AXIA Time Launches Exclusive Heisman Trophy Commemorative Watches

AXIA Time, a renowned creator of heirloom-quality Swiss Made timepieces, has unveiled a unique collection celebrating Fernando Mendoza, the first Heisman Trophy winner from Indiana University. This exclusive partnership aims to honor Mendoza's remarkable achievement and the journey that has left an indelible mark on Indiana football history.

The newly released collection includes two limited-edition designs: the Titanium 5 DIASIMOS, the model Mendoza wore during his Heisman-winning season, and the 316L stainless steel ARGOS, specifically designed for fans to commemorate this significant milestone. Both watches not only serve as elegant timepieces but also encapsulate Mendoza's personal narrative and the legacy of his accomplishments.

Unique Features of the Watches
Each timepiece in the Fernando Mendoza Heisman Trophy collection embodies elements tied directly to Mendoza's journey.

• - Dial Design: The watches prominently feature the Indiana trident at the 12 o'clock position, and the Heisman wordmark is elegantly placed at the 6 o'clock mark.
• - Personalized Coordinates: Engraved on the inner rim (rehaut) of the case, coordinates mark significant locations: Mendoza's hometown of Miami (3 o'clock), his collegiate start in Berkeley (6 o'clock), and Bloomington, where he earned the Heisman (9 o'clock).
• - Cuban Heritage: Reflecting his rich cultural background, the rotor of the watch proudly displays the Cuban flag, paying homage to Mendoza's family roots.
• - Symbolic Design Elements: A repeating football pattern on the dial venerates those who supported Mendoza throughout his journey, including coaches, teammates, and his family. The bronze-toned dial draws inspiration from the Heisman Trophy itself, and the strap of the DIASIMOS model is crafted from square-grain alligator leather, reminiscent of the padding in traditional football helmets.

As a part of this remarkable commemorative experience, customers can also purchase limited-edition autographed custom box sets. The DIASIMOS box set includes a signature display box and an autographed football, with only 25 sets available for $3095. Meanwhile, the ARGOS box set, limited to 75 pieces, retails for $1795. Each purchase comes with a complimentary Horn Legend vest, featuring both the Indiana University and Heisman Trophy logos, which will be shipped before the watches.

John Kanaras, founder and CEO of AXIA Time, expressed his enthusiasm about the partnership: “At AXIA Time, we recognize that meaningful moments extend beyond achievements—they encompass the people, places, and beliefs that accompany us along the way. Collaborating with Fernando Mendoza allows us to create a lasting tribute to a moment that holds great significance for not just him, but for Indiana University and the many fans who support it.”
