Martine Ilana is the Founder and Designer for La Mer Collections, the handmade watch company based in Los Angeles, California. I have had the pleasure of working with her several times over the years, the first time was when I featured her unique and gorgeous leather wrap watches on an E! News gift guide a few years back. Martine was always the one sending me everything and I thought she just worked for La Mer, until I went down to visit her amazing headquarters in Venice and found out she is almost a one-woman show! Sure she has grown to a team of 30 in her space now, but she is still the brains behind the entire operation and designs everything! She is also one of the nicest, most down-to-earth and stylish ladies I have ever met! Watch the video and let me know what you think! Make sure you also keep watching La Mer grow – stunning leather clutches are coming out this fall!
