Women in Watches List 2026
The Women in Watches List 2026 celebrates twelve influential women who are transforming the watch industry in the US. This initiative aims to highlight the leaders, innovators, and changemakers in a sector traditionally dominated by men, recognizing their contributions across various domains such as education, retail, marketing, and independent watchmaking. Each honoree brings unique expertise and experience, from global marketing directors to founders of prominent retail businesses, showcasing the diverse roles women play within the industry. Among the notable figures included are Stine Brogaard, who directs global marketing for WOLF, and Lisa Jones, president of Patek Philippe USA, both of whom are leading significant initiatives within their companies. Kathleen McGivney, founder of the RedBar Group, has created a vast community for watch collectors, while Roberta Naas, as the first female watch editor in the US, has made a lasting impact through her journalism. This list serves not only to recognize these women's achievements but also to inspire future generations in the watch industry.
