About Eyal Lalo - Invicta Watch Business
Invicta watches TV guest Eyal Lalo is a third-generation watchmaker. His grandfather taught his father, who in turn taught him everything there is to know about the watch business. Eyal’s firsthand experience in the luxury industry allowed him to recognize the areas within the watch market that were being ignored by other brands—mainly the ability to provide distinctive designs and quality craftsmanship for reasonable prices. Eyal believes you shouldn’t have to spend thousands of dollars to own a quality watch.

What inspires Eyal and his team at Invicta is turning the balance of power in the watch industry back to the consumer. With each new design, Invicta has struck down the walls that once stood between the average consumer and true watch luxury. Eyal says, “I like to be known as the Robin Hood of this industry.”

One can surmise many things from this statement.  Either:
1) Eyal's grandfather didn't know much about watchmaking.
2) Eyal's father didn't know much about watchmaking.
3) Eyal was a poor student, or
4) Eyal's father and grandfather were also pathological liars and dishonest businessmen and Eyal was a great student!


Now that's funny anodie.gif

Here's a little something that might substantiate number 4...the watch maker Abraham Lalo, his father trying to open a farmers market without the proper permits.
