Marc Jacobs International and Detroit’s Bedrock Manufacturing have agreed to design, produce, and launch a collection of Marc Jacobs watches.

“Marc’s legacy in watches is remarkable, and the folks behind the brand are a joy to work with,” says Tom Kartsotis, founder of Bedrock Manufacturing. “We look forward to a great partnership with the brand.”

The watches are expected to be available in select retailers beginning in October. Bedrock is the parent company to the Shinola and Filson brands.
