Brand Testimonials

 For us and our customers, owning a DeWitt watch means entering a world of dignity, tradition, and beauty. We have long prided ourselves on creating beautiful masterpieces that satisfy every wit and whim of our elite clientele. Yet the challenges that come from sparing no detail in achieving the highest of horology include the spare components once a DeWitt timepiece is completed. This is where our relationship with The Solist has become a valuable part of our business as we continue to explore our environmental impact. Through The Solist, we are able to ensure fewer unused components at the end of every production season. Once our primary clientele orders have been satisfied, we then deliver to The Solist customers exceptional DeWitt timepieces that allow us to advance our ingenuity in watchmaking while focusing on zero waste. Sustainability in watchmaking isn’t impossible — you must only have the right partner to achieve it. For us, The Solist has been that partner.

 When we were introduced to the concept of The Solist, we realized this was a company able to represent the Nancy Gonzalez name while maintaining our luxury and exclusivity status. In working with The Solist, we’ve seen how dedicated they are to ensuring their customers understand that although their prices are below established retail prices, this in no way reflects the luxury image of our name. They continue to deliver on this message with aggressive public relations activities that have shown us how much they value our business. We look forward to a long relationship with The Solist, a company that truly believes in partnership, transparency, and delivering value for all who do business with them.

It’s refreshing to work with a company that embodies the concept of partnership throughout every interaction. The Solist is such a company, standing behind their promises and commitments to us without exception. While we began working with The Solist to find an avenue for our available resting Konstantino inventory, we’re now seeing how The Solist can be much more for us as a company. Sustainability, of course, is an important issue, where The Solist makes it possible for us to re-submit previous collections back into the retail cycle. Also notable is the opportunity for us to experiment creatively with our designs, knowing that our relationship with The Solist assures there will always be customers for our pieces regardless of when they are introduced. We’re excited to be working with such a progressive company whose business model is exposing Konstantino to new customers that understand visionary design is timeless.

Luminox has been at the forefront of sustainability for almost 50 years. In this direction, our relationship with The Solist is incredibly valuable. We started the watch recycling as a pilot program, but we really wanted to push on a reliable impact reduction in the environment. The Solist offers the next best thing to destroying or dismantling excess inventory. The company is a resource for us to advance our focus on sustainability as we recycle our past season’s merchandise through the platform, giving our prior inventory new life and a new audience. The Solist is a great partner for any company that understands the importance of offsetting their environmental footprint.

For the watch industry, it is always imperative that you choose your partners carefully. You want a partner that not only understands the importance of your reputation but also is committed to honoring all aspects of your agreement without deviation. When we were introduced to The Solist –with its growing endorsements from other well-respected brands –we realized we had found such a partner, especially now in an age where destroying excess inventory to safeguard the brand can no longer be an option. As HYT continues to pursue invention and excellence in horology, The Solist has introduced us to a new, enthusiastic clientele who appreciates innovation, no matter its origin. We are pleased to be working with a revolutionary platform such as The Solist that understands true haute horlogerie is timeless

Davide Cerrato, CEO. HYT

As lifelong masters and leaders of the Italian jewelry industry, we pride ourselves on creating timeless jewelry that will last generation after generation. Our collections are not of the moment but of every moment, to be worn throughout a lifetime from age twenty to ninety. This is how we create – for eternity. And it is in this philosophy where we find symmetry with The Solist, a company that focuses on reintroducing collections first produced one or more years ago to an audience that savors Zydo in the same manner one savors fine wine. Our partnership with The Solist has grown the number of distinguished women who understand beauty has no age and thus embrace Zydo into their lifestyle.

Jack Zybert, CEO. Zydo Jewelry

Our partnership with The Solist over the last year has proven successful on two fronts that are imperative to our company’s values: it aids in our mission to maximize sustainability and minimize waste, while introducing our product to consumers who may not be able to afford luxury goods at luxury price points.

 The Solist’s transparency and dedication to upholding the integrity of Philip Stein’s brand reputation has created a trusted ally for us to safely, responsibly, and sustainably introduce our past season’s inventory to an audience that may have missed the items upon first launch. The Solist has allowed us to effectively control our inventory as we recognize the future of sustainable retail aligns with the company’s vision for keeping aged collections still relevant in the eyes of consumers.
