Testimonials

When I took your course over a year ago, it broadened my perspective on traditional distribution and some of the peculiarities of different global markets, but more than anything, it made me really think about this at what the future of distribution looked like, the future of the global watch industry and the forward-looking initiatives that deserve to be pursued in the future. It really marked a big turning point in my career, and I would recommend it to anyone in the future who would rather lead the trend rather than continue it. Didn't Bennahmias say, "To break the rules, you must first master them"? Watch Trade Academy is a good place to start.
