Global Watch Leader E. Gluck Corporation to Launch WITHit Wearable Accessories to Duty Free and Travel Retail
NEW YORK, June 29, 2021 – E. Gluck Corporation, a leader in the global watch industry for over 65 years and maker of fashion watch brands such as Anne Klein, Armitron and Torgoen, will now offer wearable accessories from its newest brand, WITHit, to Duty Free and Travel Retail. WITHit is a wearable accessories brand that offers fashionable straps, bracelets and protective covers for smart watches and wireless earbuds for brands including Apple, Fitbit and Samsung.
WITHit is one of the largest wearable tech accessory manufacturers in the U.S. and has a loyal following of customers who trust the brand’s style, comfort, performance and durability. With over 500 million wearable devices in use globally, and the expectation of tremendous future growth in the global smart watch market, E. Gluck is positioning WITHit to be an international leader in the category.
E. Gluck plans to exhibit WITHit’s offerings at in-person events such as the TFWA World Exhibition and Conference scheduled to take place in Cannes, France from October 24-28, 2021.
Rob Robertaccio, SVP of Global & Travel Retail Sales, remarked: “We are so excited to have this new category of product to offer to Duty Free and Travel Retail. The best part of the WITHit brand is that it allows us to show a quality accessory for your Apple Watch or other wearable at prices starting at $14.99USD.”
E. Gluck plans to expand WITHit’s collection of wearable accessories under some of its other licensed brand names such as Armitron, Anne Klein and Vince Camuto. Robertaccio added: “The introduction of wearable accessories from WITHit also allows us to position several of our other brands in the category. For example, the loyal Anne Klein watch customer who has added a smart watch to her collection can now style that device with the same stylish, quality looks we offer for our traditional watches.”
E. Gluck has begun previewing its wearable collections with several key accounts and has received an overwhelming positive response.
“Given the early response we have received,” said Robertaccio, “we expect this category to be a huge success in Duty Free and Travel Retail.”
