Every day, it seems, JCK receives a call from a retailer inquiring about the distributor of a certain watch brand, seeking the address of a watch manufacturer or searching for a new line to build sales.
Well, retailers, hold the phone! Assembled here is a detailed listing of just about every company that imports, manufactures or distributes watches to U.S. retailers. Each supplier, distributor or manufacturer is listed alphabetically with address, telephone, fax, e-mail and Web site data (where available). Information about the company’s distribution, brand descriptions and prices were culled from mail questionnaires and telephone calls to the companies.
Please note the JCK Watch Company Directory is provided as a reader service and not every company that distributes watches in the U.S. is listed. Some were unable to return our questionnaires in time; others provided limited information or chose to provide none at all. Only primary manufacturers, importers or distributors are included. (Wholesalers can be found in the annual JCK Jeweler’s Directory, a separate issue distributed to subscribers.)
At the end of the main listings, we mention companies we know about but were unable to include for the above reasons. Any companies not mentioned in either list were overlooked inadvertently or did not meet the criteria for inclusion.
These listings were accurate as of press time, but are subject to change. Also, under “Brand Descriptions” the term “full line” includes a widely based line of primarily quartz, men’s, women’s, dress and sport watches. If the brand offers mechanical movements and chronographs, these are noted separately. In all cases, N/A means “no answer.”
