From Cornell: “KJoseph Watches was first designed, years ago, by a man who got his inspiration from his loving daughter and grandfather – and from Mickey:

With the intention of providing wristwatch lovers with both quality and beautiful design, I derived the name from my daughter, whose name is Kennedy, and my grandfather, whose name is Joseph. Kennedy was born 3/1, and my grandfather Joseph was born 4/3.  Hence, the name K.Joseph and the “3143” in the logo. 

 Not only do I have extensive business and marketing skills, but I have years of experience in delivering quality solutions to businesses. This gives me assuring confidence that my designs for KJoseph Watches can be a fit for any and all occasions. 

I design the same item (I think better!) but with higher quality than what competitors offer and at an affordable price. I love clean lines. And when designing, simplicity acts as my watchword. Through my app and latest designs, my crowning achievement is my relationship with you – the customer.

As the owner and designer, my passion for wristwatches grew from my very first Mickey wristwatch.”
