About Us
My name is Yolie Moreno. I am the creator and owner of Sasqwatch Watch Company Inc. It's been 22 years in the making. I came up with the idea for this watch based on a simple play on the word Sasquatch. I thought: “Hmm Sasqwatch” — a watch that looks like a Bigfoot foot. That was back when I was 18 years old. Before computers, before the internet, before cell phones became the only way of telling time. I busily went about making my first “prototype” out of hot glue and mangled stuffed animal fur. As you can imagine it was pretty rough.

The second “incarnation” came when I lost the idea of making it furry. It became obvious that a watch that had fur wouldn't really work. My second prototype wasn't much better, but the “idea” was still working it's way around my brain. I just couldn't create what was actually in my head. That's when I began to research just how you actually get something MADE. Even back in the early 1990's it was clear that I was going to have to get it made in Hong Kong, Taiwan or China. I searched the New York Public Library in NYC and discovered the Trade Commissions in these countries. I corresponded with a few manufacturers that enlightened me to the 10,000 piece minimum order. This is where most of my momentum stopped dead in it's tracks. Even at the cheapest possible cost, we were talking about at least $30,000.00. Well, that I couldn't even conceive of. So I thought, I'll get a patent, make my protoypes, "package" the concept and try to sell the idea. Read more on our blog...
