Case Study: Watches of Switzerland achieves simpler, faster cloud backups with Wasabi Technologies

Watches of Switzerland Protects Retail Operations With Cloud Backup Simplicity

Watches of Switzerland Group, the UK’s largest luxury watch retailer, needed a better way to protect backup data across 208 showrooms as it expanded globally. Its existing cloud backup setup was running out of storage, required restrictive three-year contract renewals, and delivered slower-than-desired backup performance, all while the business needed to control costs. Wasabi Technologies’ Hot Cloud Storage offered a simpler, more flexible alternative for backup and recovery.

Using Wasabi Technologies, Watches of Switzerland phased in cloud storage across its environment to modernize backup infrastructure, improve security, and support long-term retention. The company benefited from predictable flat pricing, included immutability and backup features, no egress fees, and faster restores from Wasabi’s hot storage tier. As a result, backups became faster, recovery confidence improved, and IT spent less time on reactive backup work and more time on higher-value projects.
