Jamie Thomson: Copywriter to the Watch Industry. Providing Product Descriptions, Brochures, and Content Marketing
I specialise in writing for watch companies and retailers. I work with established luxury brands and start-up businesses, providing valuable copywriting that engages readers and improves conversions.
What Makes Good Luxury Watch Copywriting?
‘I think copywriting for the watch industry is about the experience almost more than it is about the timepeice. When people are spending a lot of money on a particular product, they want to be taken on a journey and I think copywriting forms part of that journey as well. Quite often, you find that luxury brands write their copy in a high register and they use a lot of big words, but this actually has the opposite effect.’

Copywriting for the Luxury Watch Market
I specialise in writing for the watch industry. I’ve worked with established brands and start-up companies. When it comes to selling luxury products, such as watches and jewellery, it’s less about the features (although they’re undoubtedly important), and more about selling an experience, or a lifestyle.
''Exactly What We Needed''
‘I was looking for a luxury watch copywriter that would be able to create product descriptions and a company story for my new watch brand. I needed someone who could create not dull and boring pieces of content but descriptions that sell the product and are fun to read. After seeing a few samples sent by Jamie, I decided that he would be the best person for the job and I never regretted it. The copy produced by Brand New Copy needed no tweaking or adjusting. It was exactly what I was looking for. I’m glad that we’ve met and we will definitely work on more projects for my brand in the future.’
Tomasz Mickiewicz, Marc Brüg watches
''Produced Some Great Copy''
‘We briefed out a number of watch copywriters to improve our website copy. We chose Jamie based on his previous experiences and professional response to the brief. Jamie kept to deadlines and produced some great copy and rationale which is now helping to convert customers on our website. We look forward to working with Jamie again in the future.’
