Young Swiss watch brand, Daumier Swiss began in 2015 with the idea revolving around “The Good New Days” concept which encapsulates forever trendy lifestyles. Their lovingly crafted watches can be segmented into different pillars such as “Super Heroes”, “Motor Sports”, “Music” and “Landmarks”. Clearly being made for the fans of each of the aforementioned genres, Daumier’s bold and recognizable timepieces have evolved to become iconic of the brand’s ethos. In many ways, Daumier’s ability to adapt and challenge the rules of watchmaking is in itself a story for the brand as well as those who choose their watches.
In 2016, Daumier’s partnership with Richburry Company Ltd., a Hong Kong travel retail business specialist company allowed the brand to successfully make its debut in the highly competitive travel retail industry. In a short span of just two years, Daumier became immensely popular among many tourists and travelers thanks to the affordable value and design of its watches. Subsequently, Daumier achieved its status as one of the top three best sellable brands across all travel retail points in Hong Kong, Macau, Thailand, Taiwan and Dubai.
