Following scores of nominations and hundreds of votes cast, the finalists in the retailer categories for the 2023 WatchPro Awards are announced today.
This year’s WatchPro Awards take place in the sumptuous Victorian ballroom of 8 Northumberland, a historic site just a stone’s throw from London’s Trafalgar Square.
The black tie dinner is on November 9, the day before WatchPro Salon opens its doors, making it a festival of time for London over three days from November 9 to 11.
Up to 300 people will attend the 2023 WatchPro Awards, which recognise the outstanding achievements of retailers in the primary and secondary markets, watch brands and other suppliers.
The awards are the UK watch industry’s biggest night of the year, and a unique opportunity for executives to celebrate and catch up with the people they work with all year round and to make new friends and connections.
Our unique voting process sees executives from watch brands and suppliers voting for the retailers they have most admired over the past year.
Retailers vote for the watch brands and suppliers they have most admired.
Voting closed last Friday, and the finalists can be revealed.
Today we announce finalists in the retailer award categories.
