The Watches of Switzerland Group, one of the world's leading luxury watch retailers, is celebrating its remarkable 100-year journey in the timepiece industry. From its humble beginnings as a single store in Liverpool in 1924, the company has grown into a global powerhouse with over 170 showrooms across the UK and US.

Under the leadership of CEO Brian Duffy, the group has experienced unprecedented growth in recent years, expanding its presence in the luxury watch market and establishing partnerships with the world's most prestigious watchmaking brands, including Rolex, Patek Philippe, and Omega.

The centennial celebration highlights several key achievements:

Evolution from a single UK store to an international luxury retail group
Successful expansion into the US market with acquisitions of Mayors and Betteridge
Development of a robust digital presence while maintaining exceptional in-store experiences
Consistent growth in market share and revenue, even during challenging economic periods

To mark this historic milestone, the group has announced plans for special limited-edition timepiece collaborations with several luxury watch manufacturers, along with celebratory events across their global network of showrooms throughout 2024.

"This centenary represents not just our history, but our commitment to the future of luxury watch retail," says Brian Duffy. "We're proud of our heritage and excited about continuing to innovate and grow in the decades to come."
