team

of entrepreneurs in his native Switzerland, Polli

had been devel-

oping the concept of a Swiss-made watch sold at factory-direct prices
over the Internet. The two friends realized that this pricing model
would allow them to eliminate the costs associated with traditional
distribution networks, which makes up 64 to 70 percent of the final
watch price, while providing alumni with a high-quality product that reflects their

school pride.

and Nareedokmai turned the concept into a reality, and Factoryl21 became the first online watch maker in the Swiss watch industry. Now, through this new partnership, you can support the Bloomsburg University Alumni Association and have Swiss-made watch
elegance and quality at factory-direct prices.
