Timely Incentives: Watch Supplier Selco, Pere De Temps Partner Up February 27, 2009
Selco, LLC, a supplier of fine watches and a member of ASI and PPAI for over 40 years, announced yesterday its representative agreement with Pére de Temps, a luxury brand of automatic mechanical watches with European design, to distribute and sell Pére de Temps watch line in the ad specialty marketplace.
Pére de Temps—or "Father Time" in French—launched the watch line in 2007 at the Motivation Show in Chicago to rave reviews. To solidify their retail presence, Pére de Temps later launched the brand in 2008 at select Bloomingdales and Zale's retail stores. The mechanical watch line consists of eighteen hand assembled automatic jeweled watches for men and woman priced at $395.00 to $495.00. Père de Temps is a contemporary collection most identifiable by its "exhibition" see-thru-dials in which its complicated inner workings can be viewed. All styles can be customized.
Reggie Gonzalez, vice president of corporate sales with Père de Temps, says "We chose to partner with Selco because of their family heritage in the watch business and their longevity in the ad specialty arena. Plus, they have a solid presence in the incentive and corporate gift marketplace. Our watches are designed around the incentive, premium, catalog and corporate gift buyer, so we see this as a great match."
