Jorg Gray Adds Retailers Time After Time
Jan 29, 2010
JORG GRAY ADDS RETAILERS TIME AFTER TIME
The Watch Brand Worn By President Obama Opens More Than 35 New Retailers Around The World In The Fourth Quarter
TUSTIN, Calif. – January 29, 2010 – Jorg Gray, an American watch brand designed to change the way we view time, today announced the brand’s increased availability at fine watch retailers around the world. Following the company’s recent United Kingdom launch, Jorg Gray now offers its 23 different lines at retailers across the United States and U.K. as well as Japan, the Netherlands, Philippines and Caribbean with more than 35 retail partnerships created in Q4 alone.
Combining striking styles with traditional precision and attention to detail, Jorg Gray timepieces are designed for today’s modern man and woman. The line boasts more than 120 watches to fit every occasion and personality. With a wide range of models priced between $200 to $500, tailored marketing programs for retailers, and a passion for both retailer and customer service, Jorg Gray has quickly established a reputation as the brand to watch in 2010.
“We do things differently at Jorg Gray and a big part of that is fully supporting our retailers through custom in-store displays, extensive after sales service and personalized marketing programs,” said Mark Gurdus, Vice President of Sales. “Our team takes this commitment very seriously and it shows with the number of doors we’ve opened, from Monterey to Miami, even during a difficult market.”
First available in early 2009, and formally launched at JCK Las Vegas in June, Jorg Gray became a worldwide brand best known for the Jorg Gray 6500, recognized by aficionados as the watch President Barack Obama wore at his inauguration - a timepiece of history. Following the 6500’s success the company released an extended line of timepieces to meet growing demand. The watches are carefully crafted with scratch resistant mineral crystal, fine Italian leather straps and a variety of casings.
“The Jorg Gray line is a great value for the level of quality and price – something which is important to consumers and retailers alike, especially now,” said Adam Gindi, owner of Diamonds & Dials in New York City. “The Obama factor is an added bonus and has attracted a lot of attention – the 6500 is by far one of our best-selling timepieces and clearly drives traffic into the store.”
The brand is set to further expand in 2010 with deals already lined up with such retailers as Harrods and Selfridges Department Stores in the U.K. as well as distribution plans for Canada. For more information about becoming an authorized dealer for Jorg Gray timepieces, please call 1-877-547-4438.

Company Expands Internationally and Appoints Industry Veteran as Director of UK Sales
TUSTIN, Calif. – December 2, 2009 – Jorg Gray, an American watch brand designed to change the way we view time, today announced its official retail launch in the United Kingdom headed by industry veteran, Tony Sulkey. Following high demand, the brand will offer its 23 collections at more than ten fine jewellery retailers throughout the U.K. and Ireland with price points between £185 and £325.
As the brand worn by President Barack Obama, Jorg Gray has drawn international attention for its remarkable design, high quality and affordable collection of timepieces. The watches are meticulously crafted with scratch resistant mineral crystal, fine Italian leather straps and a variety of stainless steel, rose gold and bronze casings.
Tony Sulkey joins the company as Director of U.K. Sales with more than 16 years of sales and marketing experience in the watch and jewellery industry. He is responsible for all sales aspects in the U.K. including leading a sales team spanning across England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland. With a stronghold in the U.S. watch market and a dedicated U.K. team, the brand is poised to grow its U.K. presence in 2010 with the Jorg Gray line in several high-profile retail chains, and Harrods and Selfridges Department Stores lined up for distribution in the first quarter.
“We’ve seen a huge demand around the world for Jorg Gray timepieces, particularly from the United Kingdom, and are proud to now offer the line directly,” said Trevor Gnesin, president of Jorg Gray. “With a combination of key retail partners in the U.K. and Tony’s expertise, we’re expecting an outstanding future for the brand next year and beyond.”
Jorg Gray evolved from a specialty private-label company to a worldwide brand after President Obama received the Jorg Gray 6500 Chronograph for his 46th birthday in 2007. The watch grew in popularity, as the President wore the timepiece at such historic events as his inauguration, the signing of his first presidential proclamation and the G-20 Summit, spurring Jorg Gray to create a Commemorative Edition 6500 available to the public. Committed to combining bold design with traditional precision and attention to detail, the company launched its full line of watches at JCK Las Vegas in June 2009.
“The unique story behind Jorg Gray appeals to both consumers and retailers, with quality and price also being a big draw,” said Colin Scamp, owner of Peter Stephan Jewellers. “Each week for the past several months we’ve had customers inquire about the watch Obama wears. We look forward to being one of the first retailers in the country to carry the line and expect it to do very well.”
Other retailers include Jura Watches in London, Cunningham Jewelers in Lancaster, Carl Christopher Jewellers in St Helens and Glossop and Weirs Jewelers in Dublin. To inquire about a complete list of retailers or more information on becoming an authorized stockist for Jorg Gray timepieces in the U.K. or Ireland, please email tsulkey@jorggray.com or call +44 (0) 207 7979 7729.
