Winners of the 2019 WatchPro Awards were revealed last night at a spectacular gala dinner in Central London.
Over 300 leading executives, representing brands, wholesalers and retailers that collectively account for over 90% of watch sales in this country, gathered to see which teams, individuals and companies are most admired by their peers in the industry.
WatchPro’s voting system for the awards is by invitation-only, with executives at watch brand offices asked to vote for the retailers they most admire. Retailers are asked to vote for the brands they most admire.
Today we reveal the winners of the watch brand award categories, which cover the high volume players right up to the pinnacle of the luxury watchmakers.
Tomorrow we will share the results of the retailer awards.
The winners are revealed below, but click through and you can see the full breakdown of the voting in each category — in itself a fascinating piece of market research that gets inside the collective mind of our industry.
