Federico Iossa is a man with an enviable inside knowledge of the US watch market, having made a huge success of his pre-owned watch business Delray Watch Supply and also amassing more than 117,000 subscribers on his Federico Talks Watches YouTube channel.
Born in New York City to Italian parents, Federico spent his youth between the States and the Spanish capital of Madrid.
His first foray into the watch world was to work for retailers Tourneau and Wempe.
He would later go on to be appointed regional sales manager of Piaget’s North America division.
Harnessing that priceless experience, Federico launched Delray Watch Supply five years ago.
It has already become one of the most-visited online watch dealers in the US, with much traffic being driven from Federico’s popular YouTube channel.
Alongside managing the content for Federico Talks Watches, Federico also looks after daily operations for Delray and buys and sources the watches too.
Federico has transformed his business from a $4,000 investment to projected revenues in 2022 of more than $7 million.
He also reports that the business has grown by more than 35% in the past 12 months, and he hopes to build on this success with the help of a growing team.
Outside of work, Federico loves to travel and puts exploring new locations in South East Asia, Africa and Eastern Europe at the top of his upcoming hit list.
“Seeing the world – I adore it,” says the entrepreneur, whose wanderlust is captured perfectly in his Hot 100 shoot.
“I also love anything that goes fast; I love taking my cars out for spirited drives early on Sunday mornings and, at the end of the day, I am actually quite a simple guy.”
