This year’s WatchPro Awards will return to the beautiful ballroom at 8 Northumberland on November 9, the night before WatchPro Salon opens its doors.
The WatchPro Awards are the biggest night of the year for the British watch industry, with over 300 executives expected to gather for the gala black tie dinner.
In a slight change to the nomination process, WatchPro editors compiled long lists for each of the 15 awards. These were then added to as nominations from the industry were received.
Voting is only open to members of the watch trade operating in the UK, and we require a verifiable company e-mail address as part of the survey (gmail, hotmail, etc, are not permitted). All voting is anonymous, with only the aggregate results used.
There is one survey form for retailers, which are voting for the watch brands they have most admired over the past year.
A separate survey form is for executives working for the brands, which are voting for the retailers that have impressed them most over the past year.
If you are retailer, please click here to cast your votes.
If you work for a watch brand, please click here to cast your votes.
Deadline for voting is Friday, October 20, so we urge you to take part immediately.
Here are the long lists for the businesses you will be voting on for the 2023 WatchPro Awards.
