The name came from its founder Chauncey Banks , who , as child sneaking around during family weekend parties & watching family members dance to "Do The Funky Chicken" a dance craze created by, the late Rufus Thomas.

The Fonky Chicken was founded in April 1990 as one of the FIRST Bay Area Urban Hip-Hop stores. The new and improved Fonky Chicken was later hatched at the Westfield Mall in Fairfield, California. This was one of the first Minority owned independent urban clothing stores in major malls. In 2005, urban apparel fashion and CD's sales began to sag due to major stores picking up urban designs, causing the Owner to "fry the chicken".

The Founders

An art student and an engineer walk into a bar...

In 2016, Johan, an art student, and Marcus, an engineer, met at Stanford University in an interdisciplinary course. Their collaboration on a project combining art and technology sparked the idea to start a wristwatch company.


Later that year, they founded their company timepiece, blending Johan's design skills with Marcus's technical expertise to create high-end watches. Their commitment to quality and innovation has sustained the company, building a loyal customer base and establishing their brand as a respected name in luxury timepieces.
