    Watchbox was such an established brand and 1916 sounds like the company is looking backwards not forwards. Doesn’t really make sense tbh

    1916? Great memories of ... The Battle of the Somme 😳

    New name is opaque and inaccessible ... at least WatchBox was somewhat relatable

    Might be a dumb question but why 1916? What’s the significance of that year?

      Govberg Jewelers was founded in 1916.

    Well at least we got an explanation on what 1916 refers to

    Apparently 1915 and 1917 were taken then..

    Pay a million ad agencies a $1m each and you still won’t find a better name than WatchBox.

      WatchBox was excellent.

      If companies merge the resulting company gets a new name, it's a takeover otherwise (which has financial and legal consequences).

    You might want to actually, you know, explain why you are changing the name and what the meaning behind the name is, etc.

    I don’t understand why one would give up the watchbox trademark. It’s catchy

    For those wondering about the significance of the year and why they chose 1916: March 8-9 - Mexican Revolution: Pancho Villa leads about 500 Mexican raiders in an attack against Columbus, New Mexico, killing 12 U.S. soldiers. A garrison of the U.S. 13th Cavalry Regiment fights back and drives them away.

    @KeepingWatchUK Місяць тому +2

    It’s not just a re-naming of Watchbox btw, but the name given to the merging of WatchBox, Govberg, Radcliffe, and Hyde Park as a single entity. Why 1916 was chosen though!? 💩🤷🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

    Maybe they could get good money for the old name, kicked somebody out who owned the name or they thought the watchbox was to much reference to what a television used to be?

    I agree, pls share the significance of the year 1916, but on another note, given a name change was going to happen, you have eased us slowly and gently into the rebranding which I appreciate:) we've seen much worse

    Love the content, but the new name is stupid and unnecessary, unless something internal happened we're not privy to.

    The new branding doesn't work. It's not relatable and makes no intuitive sense relative to the value proposition or product.
