If I had to choose between my superbowl ring and my watch, i'd pick my watch.
This watch is exquisite. I have many watches. But this one reminds me how lucky I was.
As an alum and now the proud father of a student, these matching, bespoke timepieces are a beautiful way to commemorate such a period in our lives.
Commemorating the most important memories of your life in something that you’ll actually wear is the reason I was drawn to AXIA Time.
AXIA Time was 30 years in the making.
IT STARTED WITH A WIN — AND A WATCH.
Ever since winning the Lacrosse Ivy League Championship in 1988, founder John Kanaras searched for a high quality watch with a design that matched the significance of his achievements. In 2018, he built his vision, just in time for his alma mater team to win again.
