Influencers amplify London unveiling of Gucci’s Grip watches

Fraser Hart and Bucherer executives joined fellow retail VIPs and a number of people who share their lives on social media.

Major watch world influencers Noel Coyle and Adam Obernik from Fraser Hart, Erica Redgrave at Bucherer and a slew of other leading retail executives mixed with people who share their lives on social media at a high profile launch for Gucci’s Grip watches in London last night.

Retailers giving their thumbs up to the genderless Grip collection will be critical to its success. It will be the difference between the watches being stocked at high traffic stores, seen at eye level in windows, being pushed by sales consultants on the shop floor, and promoted on home pages of ecommerce sites.

The Grip event was hosted by Gucci president and CEO Marco Bizzarri and Gucci Timepieces CEO Piero Braga (pictured above).

The theme of the party was skateboard culture, particularly from its 1970s origin, and an unused industrial wharf was just the type of space that might have been adopted by skating pioneers.
