DUBAI. Dubai Duty Free sales staff have undergone training with Glashütte Original, one of Germany’s most exclusive handmade watchmakers, established 160 years ago.
Ramesh Prabhakar, Managing Partner of the Rivoli Group, which organised the training sessions, said: “We strongly believe that the standards and image of the luxury watch industry are managed by its front-end staff. Dubai Duty Free is one of our most critical point of sales. Therefore, a need was felt to conduct an exclusive training session for sales staff within DDF. Moreover, Glashütte Original makes significant investments in making their entire sales network aware of the horological treasures behind the mechanical finesse of every Glashütte Original, as each watch features complicated movement technology.”
Glashütte Original watches are entirely produced in-house and are admired by collectors for their optimum precision, classic design features, quality and reliability. The US trade magazine iW international awarded the Glashütte Platinum PanoMaticChrono the first place at the iW Readers Choice Awards in the Chronographs category.
