Come on, Kobold sold candy for less fortunate classmates while in high school - that sounds like something a fifth grade girl would do.

This is about the school demonstrating the ability to nurture entrepreneurship.

Pure marketing.

This is the big buzz now.

I even have one like this from my school.

Not a bad article and I like some Kobold models, although having owned a couple recently I found their form/fit to be a bit lacking for the prices they charge. I'm not sure why some people hate MK, though :shrug:

The people he has working in Pittsburgh are mostly incompetent, so I don't trust them to have trained Sherpas to build expensive watches.
