About Our Logo

The Chisco logo depicts the mountain and the waves on which brothers Beirne and Gregg Chisolm base their lifestyles and their business. Growing up outside New York City, they quickly wandered west in search of Maui's Northshore tradewind whipped waves.

While on Maui, and fed up with losing too many watches to the relentless waves, (causing them to be late yet again for their evening restaurant jobs) they started working on a new type of watchband. 20 bucks bought them a used sewing machine, and then after a few long frustrating nights, they produced their first prototype watchbands based on the double wrap principal of surfboard leashes. They called it simply, THE BAND®

The Band® is the Original Action Sports Watchband.

After 18 months of product testing and selling, B&G were getting such positive feedback from their watchbands that they decided to make it a full-flung enterprise and named their new company CHISCO. (For Chisolm Company) The year was 1986.

Now 15 years later, in addition to THE BAND® watchbands, CHISCO has grown to have an entire line of action/fashion Watchbands, beautiful Belts, functional Keychains, cool Wallets, Eyeglass Retainers, Pet products, as well as unique and innovative accessories for skiing, biking, and in-line skating. Still, "The Original", THE BAND® dominates as one of the best selling action sports watchbands worldwide.

Never losing focus on their active lifestyles, B&G work to introduce new products every year and CHISCO continues to grow at a remarkable rate. Gregg and Beirne, still in search of deep powder and the perfect wind and waves, expect to keep the company growing for years to come. This is due to their simple and straightforward business philosophy: "Under Promise and Over Deliver". Chisco will always supply unique, well-made products to active sport fanatics while treating them with respect, quality service and a commitment to satisfaction that would make a mother proud.

CHISCO, "JUST ADD ACTION"
