REISMAN'S STORY OF DEVELOPING FLIGHT WATCH Thirteen Years of Perseverance Having
approached a myriad of watchmakers and being told "it's too complex",
"it's too big", "it has too many buttons", it's too expensive to build
a movement from scratch..., Reisman still knew it had to be built. In
his vision, Flight Watch would make flying safer and save lives. And it
would help people communicate around the world with its global time
management system. Pilots and professionals needed this watch. It had
to be built! After the international patent
cleared search, he spoke with Breitling, Suunto, Swatch, Citizen, Tag
Heuer, Hublot, Bulova, Tissot and others. All of these companies make
aviation designs for pilots and sport watch aficionados, but no one was
interested in building a functional Flight Watch. In
March 2003, in the middle of the Mojave Desert (Joshua Tree, CA), he
was talking with Bill Shuster, from JCK Magazine. Bill knew the status
of the project as they had been talking on and off since 1998. Bill
said, "Go to Basel". Reisman went to the
Baselworld show in Switzerland. Armed with a small band of intrepid
investors, and upon meeting an angel named Ms. Monika Harito Huber, the
trip turned out to be the providence the project needed to keep moving
forward. |
