Debaufre proudly announces a new partnership with Joe Urich, the original owner and editor of Hr:Watches Magazine. Urich joins the team to bring his expertise and insight to the business model of Debaufre, and to share his uncensored opinions about the current state and future predictions of the watch industry. "Urich adds a tremendous value to Debaufre, considering his history of publishing the Urich View of the watch industry in Hr:Watches Magazine which in turn created a real connection with watch enthusiasts because of its honesty, we believe our customers will welcome Urich as someone to turn to for an unbiased voice." says Alldaron, VP of Debaufre, "Thanks to the help and support of our customers, Debaufre has grown to a larger company much faster than we expected. This partnership with Urich will boost our reach even further and improve customer satisfaction by bringing a recognized voice to the team." he continues.
Sometime in the mid 1990's, Urich launched Hr:Watches Magazine. The magazine was received by an eagerly awaiting audience, since pouring forth from the pages was a fresh look behind the world of Swiss timepieces. Urich reviewed all companies, large and small, and said what he thought, not influenced by political standings or favoritism. Urich definitely shook things up, he believed that sharing his personal thoughts of the watch industry added an honesty factor as spoken from the customer's point of view.
Debaufre launched in 2005, favoring an online sales approach over the traditional retail store channels, realizing that enough companies existed which catered to the retail store genre. At the time of its launch, Debaufre was met with skepticism and ridicule for its efforts to branch out into an unproven marketplace against all conventional wisdom.
Online stores are the future, the days of retail stores for Swiss watches are slowly coming to an end, buyers realize that direct sales is the way to go, just look at Amazon or Tiger Direct. Debaufre has proven itself as the major brand catering to the Online Generation and has built a tremendous following, receiving tons of repeat customers and word of mouth referrals. The Online Generation is a new type of consumer, with new habits and a new mentality and they choose online sales for their Swiss watch needs.
All of this attention and criticism only proves that Debaufre's approach, the new concept of online branding and direct sales, works and is a sure sign of the future of the watch industry. Urich believes in the progressiveness of Debaufre watches and joined to contribute uncensored insight and expertise about the watch industry as someone who lives on the inside. "I like the approach and brashness of these guys, really taking a personal interest in the people they do business with." says Urich.
