When we heard that LUM-TEC Watches was making custom watches, only one thing came to mind: The Secret Entourage watch by LUM-TEC. So we decided to call Chris Wiegand, the President of LUM-TEC Watches and see if we could work together to design the watch we had envisioned. Chris is extremely passionate about his watches, therefore made it a no brainer to showcase how one man made all his dreams a reality.

While Chris Wiegand was helping us design our watch, we took a few minutes to discuss his vision and passion for his company, and got a clear view of where he started but more importantly where he sees his company going. His story will illustrate how vision and determination are the main ingredients for his success. Enjoy!

Like so many of us, Jonny spent the first chapters of his professional life in a field vastly different from his core passion. Property management was a far cry from watchmaking, but Jonny, tapping into his instinctive commitment to live “The other side of boring,” made the most of his opportunities, enjoyed success and advanced his talents for business.

Most of our success stories in 2009 were based off of the car industry and aftermarket world. In 2010, we are driven to bringing you heavy hitters that are making a difference in their respective industries. For February, we bring you Jonny Sonbol of Sonbol Watches as our Secret to Success Story. Jonny Sonbol is a man on a mission to prove why you either “go big or you go home”, and he was nice enough to talk to us about his hot new watches, his business vision and his love of vintage Porsches.

One piece of literature we always look forward to is the Heavy Hitters magazine. Heavy Hitters is a relatively new magazine that just launched a year ago.  It takes a little bit of the entrepreneur aspect and a little bit of the lifestyle aspect and showcases the personalities that are considered ‘heavy hitters.’ To sum it up, it shows you the lifestyle of the rich and NOT famous and what they do for a living. If you’re like most folks, the glimpse of a young person driving a Ferrari or Lamborghini makes you wonder what they do for a living. Heavy Hitters mag features a great twist in that it features young entrepreneurs that you would have never thought to own thousand dollar watches or drive exotic cars. But as they say, you should never judge a book by its cover. Some of the individuals featured might even look familiar to you since  many of them are active on several forums. One of the founders and editor runs a blog called Bad Cop No Donut. Check it out for behind the scenes images. Heavy Hitters Magazine  is currently doing 6 issues a year. They don’t have an official website yet, so head over to their Myspace to check them out.
