The concept incorporates rich finishes, creating unique environments and a sensory experience with impressive visuals, aromas, flavors and textures that will delight its customers. The store integrates a design with state-of-the-art technology and lighting and the highest quality materials that reflect the essence of each of the brands that it showcases.
This opening is the latest expansion in the collaboration between Victorinox and Motta, which has been instrumental in driving the brand’s growth and building its multi-category credentials in South America. Their joint footprint now sits at 12 points-of-sale across airports in Panama, Colombia, El Salvador and Ecuador, with a strong focus on watches and travel gear in particular.
The partnership has been strengthened through a number of joint pan-regional marketing initiatives aimed at driving recovery and growth in the watches category. Most recently, a campaign focused on building buzz and awareness around the I.N.O.X range, leveraging Motta’s online and physical presence across five airports – Panama, Bogota, Quito, El Salvador and Nicaragua.
