Competitor Analysis
We analyzed watches with similar
price points, to compare their
durability, and quality and their use
of materials & colors.
However, unlike its competitors,
Michael Kors is a celebrated life-
style brand. The company holds
a high standard of maintaining
its classic American style through
the use of sleek designs, careful
attention to detail and meticulous
marketing strategies

Brand Influence
Celebrities serve as ambassadors
that help influence and promote a
desirable, luxurious lifestyle.
We then found a design
opportunity in exploring iconic,
glamorous American coastal
destinations, where this lifestyle
could occur.
