RAPAPORT... Jewelers of America (JA) has named Rolex Watch USA CEO
Stewart Wicht as the recipient of its 2019 GEM Award for Lifetime Achievement.
The GEM Awards honor the outstanding achievements of
individuals or companies whose work raises the visibility and status of fine
jewelry and watches.
“A bigger-than-life personality and an astute businessman,
Stewart significantly elevated Rolex’s partnership with its dealers, thus
allowing the entire industry to benefit from this development,” GEM Awards chair
Olivier Stip of Chanel said last week. “Very generous with his time, Stewart
supports several trade organizations, making him an undisputed leader in the
watchmaking world.”
Wicht has been with Rolex since 1975, and has been CEO of
its USA division since 2011. He will retire from the timepiece maker in
December, but will remain on its board of directors.
