Bobby H Bobby Watches - Cool New Watches, Interesting Name!
The BOBBY H BOBBY watches, which, their creators say, “align classic design with an affordable industrial material,” have garnered so much attention since they burst onto the scene late last year, that they have already been featured in the Globe and Mail and Chatelaine magazine.
But until last year, Robert Herzig, 25, never thought that creating a new brand of watches was in the cards.
Robert Herzig "Bobby"
Since graduating from Dalhousie University with a degree in geology with a minor in business, Herzig has worked in the diamond industry.
“I studied with the GIA, the Gemological Institute of America, and I wanted to go – since I studied geology in university – into the diamond industry and the mining industry.”
He said that once school was over, he didn’t want to end up in the Northwest Territories, where Canada’s diamonds are mined.
“I got a job working as a diamond buyer for a wholesale jewelry company in Toronto. But I got bored with that because I was working in a vault. As you can imagine, a vault isn’t a fun place to work. There are no windows, no view,” he said with a laugh.
“She contacted me, knowing I was in the jewelry industry to see what could be done, and a couple days later, we realized we could do this.”
They launched their Toronto-based business in August and have been moving forward since then.
