BeoSound 2000 Introduction for The Sharper Image 

The Legend of Sharper Image with Founder, Richard Thalheimer
//Richard Thalheimer is the legendary founder and former CEO of American consumer brand, The Sharper Image. He established The Sharper Image in 1977, inspired by a $69 jogger’s watch that he owned and other runners admired. The first runner’s watch was advertised in Runner’s World magazine and led to the success of The Sharper Image catalog, first launched in 1979. The San Francisco, California company began with only three employees.
When Thalheimer left in 2006, there were more than 4,000 full and part-time associates, 195 stores and a thriving internet and catalog business. At its peak, the company had annual revenues exceeding $750 million. The company became a public corporation in 1987 when its stock was offered on Nasdaq under the symbol SHRP. In 2007, Thalheimer started his own retail online store, RichardSolo.com, which is still in business.
