Shortlists for 14 WatchPro Awards have already been finalised, and voting by retailers and watch brand executives will begin in the coming week, strictly by invitation only.
“We are delighted to see the enthusiasm for the WatchPro Awards in New York City,” says WatchPro co-founder and editor Rob Corder.
“The Awards have been the biggest night of the year for the watch industry in the UK for almost a decade, and is supported by nearly every major brand and retailer. It is humbling and hugely exciting to be seeing a similar level of enthusiasm for this, the very first WatchPro Awards in the United States,” he adds.
