Full Story
The deadline for entries to the prominent awards ceremony honouring the UK watch industry is set for midnight on Friday, 7 August.
Scheduled to occur on 23 November at the esteemed One Marylebone venue in London, the WatchPro Awards, in collaboration with UK Protection, aim to celebrate remarkable timepieces while highlighting the businesses and individuals propelling innovation, growth, and service excellence in the UK watch sector.
This year’s awards will see partnerships with notable companies including WOLF, Redd Retail Group, and Malca-Amit.
Having run for nearly ten years, the WatchPro UK Awards have quickly become an essential event within the industry, uniting key figures from various sectors to acknowledge breakthroughs in retail, product development, and exceptional customer experiences.
The awards night has transcended mere trophy presentations for many attendees. “The WatchPro Awards are the highlight of the industry calendar and an evening not to be missed,” remarked David Lee, chairman and CEO of Hing Wa Lee. “They provide a unique opportunity to bring the watch community together under one roof, recognising the excellence, passion and dedication of the people, brands and businesses driving our industry forward.”
John Schmerler, CEO of The 1916 Company, views the event as “an annual moment of unity in the watch market,” emphasising that it serves as a night to honour achievements and excellence throughout the industry.
Finalists and winners are selected by peers, with retail executives casting votes for the brands they respect most while brand executives reciprocate by voting for retailers, ensuring that the accolades are both credible and meaningful.
A diverse array of categories will once again be featured, acknowledging achievements in retail, brand development, marketing, client experience, and leadership.
Those interested in joining influential figures in the industry for an evening of celebration and networking can find more information on the WatchPro Awards website.
Sponsors of the WatchPro Awards benefit from access to a highly engaged and influential audience — the key decision-makers shaping the future of the UK watch industry during this pivotal time for service and client experience excellence.
