From the administrators' statement
The Company was incorporated on 29 July 2015 for the purpose of acquiring the business and assets of UW2015 Limited (previously Uniform Wares Limited) from its Administrators, Duff & Phelps.
The “Uniform Wares” brand was launched in December 2009 and operated as a designer and retailer of premium quartz timepieces. All watches were designed and developed in-house with parts being sourced from carefully selected suppliers, with final manufacture taking place in Switzerland. Following acquisition of the Uniform Wares brand, the Company continued these operations from leasehold premises in London.
Products were sold on both a wholesale and retail basis, throughout the United States of America, Asia, United Kingdom and Europe, with sales being generated through e-platforms such as Amazon, Farfetch, ASOS, Mr Porter, End and Essence.
