Best Practices

• •Develop a "Brand Voice Chart": Clearly define the brand's personality traits (e.g., Expert, Passionate, Approachable), key messages, "do's and don'ts" for language, and specific vocabulary related to luxury watches. This ensures everyone writing copy is aligned.
• •Prioritize Transparency and Honesty: Given the recent negative press, it's crucial to be factual and avoid making claims that can be easily refuted. If addressing issues, do so directly and clearly (though this is a PR decision beyond just copywriting). In product descriptions, be meticulous about details and condition.
• •Show, Don't Just Tell Expertise: Instead of simply saying "we are experts," demonstrate it through content. Share detailed insights, historical context of watches, explanations of complications, and market analysis, much like they do on their YouTube channel.
• •Maintain Enthusiasm Across Platforms: The passion evident in their YouTube videos should translate into written copy. Use engaging language, express genuine appreciation for craftsmanship and horological art, and make customers feel they are joining a community of enthusiasts.
• •Consistent Terminology and Professionalism: Always use correct horological terms. Ensure all copy is grammatically perfect and professionally presented, reflecting the high-value nature of the products, even when aiming for an approachable tone. This is especially important for the website and official communications.

Social Perception

Generally seen by their direct customers as a highly reputable, friendly, and expert dealer of luxury watches, offering good service and fair prices. Recognized for their active and popular YouTube channel. However, recent serious allegations of money laundering and tax evasion involving the founders are highly likely to negatively impact the brand's public perception.
