Sekonda Watches

Sekonda was founded in 1931, now it is part of Time Products (U.K). It remains the same privately owned business that it started as, but has evolved to cater to 6.5% of the British watch market (GFK data 2006). With a market share like that it is no surprise that Sekonda is presently the U.K.'s best selling watch brand. More amazing is the fact that it has remained the U.K.'s favorite watch brand since 1988 and in 2006 became the best seller by both volume and value.

Showing that it is firmly established in its position at the top of this industry. The reasons for their success are many and perhaps can be best summed up by their own slogan "beware of expensive imitations."

Tissot Ambassador Michael Owen signs new deal

Le Locle, July 6, 2009: Michael Owen has completed his move to Manchester United after the free agent signed a two-year deal with the Premier League champions.

The 29-year-old ex-Liverpool and Real Madrid striker's contract with Newcastle ended on June 30th and one of the summer's biggest transfer riddles was solved as Owen completed a move to the Premier League and World Club Champions. The 2001 European footballer of the year has not been called up to the England squad in recent times, but a move to United gives Owen the chance to revitalise his international career, just months before the 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa.

Michael Owen said: "This is a fantastic opportunity for me and I intend to seize it with both hands. I am now looking forward to being a Manchester United player and I am fortunate that I already know so many of the players here. I missed pre-season last year and am pleased that I will be starting here from day one.

"At Tissot we are very proud of our extraordinary ambassador and the partnership that we have had for more than 10 years. We would like to congratulate Michael to this excellent opportunity to play with this world-famous club. Michael Owen fits perfectly with the brand's values and we believe that he is a real asset to our brand and an example to many young people around the world, and long may that continue to be the case." said Tissot President, François Thiébaud.

Michael Owen will wear the number 7 shirt at Manchester United next season, one of the most revered shirts in football, having previously been worn by greats such as George Best, Eric Cantona, David Beckham and, most recently Christiano Ronaldo.

Sports partnerships have always been an integral part of Tissot's DNA and it has been involved in timing world class sporting events for decades. Partnering with active athletes like Michael Owen also underlines the dynamic nature of the brand. Michael Owen is a consistent role model for football lovers around the world. He personifies the Tissot values of performance, innovation and excellence and his 2009 Limited Edition watch celebrates more than a decade of proud ambassadorship in fitting style.
