Fossil Group is refocusing resources to support our core strength and core segments of our business that continue to provide us with strong growth opportunities: designing and distributing exciting heritage watches, jewelry and leather goods under our own and licensed brands,Fossil Group spokeswoman Amanda Castelli said this The limit.
