For the month of May, Tim and our team embarked on an exciting trip to try and break into the Australian market. Since Tim founded Hagley West, only 612 watches had been sold in Australia - he wanted to change this! After spending 28 days in Australia, over 1,800 watches have been sold, this equates to 57% of our global turnover.    The tour was an incredible experience, spanning 4 weeks, 4 cities, and 4 exciting Find Tim Challenges. The team engaged in video creation, editing, and numerous meet and greets along the way. While we anticipated growth, we never expected the overwhelming success that was achieved.    The first stop was Sydney. After filming a podcast with the successful Katrina Kavvalos, it was time to prepare for the first big city Find Tim Challenge of the trip. Sydney set the bar high with a total of 223 people finding Tim! This included Parker, who made history by being the first person ever to find Tim on two different continents. Sales started to increase, putting Australia as the #1 country in the world and by the end of the first week, Australia was making up 60% of global sales.    Next up was Brisbane and the Gold Coast. 563 people came out and found Tim throughout the week and at the Find Tim Challenge, putting the total to 786 people in the first 2 weeks! From there, they traveled to Melbourne where 398 people found Tim. Momentum continued to build, putting us on track to meet our target and while this was happening, Hagley West hit some other incredible milestones. One of these being 50,000 watches sold since the start inception of Hagley West, a day that Tim has dreamed about for a long time.   The final week was spent in Perth and it was nothing short of amazing, with 864 people participating in the Find Tim Challenge, bringing the total to 2,048. This was the biggest ever Find Tim Challenge, putting them at the top of the all-time leaderboard.    Such a great time was had on this trip, thank you so much to everyone who made the effort to come out and see Tim, and to everyone for their support of Hagley West, it means everything! Tim connected with so many amazing people and couldn’t believe the turnout from all four cities. Until next time Australia!    Be sure to check out all the behind-the-scenes exclusives of the whole trip over on our YouTube channel now. 

The Anniversary sale marked the debut of 16 brand new watches, the culmination of hard work and anticipation leading up to the event where Tim offered the largest discount Hagley West has ever seen!   Let's rewind to the beginning: In the weeks prior to going to Canada, we worked hard to promote the sale. Tim and the team then embarked on the journey to Canada, kicking off the 3-week tour in Montreal.  Find Tim Challenges, hand deliveries, and the promotion for the sale, apart from the fact that Tims luggage got left at Heathrow… it was a good first week. Following Montreal, they made an overnight stop in Ottawa, continuing to promote the sale and build excitement.   The third stop was Toronto, where the anniversary sale would take place. Weeks of work and build up to this defining moment, it was so exciting! The sale went live and unfortunately, this is where it all went wrong. Tim was subject to an attack by trollers who were trying to sabotage Hagley West. This resulted in his TikTok account being permanently banned. Not only did this jeopardise the sale but was also a threat to the business as a whole and the fallout was going to be hard to come back from.    Despite the challenges, the show had to go on and Tim and the team headed to Windsor. Tim worked tirelessly to regain access to his TikTok account and thanks to the support of the online community, his account was reinstated after 48 hours - this felt like a miracle.    After this, it was time for the final stop on the tour: Niagara Falls. The primary objective was clear - maximise sales. Through determination and resilience, Tim was able to salvage the success of the sale, with a total of 4755 watches sold from August 4th to 18th.   This remarkable turnaround not only exceeded the minimum order threshold but also demonstrated Tim's unwavering commitment to building a global watch brand. What initially seemed like a ruined anniversary sale transformed into somewhat of a triumph, showcasing the dedication and perseverance that define Hagley West.   We want to say a huge thank you to everyone who supported and who purchased a watch, your support means everything to us. Here’s to celebrating this outstanding achievement, and we look forward to many more amazing Hagley West watches to come in the future!

Following this, Tim will be designing a brand-new edition watch for World Autism Acceptance Month in 2025, but you will have to wait and see what this new design will look like! Peter Watt, Director of National Programmes at the National Autistic Society, said: “We are delighted to be partnering with Hagley West again to create awareness and understanding as part of World Autism Acceptance Month 2025. Autistic people face discrimination and barriers across all sectors of society – in health and social care systems, education, employment, and beyond. It is crucial that autistic people, and their families and carers, can access tailored information, guidance, and support to overcome these barriers, along with opportunities to explore their interests, develop skills, and build friendships for fulfilled lives. Hagley West is helping us raise important funds and awareness to continue our work. We are beyond excited to see our charity being part of Tim’s #LoveYourJourney campaign." Tim Hayden, said: “Hagley West continues to be dedicated to supporting autistic people. We aim to play a crucial role in fostering an atmosphere of acceptance by educating people about autism and the diverse needs of autistic people. We are proud to announce the relaunch of our highly successful Spectrum Colour Watch at the end of September with all proceeds going to the National Autistic Society. Our decision to bring back this product stems from its overwhelming success during its initial launch, evidencing the strong demand, which lead these watches to be sold out in just 6 minutes." By reintroducing these watches, we are actively trying to promote education about autism and raise awareness of the challenges and strengths of autistic individuals. We look forward to connecting with even more customers upon the relaunch of our Spectrum Colour Watches and thank everyone again for their continued support. Tim Hayden is set to run the London Marathon 2025 for the National Autistic Society, embodying the #LoveYourJourney ethos as he trains across the globe. As he prepares for this monumental challenge, Tim’s journey will take him through diverse landscapes, from bustling city streets to serene countryside paths, each step reflecting his commitment to promoting autism acceptance and personal growth. His training journey showcases not only his dedication to physical endurance but also his passion for embracing the process and finding joy in every moment. This global journey of preparation will culminate at the London Marathon finish line in April, symbolising the continuous process of learning, evolving, and overcoming challenges that lie at the heart of the #LoveYourJourney philosophy.
