So why start a watch brand yourself?<\/strong><\/p><p>To fund my watchmaking hobby, I started buying and selling Swiss mechanical watches over the internet in 2012. That went so well that, with a business partner, I opened several online boutiques for independent Swiss watch brands. As fun and interesting as that was; when I sat down with those brands, the penny dropped. I wanted to be on the other side of the table. I wanted to own a watch brand myself. Because it's great to make people happy with a product. And how great is it if you have developed the product yourself...<\/p><p><strong><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-13694 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/gentlemenswatch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Venturist-table-front-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"788\" height=\"526\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gentlemenswatch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Venturist-table-front-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gentlemenswatch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Venturist-table-front-scaled-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/gentlemenswatch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Venturist-table-front-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/gentlemenswatch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Venturist-table-front-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gentlemenswatch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Venturist-table-front-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/gentlemenswatch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Venturist-table-front-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/gentlemenswatch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Venturist-table-front-610x407.jpg 610w, https:\/\/gentlemenswatch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Venturist-table-front-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gentlemenswatch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Venturist-table-front-450x300.jpg 450w, https:\/\/gentlemenswatch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Venturist-table-front-1200x800.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 788px) 100vw, 788px\" \/>And then came Airain. Wasn't one brand challenging enough?<\/strong><\/p><p>It certainly was, and so now we need to distribute our attention efficiently among the brands without shortchanging them. But there are too many 'historically relevant' watch brands to limit yourself to one. That would be a waste. So that's why we are going for a family of those kinds of watch brands. We are bringing them together in one company, hoping to gain some efficiencies at the back end. Think procurement but also interchangeability of straps, for example. By also being transparent and clear about it to our customers, we see that people who previously bought a Lebois &amp; Co now also buy Airain and vice versa.<\/p><p><strong>How would you characterise each brand in one sentence?<\/strong><\/p><p>Lebois &amp; Co is an elegant brand with understated watch models, which people like to have in their collection for both 'dressy occasions' and easy-to-wear everyday pieces.<\/p><p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-13692 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/gentlemenswatch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Airain-Type-20-421.436-300x300.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gentlemenswatch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Airain-Type-20-421.436-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/gentlemenswatch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Airain-Type-20-421.436-336x336.png 336w, https:\/\/gentlemenswatch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Airain-Type-20-421.436-600x600.png 600w, https:\/\/gentlemenswatch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Airain-Type-20-421.436-1024x1024.png 1024w, https:\/\/gentlemenswatch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Airain-Type-20-421.436-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/gentlemenswatch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Airain-Type-20-421.436-768x768.png 768w, https:\/\/gentlemenswatch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Airain-Type-20-421.436-610x610.png 610w, https:\/\/gentlemenswatch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Airain-Type-20-421.436-450x450.png 450w, https:\/\/gentlemenswatch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Airain-Type-20-421.436-1200x1200.png 1200w, https:\/\/gentlemenswatch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Airain-Type-20-421.436.png 1500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>Airain is a bit tougher, with the first model being the reissue of the legendary Type 20 that was officially used by the French army in the 1950s and 1960s as a reliable time-measuring device on the wrist of its airmen.<\/p><p><strong>The price segment in which your brands operate is crowded. How do you make sure to get noticed?<\/strong><\/p><p>Our strategy is very simple: we offer more than our competitors for the same money - or even less money. In other words, we create watches that offer great value for money, i.e. at the lower end of the market in terms of price, while the finish, performance and specifications are more at the upper end. A good example is the recently re-released <a href=\"https:\/\/gentlemenswatch.com\/en\/2021\/08\/01\/airain-type-20-re-edition\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Airain Type 20<\/a>. For \u20ac2600, we offer a high-quality mechanical chronograph with flyback complication. Competitors are \u20ac1,000 to sometimes \u20ac13,000 more expensive.<\/p><p><strong>Who are currently your customers and where do they come from?<\/strong><\/p><p>Most of our customers already have established watches. <a href=\"https:\/\/gentlemenswatch.com\/en\/2021\/11\/23\/watch-of-the-day-oris-okavango-air-rescue-limited-edition\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Oris<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/gentlemenswatch.com\/en\/2021\/11\/25\/iwc-big-pilots-watch-monopusher-chronograph\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">IWC<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/gentlemenswatch.com\/en\/2022\/01\/05\/longines-spirit-in-titanium\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Longines<\/a>, Tudor, but also <a href=\"https:\/\/gentlemenswatch.com\/en\/2021\/09\/15\/vintage-rolex-datejust\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Rolex<\/a> and Omega.

Of course, this does not mean that we do not also work through distribution or retail channels, but interacting directly with customers is very instructive and interesting. Indeed, without this direct contact, we would not have been able to carry out our 'CoLAB project'. Several thousand votes were cast on the different models and options we proposed.
