Watches of Switzerland Group and Zillion team up on embedded insurance offering to clients at Point of Sale

Watches of Switzerland Group has partnered with embedded insurance provider Zillion.

Its clients can now get instant coverage for their watch and jewellery purchases on mobile, and without applications, appraisals or app downloads.

“Exceptional client experiences are at the heart of everything we do,” says Lorcan McCabe, Regional Director at Watches of Switzerland.

“Zillion’s innovative product and white glove service aligns with our commitment to providing best in class services to our clients. It also complements how we strive to go above and beyond, even before our client walks through the door of one of our showrooms.”

“Uniquely differentiated, Watches of Switzerland is the gold standard for client experience,” says Adam Black, Zillion’s Managing Director.

“We are dedicated to the highest service standards while providing an immediate benefit at Point of Sale. This combination marries well with Watches of Switzerland’s focus on delight, and we are humbled to be partnered with a company that cares so deeply about its clients.”

2024 RTIH INNOVATION AWARDS

PoS solutions were a key focus area for the sixth edition of the RTIH Innovation Awards, which are now closed for entries.

The awards, sponsored by Vista Technology Support, Scala, CADS, 3D Cloud, Brightpearl by Sage’s Lightning 50, Business France, and Retail Technology Show 2025, celebrate global tech innovation in a fast moving omnichannel world.

Our 2024 hall of fame entrants were revealed during an event which took place at RIBA’s 66 Portland Place HQ in Central London on 21st November, and consisted of a drinks reception, three course meal, and awards ceremony presided over by comedian Lucy Porter.

In his welcome speech, Scott Thompson, Founder and Editor, RTIH, said: “The event is now into its sixth year and what a journey it has been. The awards started life as an online only affair during the Covid outbreak, before launching as a small scale in real life event and growing year on year to the point where we’re now selling out this fine, historic venue.”

He added: “Congratulations to all of our finalists. Many submissions did not make it through to the final stage, and getting to this point is no mean feat. Checkout-free stores, automated supply chains, immersive experiences, on-demand delivery, next generation loyalty offerings, inclusive retail, green technology. We’ve got all the cool stuff covered this evening.”

“But just importantly we’ve got lots of great examples of companies taking innovative tech and making it usable in everyday operations - resulting in more efficiency and profitability in all areas.”

Congratulations to our 2024 winners, and a big thank you to our sponsors, judging panel, the legend that is Lucy Porter, and all those who attended last month’s gathering.
