After months of planning, thoughtful design adjustments, and the incredible hard work of dozens of skilled craftsmen, the Brian LaViolette Foundation is proud to announce the release of the Islander Journey Watch today.

This unique limited-edition timepiece was made possible through the generosity of Marc Frankel, owner of Island Watch, headquartered in New York. Marc was introduced to the LaViolette Foundation by Green Bay-based watch photographer Ty Alexander, whose personal connection with both families helped bring this meaningful collaboration to life.
Reflecting on the significance of the project, Marc Frankel has stated, "This is the most important project I've ever worked on."

The Islander Journey Watch not only celebrates Brian LaViolette’s legacy but also aims to introduce the Foundation to a global community of watch enthusiasts.
100% of proceeds from this special release will go toward building a new endowment fund for the Brian LaViolette Scholarship, continuing the Foundation’s mission of honoring hard work, community service, and academic achievement.
