Scorpio to unveil new watch brand at Singapore show

Swiss watch brand Jacques du Manoir


UK. Scorpio has extended its extensive portfolio of watches with Swiss brand Jacques du Manoir, for which it has exclusive distribution rights for inflight and travel retail sales worldwide. The collection can be seen at the TFWA Asia Pacific show next month (Stand number: K28).

The high-quality Swiss watches are manufactured by the Boegli family and have a tradition that goes back four generations. The modern Jacques du Manoir watches have been made for the past two decades and include wrist-watches, pocket watches and pendant watches, both quartz and mechanical.

Scorpio will initially be offering 20 skus retailing from US$169 to US$249.

“These are classical Swiss watches, very well made and of excellent quality, but which are far more affordable than others on the market,” said Scorpio Group Sales & Marketing Director Richard Kennedy. “We are introducing them to buyers in Singapore and have high expectations for the brand.”

Scorpio’s watch portfolio already includes top-of-the-range Aviator watches, now available in 32 skus and with many fresh models, along with Avalanche, the colourful quartz watch range, now extended with two new designs: Alpine and Electric. All Avalanche watches come with a free Carabiner bottle opener and are presented in colourful, see-through packaging which is easily stackable.

A double-sided full merchandising display system has been introduced to maximise sales potential for the brand.

Stand contacts at the 2011 TFWA Asia Pacific show will be Richard Kennedy and Garry Stoner.
