A teenager in Sri Lanka, a single mom from Cyprus, and a San Francisco man with a big dream.
Just a few years ago, these three strangers were struggling to make ends meet, and to find their purpose. Little did they know, they would all, in their respective corners of the world, soon meet face to face with their aha moments. And, they would be unexpectedly connected.

In 2013, Jake Kassan and Kramer LaPlante drop out of college to found MVMT Watches. Their vision: high-quality, classically designed watches for a fraction of what high-end pieces normally cost. This is their story.
Not only did they envision selling to the people, they started with the people. Over 60 days, the duo raised $220,000 through Indiegogo, the second most successful fashion campaign ever. And that was just the start.
MVMT Watches, which offers high quality, classically designed watches for a fraction of what high-end pieces cost, began life as the second highest funded Indiegogo campaign of 2013. The watches, which are created with a minimalist look and worn professionally or casually, sell for less than half of those offered by competitors.
