Belgian watchmaker Manfred+Cracco is being introduced to the UK by Essex-based Grenchen Time, which also distributes straps and watches from Morellato and Michel Herbelin. <\/strong><\/p>\n The watch brand is the perfect combination of style, Swiss-made heritage and quality, explains Grenchen Time director Suzie Brooks, as she explains in conversation with WatchPro.<\/strong><\/p>\n WatchPro: What attracted you to Manfred+Cracco in the first place? <\/strong><\/em> WP: What makes you think that watch retailers and consumers will be equally enthusiastic about Manfred+Cracco? <\/strong><\/em>
\nSuzie Brooks:<\/strong> The main attraction of Manfred+Cracco for us was undoubtedly the high specification of the product at a competitive price. The watches are Swiss made with sapphire crystals and have a 10 year battery life. We could easily see a gap in the market for a brand aimed at young people but with Swiss made quality.<\/p>\n
\nSB:<\/strong> Retailers and consumers will see a quality product that will provide hassle-free enjoyment for many years. The watches are offered with interchangeable straps, which will allow consumers to vary their look without having to buy a new watch. The brand is new and fresh but, unlike so many watch brands aimed at young people, is backed up by a watch company with 85 years of knowledge and expertise to build upon.<\/p>\n
