Spoiler alert: “Britain is most definitely back!”
Our friends — and more recently partners — at the Alliance of the British Watch and Clock Makers (The Alliance) have some exciting news to share regarding the state of the British watch and clockmaking industries. In their first-ever Bellwether sector survey by KPMG, findings reveal over 100 watch and clockmaking brands are producing over a million watches per year and contributing to the further development of the British supply chain.
The survey offers insights into the approximately 100 British companies ranging from microbrands to multi-million-pound businesses claiming a slice of the horological industry.
“Britain has a unique heritage of invention in watch and clock making, but in the twentieth century, our sector almost disappeared,” said Alistair Audsley, co-founding director of the Alliance. “What this Bellwether survey shows is that, while we’re a small sector at an early stage, we have exciting potential. Britain is most definitely back!”
