Visetti Winter Gifts at Damas Boutiques

THIS GREEK HOUR AND JEWELERY BRAND ALL YEAR BACK WAS FIRST PRESENTED IN THE UAE. TO PRESENT THE NEW YEAR 2012 COLLECTION, THE VISETTI CHIEF EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR LEONIDAS VONTITSOS ARRIVED IN DUBAI. WE SPEAKED WITH LEONIDAS ABOUT FORECASTS AND EXPECTATIONS FOR THE NEXT YEAR.

Please tell me, how long have you started cooperation with Damas?

We decided to present our watches in Damas branded stores in 2010 to see how Vinsetti products will be sold locally. After the first year of work, we noted good sales volumes, and it is especially joyful that our watches are purchased not only by those people who constantly live in the UAE, but also by numerous tourists from around the world. Therefore, we decided to expand the number of our departments in Damas stores in the UAE and the region so that people have a better idea of ​​our products. Since 2012, we plan to start a large-scale advertising and marketing company.

What are the competitive advantages of Visetti in this market?

In addition to affordable prices - from one to 2.5 thousand dirhams, we are rightly proud of the exceptional quality of all our products, original materials, and unique designs.

Initially, we were engaged only in the manufacture of jewelry, but once our regular customers asked us to release a watch. And we thought, they say, why not? Now we have a circle of regular customers for our watches, which can be changed depending on the time of year or mood, since I would call our prices more than acceptable. This, in my opinion, is becoming a trend today, since not all people are able to invest in expensive, well-known watches, and everyone wants to wear a beautiful accessory on their wrist.

What is most important for you when working on new watch collections?

We invest a lot of money in the development of interesting designs, high-quality materials and production. Base things are of no interest to anyone today.

Are only male models presented in Visetti collections, or do you also produce female lines?

In the modern world, everything is mixed up - men wear watches with diamonds, women choose powerful men's sports watches with rubber straps. We try to take into account the tastes of both of them. But I would still classify our main collection as male or unisex, although we also have purely feminine, very elegant watches.

For example, in our new winter collection 2012, we presented models with quartz movements with chronographs, the bezels of which are decorated with crystals. These are men's rulers. Vintage and Cronus, and women - Shine and Stardom. In them we combined materials such as steel, silver, carbon fiber and genuine leather. It seems to me that new items will be able to attract the attention of those buyers who like to wear extraordinary things.

What models would you recommend to pay attention to first of all, choosing gifts for loved ones?

Fair? For everything, without exception! Among female models, it can be a Shine watch with gilt in yellow or pink gold. This is a modern trend.

Of the men, Chrono with a quartz chronograph. As for the design, then I would suggest that customers focus on their own preferences.

Thank you, Leonidas. We hope to see your jewelry soon in the windows of Damas stores.

Ok, we’ll think about it. See you soon.
