Bennetti Watches Nominated for a London International Award in the Best in Product Design Category

The London International Awards (LIA) are a global award competition that celebrates creative excellence in all forms of media. These awards have evolved over the years to truly reflect the ever-evolving and changing media industry, and it has grown from honouring television, cinema, print and radio to now embracing the full landscape of 22 unique media types.

Although the MAKO team gets excited about earning any sort of business or design award, we get particularly excited about competitions like this one!

The Bennetti Watch.

How Our Product Design Studio Created an Award-Worthy Timepiece

MAKO-Designed Product for Client Bennetti Watches Nominated for an LIA

This year, one of our clients, Bennetti Watches, is nominated in the Best in Product Design category of the LIAs. This category celebrates innovations in product design and Bennetti places itself above its competition with their watches made with fine sapphire crystal glass, personalized engraving, and an exceptional attention to detail thanks to the world-class team at our product design studio in Toronto. 

What sets Bennetti apart is the genuine leather bands they use, the butterfly bucket, and how versatile the design is that it can be worn from a 9-5 job to post-work drinks to a late-night workout. The watch is sophisticated, water-resistant, features 17-jewels throughout the front display and is truly a design that we’ve never seen before in our product design studio.

The judging of the LIAs

The judging for the LIAs will take place in Las Vegas from September 28th to October 6th, and winners will be announced on November 5th 2018. The judges are of different backgrounds and carry different experiences for each category including top agencies from around the world.

Supporting Bennetti in their product design journey

Bennetti Watches is currently running a Kickstarter campaign to raise $30,000 to move them to the next stage of manufacturing. With your pledges, you’ll help the company reach their production goals and help get an innovative and beautiful product into the marketplace sooner.

MAKO is super excited to have one of our clients of our product design studio nominated for such a prestigious award. We’re excited to see the results of the LIAs and can’t wait to continue to see the success of Bennetti.
