Our Story
In 1979 CSISTARS was incorporated. The founder, Jack Rogers crafted a unique way to personalize watches for retiring employees. Company executives appreciated the status and symbolism of presenting a timeless gift elegantly inset with their company’s medallion. These special watches were a source a pride cherished by recipients and keepsake pieces known to be handed down generations.
By the early 80s Jack joined forces with Steven Brown and together they saw an opportunity to inlay gold or silver medallions on other award items including writing instruments, desk accessories, clocks, and more to recognize years of service milestones. The CSI Medallion line was officially formed. This line was perfectly suited for clients who were proud of their brand and wanted to offer symbolic gifts to their employees and customers.
What started out as a small watch studio has grown into a global recognition company with clients in 63 countries. Today CSISTARS has two locations; one in Toronto Canada and the second in Niagara Falls, NY and proudly employs more than 100 people. While we still honor time (and have amazing watches) CSISTARS has grown to specialize in personalized recognition items and technology that encourages everyone to recognize others in words, deeds and actions.
