When did Watches of Switzerland buy Mappin Webb?
1 Answer
The answer to the question of when did Watches of Switzerland buy Mappin
Webb may be a bit surprising, as it's a misconception that the latter company purchased the former. By the 1990s, the company Asprey owned both Mappin
Webb and Watches of Switzerland. In 1998, Judith Pilkington arranged for the sale of both Mappin
Webb and Watches of Switzerland, starting a new organization. Subsequently, the two brands went through a series of owners, including the Baugur Group, Landsbanki and Apollo Global Management. On 1stDibs, find a large collection of watches.
