REVEALED: 2018 WatchPro Awards Finalists — Retailer Categories
METHODOLOGY
WatchPro readers were given an opportunity over the summer to nominate the businesses, individuals and teams they most admire, and many of these have made it into the list of finalists that has ultimately been compiled by the WatchPro team.
The finalists presented here have all been outstanding over the past 12 months — standing out among competitors and peers for the quality of ideas, execution, creativity and sheer hard work. They are not alone in achieving extraordinary things in our highly competitive and challenging industry, and in some ways represent the efforts of the industry as a whole.
Voting for the winners is not open to the public. WatchPro will be e-mail industry executives this week with a link to the voting form. Retailers will be asked to vote for the suppliers they most admire, while suppliers will be asked to vote for the retailers they most admire. This voting system ensures that the jury is comprised entirely of industry leaders that are immersed every day in the British watch business.
