On Jan. 8, Kwame Molden, MBA, the co-founder and CEO of SPGBK Watches, received a distinguished honor from the City of Fayetteville through a proclamation that celebrated his exceptional contributions to the city.

SPGBK Watches, a black-owned designer watch company headquartered in Charlotte, North Carolina, stands as a testament to Molden's commitment to drawing inspiration from the rich tapestry of the Black community and culture. The company's unique designs not only showcase the essence of Fayetteville, with a spotlight on local schools and monuments, but also pay homage to Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) and the vibrant HBCU culture.

The City of Fayetteville's proclamation acknowledges Molden's role in not only shaping the success of SPGBK Watches but also in elevating the community through his dedication to cultural representation, economic empowerment and educational advocacy
