Company Profile:

Nouvo Luxury Group

Game Creative Partnership Leads Industry Change

by Rob Shaw

IN EARLY 2016, mutual friends Aren Arkarakas, Steve Turac and Saro Keciyolu decided it was time to take the next step in the Canadian jewellery industry. All three partners had already established their own sales agencies, distributing jewellery and watch brands from around the world, but according to them, “When meeting and speaking about ideas we had, we realized very quickly we all had the same goals—to introduce new products and new ways of doing business in our aging industry.” From their discussions, the partners recognized an opportunity to work together and launched their united partnership Nouvo Luxury Group.

The partners credit their passion for the jewellery business for inspiring their goal to collectively lead change in their trade, which to them appeared to lag behind in the way the world is now conducting business. They had all entered the jewellery industry at a young age, and through effort and some time built long-lasting successful partnerships with retailers. Being younger, many retailers looked to the partners for something different--to bring them the hottest trends.

From the beginning, brand education and training were important considerations for Nouvo and although they serve all their retailers with the same philosophy, they address individual needs for each store. All business activities from sales, to customer service, to marketing are conducted by staff who share the same passion and experience in jewellery as the founders.

According to Aren Arkarakas, “My inspiration came from watching my parents build a jewellery wholesale company. They inspired me by the dedication and commitment they put into their business and the passion they had for it, to follow your dream, put the time in and never take no for an answer.”

Steve Turac noted that his experience in corporate sales with C-level executives taught him, “When you are responsible for a portfolio of luxury brands, its not a responsibility to take lightly and this gives me the drive and discipline needed to bring a level of profitability to our brands and retailers.”

2018-01-03 2:09 PM

Saro Keciyolu draws his inspiration from the end consumer. “The realization that I am able to bring joy, sentimentality and satisfaction to people from all walks of life from around the world is a humbling and amazing feeling. This is what keeps me going every day and inspires me to do better.”

The company tries to determine niche products and styles that will spark the interest of people getting engaged, married, retiring, or celebrating birthdays and those special moments in life. Keciyolu says, “It is a magical feeling when executed properly and that fuels my desire to be at the top of my game in this industry.”

The partners believe that all business is going through change, but knowing how to build a luxury product business during disruptive times by combining hard work, and capitalizing on opportunities will be their driving force. They expect to learn from observing other industries and will bring necessary 21st-century changes to the jewellery industry to best support the brands they represent.

As of March 2017, Nouvo became a distributor for Thomas Sabo, one of the largest lifestyle accessory brands in Europe, established in the early 1980’s.

Marketing for the brand was driven by education and adapting a European business to a North American model. The company has increased Thomas Sabo’s sales 12% over 2016 so far and they only expect growth to continue.

Other brands represented by Nouvo are Perla, a fashion pearl line, and Brooklyn Lights featuring a jewellery collection made from silver and diamonds. Both Perla and Brooklyn Lights are inhouse brands designed, manufactured and brought to market by the team at Nouvo Luxury Group.

The company’s increased profile has enabled them to create new business relationships in Europe and around the world. The partners also believe that business success naturally follows the success in maintaining a loving family and friendships through the years.

Their investment in social media has proven very helpful. They constantly engage with social media, posting updates from travels, their partnered brands and their own inspirations. Their social media giveaways and video messages enable them to connect with consumers and retailers and has led to increased success.

For 2018, Nouvo plans to continue to lead the jewellery business into new territory, by providing education, leadership, and guidance for their clients as advisors and not just as sales agents. They will also continue investment in technology, their digital assets, such as social media and data analysis, and evidence-based reporting to assist in marketing the jewellery and watch brands they represent.

Company Profile: Hamilton

HAMILTON’S CLOSE CONNECTION with aviation began early in their history.

They gained a reputation for accuracy with railroad watches, and soon began creating watches specifically for the flying community.

Their prestigious history of providing essential cockpit tools to pilots and co-pilots began in the early days of commercial aviation where watches are essential--everything is based on accurate timing. Even modern pilots need a watch as a reliable backup to their digital multi-instrument display.

In Canada, Hamilton is proud to support the Canadian Forces Snowbirds and worked with the crew to design an exclusive Hamilton Khaki Aviation only distributed to the Snowbirds members.

Hamilton also is the Timekeeping sponsor of some of the most prestigious Canadian Aviation organization as ATAC (Air Transport Association of Canada), the Air & Army Cadet League of Canada, the DCAM (David Charles Abramson Memorial), the Northern Lights Aero Foundation & the Webster Trophy.

Company Profile: Hamilton

The year was 1918 when Hamilton’s watches were chosen to be the official timekeepers of the first U.S. Airmail flights between Washington, D.C., Philadelphia and New York. The milestones since then have been regular and significant, and in 1926 a Hamilton watch timed the first flight to the North Pole.

In the 1930s, their reputation for producing aviation watches led to Hamilton becoming the official watch of the four major airlines of the United States at that time, and they were selected as the timekeeper for the first nonstop, coast-to-coast service from New York to San Francisco.

Since then, Hamilton has developed and maintained partnerships with military squadrons, air rescue services, demonstration teams and aerobatic pilots around the world.

In 2017, Hamilton became the Official Timekeeper of the Red Bull Air Race, established in 2003 as an international series of air races where contestants navigate a challenging obstacle course while competing for the best time. The championship focuses on speed and precision and requires split-second timing. The pilots use the fastest, most agile and lightweight racing planes to navigate the low–level aerial tracks at high speed. With the Official Timekeeper partnership, Hamilton is at the forefront of the most exciting branch of aviation.

As developments in aviation have increased, so has the demand for watches as flight instruments that can withstand the most severe and challenging geophysical conditions, and meet pilots’ ever-evolving needs.

The current Hamilton collection reflects the needs of modern aviators, including watches with the ability to log up to 20 flights, with two time zones, and equipped with numerous calculators including those for landing speed, drift angle and fuel requirements. CJ
