The collaboration comes as Intel tries to expand beyond the personal computer industry into new markets, including tablets and a growing wave of smartwatches and other Internet-connected garments.
As well as cooperating on technology-oriented fashion products, Fossil will help Intel's venture capital arm look for investments to accelerate innovation in wearable computing, Intel said in a statement.
Intel has also been working with design company Opening Ceremony to launch a fashion bracelet with semi-precious gems, communications features and wireless charging.
