Ice-Watch buys PATTON Watches

Ice-Watch buys PATTON Watches

General Patton, one of the iconic figures of the Second World War, made his way from Normandy to Bastogne, the present-day home of Ice-Watch’s head office. For local man Jean-Pierre Lutgen this was a key part of history, and the name and story of General Patton were regular features of his own childhood. “I’ve always had the utmost respect for General Patton, a brave and courageous liberator who was always prepared to stand up to the greatest of challenges,” he explains. “He was a war hero who formed an integral part of my childhood and the stories told within my family. To me, he is a prime example of greatness.”

Ice-Watch buys PATTON Watches | Ice-Watch Derby Merchant's Jewellers

From left to right: Jean-Louis Le Bec, Helen Patton & Jean-Pierre Lutgen

Jean-Louis Le Bec, the son and grandson of watch-makers and founder of the brand, explains in his own words: “I called my brand PATTON because I was born in Bayeux, the first town to be liberated following the D-Day landings on 6 June 1945. I spent my childhood in Arromanche and on the Normandy landing beaches. In my view, the name PATTON is synonymous with strength and courage – the exact same values that you need to launch a truly challenging watch.” PATTON has a unique history, closely intertwined with that of the Second World War and the memory of General Patton. It is a reference that symbolises its ambition to be a strong and courageous brand, values that inform everything it does, right down to the intricate details of each and every watch.

Shared values: design, quality and accessibility 
PATTON Watches was founded in 2009. Its products are “Swiss Made” certifi ed and boast a strong identity and resolutely on-trend design. They are conceived and designed in the same spirit as Ice-Watch watches, with a variety of different colour and material combinations available. PATTON watches are highly robust and literally stand the test of the elements and time, as demonstrated by the various challenges listed on the brand’s website. PATTON watches are able to stand up to any challenge, from deep beneath the waves to up in the air in a plane or parachute, as well as behind the wheel of a racing car or on a transoceanic regatta vessel.

They are deliberately designed to withstand tough challenges, and each and every watch undergoes rigorous testing to prove its robustness. This quality is embodied in the brand’s fl agship model, the P42 HYPERBARE. Its movement and all internal parts remain permanently immersed in a liquid created using a special process. It is a highly complex technique that enables the watch to withstand extreme depths. To demonstrate its robustness, a P42 HYPERBARE has been submerged in the depths of the Indian Ocean for more than fi ve years. It still tells the correct time to this day, with no variation caused by the extreme conditions. The watch has also been tested at a depth of 1,000 metres by the French Research Institute for Exploitation of the Sea (IFREMER), where it withstood pressures exceeding one tonne.

Jean-Louis Le Bec, as the founder of a brand with a strong identity, will now be able to draw on the experience of a recognised Belgian entrepreneur and the global reach of his company. This, in turn, will enable him to continue growing PATTON, a brand that offers luxury products at an affordable price (€750 to €1,790). PATTON will retain its own identity, with a dedicated website and Facebook page. It is an identity that fi ts perfectly with the long-standing values of its new owner and its famous Ice-Watch product.

Ice-Watch Vs Swatch: Behind the Scenes!

Ever wondered what is going on between Ice-Watch and Swatch behind the scenes? Take a read of the following article and you will be much the wiser... 

"For your amusement and probable bemusement, I’m going to regale you with a tale akin to that of David and Goliath, a tale of woe, malice and such unsportsmanlike behaviour that, if the staunchest fans had known, Goliath may well have been banished from the hallowed playing fields of BaselWorld. So, if you’re sitting comfortably and have your slingshot and stone at the ready, I’ll begin.

Once upon a time, 2006 actually, Jean-Pierre Lutgen, a Belgian entrepreneur, founded Ice-Watch with the aim of marketing a stylish fashion watch that would be colourful and affordable. The concept has been so successful that in a mere six years, the eye-catching collections have sold around 10 million watches in 110 countries via more than 12,000 sales outlets.

Ice Watch Derby Tram Merchants Jewellers

Ice-Watch had sold tens of thousands of watches prior to its first outing at BaselWorld in 2009, then that year’s sales figures increased dramatically to a few hundred thousand watches. The following year saw the numbers climb into the stratosphere: 2010 – 1.6 million watches; 2011 – 3.7 million; 2012 - 4.3 million and that in spite of around 5 million fakes being produced and shipped from China to markets such as the Middle East, Asia, Africa and Latin America where the Ice-Watch trademark cannot be registered because of legal objections made by the Swatch Group. You need a law degree to understand the objections, but here, as I understand it, is the sequence of events that led up to them: in December 2006, the ‘icewatch’ trademark was applied for within the EU; in August 2007 Swatch introduced an opposition procedure; in November 2007 the Swatch Group made an application for iSwatch in Switzerland (say it out loud and you’ll understand the problem); in May 2008 the two brands signed a coexistence agreement whereby Ice-Watch had to separate the Ice and Watch by a bar between the two words and had to include a logo; March 2009 Ice-Watch participated at BaselWorld for the first time; in June 2009, Swatch sent a letter to terminate the coexistence agreement; starting in January 2010 Swatch started to file oppositions against various trademark applications worldwide and there are now 80 administrative proceedings pending.

Ice Watch Derby Jean Pierre Lutgen Merchants Jewellers
Ice Watch Derby Model Merchants Jewellers

Oppositions have already been rejected in courts in various countries, nevertheless Swatch continued to file legal actions against Ice-Watch and its distributors invoking trademark violations and ‘unfair competition’ – I like that one especially. In July 2010, in order to validate the coexistence agreement that had been signed between the two companies, Ice-Watch filed a legal action against Swatch in Bern (as agreed in the coexistence agreement in case of a dispute). On April 28, 2011, the court rendered a decision in favour of Ice-Watch. In many countries and China in particular, trademark registration cannot be given if there are legal issues pending, consequently Chinese companies are manufacturing fake Ice-Watches and selling them to unscrupulous retailers and online outlets around the world. Despite the efforts of Ice-Watch and the seizure and destruction of 130,278 fake watches in 2012, very little can be done while the Swatch Group continues to cry ‘unfair competition’, all of which means the all-powerful Group are ensuring that millions of fake 50 – 99 euro watches effectively take business away from both their own products and those of Ice-Watch.

To add insult to injury, at this year’s BaselWorld Ice-Watch appeared to have been exiled to a corner of Hall 2 that was so far from the watch brands in Hall 1 that Ice-Watch took the unprecedented step of sending out a pretty blonde scout to try and guide lost and distraught visitors to their booth. The Basel public transport authorities on the other hand, didn’t take sides and allowed Ice-Watch to promote its colourful watches on the trams. "
