William Rohr, who is also a Watch Consultant for the British auction house Bonhams, has joined Digital Luxury Group, the first international company dedicated exclusively to the design and implementation of digital strategies for luxury brands, as a new Non-Executive Partner.
David Sadigh, Founder and CEO of Digital Luxury Group (DLG) says, “William is one of the most knowledgeable people in the watch industry. As a contributor to DLG’s WorldWatchReport™ the last two years, he brought an international perspective and rare insights which have been highly appreciated by our clients.”
As new Non-Executive Partner, Mr. Rohr will act as an Advisor to DLG’s Management Team while also contributing to the World Luxury Index™, a trusted and international standard to measure the evolution of the luxury goods market.
“I am delighted to be joining DLG,” says Mr. Rohr. “Their WorldWatchReport™ is the absolute reference of the watch industry, and they are on their way to achieve the same with their World Luxury Index™. I was impressed to see that beyond watchmakers like Patek Philippe or Piaget, Digital Luxury Group was also advising brands like Four Seasons and Trussardi especially in highly strategic markets like China.”
