Katie Goldblatt, director of Rapport London, has confirmed that her family’s fourth generation luxury watch, accessories and leather products business is rapidly expanding in the United States.
Rapport London recently opened a logistics and distribution center in New Jersey to service a growing number of customers throughout the country.
Retailers include Bergdorf Goodman, Neiman Marcus, Saks Fifth Avenue, premium watch retailers such as Tourneau-Bucherer, London Jewelers and online retailers Rapport USA, MR PORTER, Farfetch and Hodinkee.
Rapport London’s range includes automatic watch winders and accessories which cater to luxury watch collectors, pocket watches, and upscale leather and wooden gifts for ladies and gentlemen.
The brand also produces a range of specialty trunks designed to house watch winders, jewelry and specialty accessories.
The company was originally founded in 1898 by Maurice A. Rapport, who at the age of twenty produced his first timepiece.
It was so well received that M. A. Rapport & Co. Ltd. was born, and the clocks produced by the company ultimately graced fine homes throughout the world.
Now, three generations later, Maurice’s grandson Derek is chairman of Rapport London, while Goldblatt, great-grandaughter of the founder, and Oliver Rapport (also a grandson of Maurice) serve as active co-directors.
