UK Startup Gives Away Luxury Watch for Free Amid Cost of Living Crisis – Only 999 Entries Available

April 29, 2026 | Posted in Free Drop


A UK-based startup is offering people the chance to win a luxury watch – completely free – in a move designed to make high-end timepieces more accessible during the ongoing cost of living crisis.

The Watch Drop, a London-based platform founded by Felix Cowling, has launched a new “Free Entry Drop” where anyone can enter without spending a penny. Each person is given just one ticket, with the winner selected at random and announced live.

The latest giveaway features the Blancpain x Swatch Fifty Fathoms “Atlantic Ocean” – part of one of the most talked-about watch collaborations in recent years, combining Swiss watchmaking heritage with modern, accessible design.

Unlike traditional competitions or raffles, the model removes the need for payment entirely. With only 999 entries available, the drop is designed to be both fair and highly accessible, giving every participant an equal chance of winning.

Felix, founder of The Watch Drop, said:

“We wanted to create something genuinely accessible – where anyone can win without having to spend anything. Especially right now, it felt like the right time to do something that gives people a real opportunity.”

Entries are open for a limited time, with the winner drawn live on Instagram alongside the platform’s main weekly watch competition.

The winning entrant will receive the watch as a full set, shipped fully tracked and insured the next working day, with delivery expected within 48 hours.

As consumer spending tightens and demand for more accessible luxury grows, initiatives like this reflect a shift towards more inclusive ways of engaging with premium products – without the need to spend.

With just 999 spots available, the drop is expected to fill quickly.

One watch. one winner.
