The “Julia” watch will be available on Indiegogo during their crowdfunding campaign January 21-February 20.
The Abingdon/Landauer collaboration began a year ago after Abingdon, Crew Member in Chief of The Abingdon Co. reached out to Landauer after seeing an interview of her online. “Julia spoke about racing the same way I speak about flying. We both are passionate about what we love and we want to see more women in the industries,” Abingdon says. “I knew I wanted to work with Julia. We both have very similar visions.”
