The Independent Watchmaking Report 2025
If you work in the watch industry, you know how important indie brands are. They are creative, dynamic, innovative and open. They have an influence on consumers and mainstream brands alike that is disproportionate to their size.
But they have never been assessed and analysed as one. Until now.
The Independent Watchmaking Report is an attempt to catalogue and better understand this diverse sector. With anonymised data provided by 81 brands from around the world, it paints an unprecedented picture of what it means to be an independent watch brand today.
Covering corporate fundamentals, production statistics, product breakdowns, retail and marketing strategies, communication activity and their hopes and fears for the future, it is a 25 page, 6500 word overview the like of which cannot be found elsewhere.
Brands that have seen the report say that it is:
“Fantastic”
“A valuable report”
“Extremely insightful”
“A wealth of relevant and valuable information”
