Established in San Francisco in 1974, GSI began as a general importer of goods from the Far East. After, quickly establishing ourselves as one of the West Coast's leading wholesalers of household goods and electronics, we turned our focus to an industry where further opportunity was recognized to exist - the fashion watch industry. 

Twenty-five years ago, there was a need for quality, fashion-oriented and value-driven timepieces amid the changing retail environment. With immediate investments into product design, development and marketing, along with an already established distribution network and overseas sourcing relationships, we quickly became an early leader in the popular watch business. 

These early initiatives included private label programs for retailers, and licensed brand names that have helped change the way America shops for watches.

Today we offer our retail and brand-name partners over three decades of business experience, with product and category expertise and respected relationships with the country's largest and most significant retailers.
