Fossil Inc. has announced the further extension of an agreement with Qatar Airways that will see it carry the additional Emporio Armani watch AR0286 on board the airline from the summer issue of Qatar Airways Shopping Extravaganza in-flight duty free magazine.
 
Fossil and Qatar Airways started their agreement in December 2009 with the Emporio Armani watch AR0643, which will still be offered and is noted as being one of the airline’s best sellers to date.
 
“We are excited about the results of our first agreement with Qatar Airways since teaming up with the airline in December 2009 and are very pleased to be able to extend it now well into the summer season,” explains Robert Christiano, Managing Director Fossil (Europe) GmbH EMEA and Travel Retail. “The positive reaction to the first Emporio Armani timepiece we offered showed us that the elegant watch fits perfectly well to the personal style of the demanding Qatar Airways traveler.”
 
Added Keith Hunter, Qatar Airways Inflight Duty Free Senior Vice President: “By having an Emporio Armani Watch onboard Qatar Airways, we wanted to make sure we offer our esteemed passengers an exclusive range of these time pieces. We have no doubt that the new Emporio Armani watch will be well received by our customers and we look forward to increasing the range from Fossil for our future listings.”
