When most people think about the suppliers within the luxury watch industry, they get the impression that the major players in the space have been around for decades, and have a pedigree that has spanned generations. Bradley Drake, an entrepreneur from the United Kingdom, had a much different idea in mind.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

He\u2019s the founder of Lux Watch Supply, a company that\u2019s been able to give away nearly $4,000,000 in luxury watches to everyday consumers by way of a raffle system. On the idea of starting this business, Bradley says, \u201cI had a hard time selling an apartment of mine, so I had the idea of raffling it off. There were a few companies that had the idea of raffling off expensive items, but none of them had really taken off. But, I liked the concept, and the idea of \u2018giving away\u2019 high-end watches for a relatively small entry price was staring me in the face.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

The business model is surprisingly simple once Bradley broke it down to us: he allows consumers to buy tickets for around $77 USD each, and if you\u2019re lucky, you may just be the owner of an iconic Rolex, Audemars Piguet, or Patek Philippe. Once the raffle sells out, a winner is selected live on Facebook and Instagram. The simplicity and authenticity of the company paired with the iconic status of the watches given away have made the company a smashing success.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Not only is the idea brilliant, but so is Bradley\u2019s execution. He says, \u201cWith our first few dozen winners, I really made an effort to hand-deliver them to the winners. It put a face to the brand, but it also instilled confidence in our customer base. People wonder what the catch is with this business, but there truly isn\u2019t one.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

With how quickly the company has taken off, Bradley has taken a great initiative to give back to the community. <\/span>Lux Supply has partnered with Ecologi, planting 1 tree for every ticket sold. The plan is to plant at least 100,000 trees this year.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

As for what\u2019s next, Bradley has major plans. He says, \u201cWe want to blow out Lux Supply Group. Our first raffle is now live, and it\u2019s a beautiful Tesla Model 3 Performance. I think there are many angles for this business model, and I know I\u2019m only just getting started.\u201d Based on Bradley\u2019s current track record, it\u2019s not hard to believe him.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
