thus, the idea of Talley & Twine was conceived. William’s dream to see himself in luxury became tangible when he created a product that allows every Black and Brown person to see themselves that way When asked about the transition from a 9 to 5 job to building something new, Williams replied, “The transition was thrust upon me. After working on Talley & Twine as a side-hustle for two years, I was suddenly laid off from my 9 to 5. That’s when I decided to commit to my company full time. Luckily, my wife and I had a few months of expenses saved and very little personal debt, so we eventually figured it out.” The inspiring entrepreneur began his journey after raising almost $30,000 through his Kickstarter funding program. In an attempt to bridge the gap between high-end and affordable watches, Williams made an innovation without sacrificing detail or quality.
