Explore the Watch Brand: Accurist


Asher Loftus and his wife Rebecca founded Accurist watches in 1947 at Clerkenwell, London. At that time, the couple felt that there was a gap in the UK watch market for a brand that combined Swiss made quality parts with distinctive style and more important at competitive prices. So Accurist focused on good quality watches at lower prices and providing longer guarantees. In 1983, company moved towards Japan for manufacturing to integrate Japanese technology and that strategic move increased the sales by 500%. The company became the largest brand of UK in 1993 and started international market expansion. The Accurist Watch Business sold to Times Products UK in current year 2014. Times Products also owns other brands like Sekonda, Seksy and Limit Watches.
