RC Watches Investment
Originally operating as a wholesale trade company that supplied luxury watches to the watch industry, the company was founded in March 2015. Because the company had established business contacts previous to its founding, it was able to grow and expand rapidly. The company supplied more than 100 watch dealers worldwide, with the majority of its business being business-to-business with a small amount of retail sales. In our seven years of trading, the company has achieved a great deal thus far. We have sold watches for more than £7.5 million, with 4500 of those sales going to trade and retail. In addition to high-profile and net-worth clients, we have sold watches to NBA stars and Premier League players. Our company, which has developed years of relationships in the luxury watch industry, is still entirely self-funded and has not raised any outside cash.
The post-pandemic business of the company has experienced very positive sales results in both the trade and retail markets. We secured and outfitted our opulent showroom in London’s Hatton Garden as of January 2021. Our main goal is to raise funds to develop and grow our company, as well as to promote our brand and raise awareness of it both domestically and internationally.
