Sekonda

🎄Merry Christmas🎄 Last week Sekonda hosted a Christmas in June press event to showcase our exciting new collections for Autumn/Winter 24 ⌚. With incredible views of London and clear blue skies ☀, we created a festive spectacular complete with a Christmas tree, unwrapped pressies, and a stunning Christmas table. Highlights included: ⭐ Sekonda brand ambassador Monica Marriott-Mills wowed everyone with the range of Monica watches available. ✏ A brilliant opportunity to chat with journalists and share our incredible range of watches with them - it's fair to say they were impressed and we can't wait to see the coverage as it appears in the coming months, thanks to all of you for coming along. 🥂 The festive nibbles and drinks - what's not to love? 👜 The goody bags - beautiful watches to take home and enjoy wearing. We know it's early to start the Christmas shopping list but who would you gift a watch to and why? #prevent #watches #christmas #event Janet Gough Mia Farrar-Akram Chloe Grantham Phoebe Carnall-Ruppel
