"Uncle" Joe & Phoenix watches

Not too long ago I showed a watch industry friend of mine a prototype of one of our new Phoenix watches. Unbeknownst to me he happened to have a very high-profile friend (he calls ​him “Uncle​"Joe) who is a fan of watches and thought he might like the design. “Can you send him one to check out”? Long story short - we sent a prototype for Uncle​ Joe to review and today he owns all three Phoenix Eagles.

You may remember him from such roles as the dapper gangster Joey Zasa, Special Agent Rossi, the voice of Fat Tony, the host of the Outdoor Channel’s Gun Stories series​, or one of the other 200+ roles played throughout his award-winning career.

Whether you recognize his signature voice and style - or the roles played, Joe Mantegna is more than an award-winning actor with a star on the Hollywood Walk of fame​ - he’s an authentic, patriotic, and philanthropic American that invests his own time and talent to honor those that serve and have served our country. In addition to co-hosting the National Memorial Day Concert with Gary Sinise (since 2006), Joe is also the spokesperson for the National Museum of the United States Army.

With this in-mind, we could not be happier to have our 1st flight of the Phoenix Eagle perched on Mr. Mantegna’s wrist!

From the founders (David, MJ, and Gary) we'd like to formally thank Mr. Mantegna for his patronage, patriotic service to America, and also for sending us a pic wearing the Phoenix Golden Eagle. Mr. Mantegna - thank you! And thank you to my watch industry friend Mr. "S" for connecting us to Uncle Joe!
