Opened on Christmas day in the Central District, the CORUM boutique is the first flagship store of the brand. Representing 40% of Corum's turnover, the Far East market has grown quickly by double digit yearly increases since 2007. Hong Kong has thus become the place to be and a key market for the brand. A strategic opening that crowns a strong distribution network of 17 POS in Hong Kong.
Blancpain All Black 50 Fathoms
Westime Beverly Hills enters 2010 with a new look and a new prestigious watch collection. Today the luxury watch boutique unveils a renovated showroom featuring expanded, state-of-the-art display cases and intimate seating areas for customers.
To coincide with the unveiling, Westime will introduce the Blancpain collection of fine timepieces to the boutique. Founded in 1735, Blancpain is legendary in the world of Swiss watchmaking and renowned for its commitment to mechanical movements and designs that are reduced to their bare essentials.
The Manufacture Jaeger-LeCoultre, a reference in Swiss fine watchmaking, is pleased to announce the opening of its first boutique in Latin America at Ayacucho 1945, in the City of Buenos Aires.
Last month, I had a chance to stop by the brand new Audemars Piguet boutique in Midtown, at 57th Street, in between Park Ave and Madison Ave. The new store is very spacious and accommodating, at 3000 sq ft, it boasts more than triple the space of the old AP location. I met everyone that works there and they were very friendly and helpful. The watches they have are far ranging, from Jules Audemars to Millenaries to Royal Oaks to Royal Oak Offshores. Definitely one of the best selections of AP watches in the country. Click "more" to view all 17 photos.
Breguet Tradition 7037BA
Last week, I visited the New York City Breguet boutique, in Midtown Manhattan. The Breguet boutique is located adjacent to the Blancpain boutique, on Madison Avenue, in-between 66th and 67th Street. Breguet is the flaship brand within the Swatch Group, so it is always a treat to see what they have to offer. During my visit, I was able to try on numerous timepieces and I also had a chance to photograph three of these timepieces. The Breguet Marine Chronograph Rose Gold, the Breguet Tradition 7037BA and the Breguet Classique 5177BA.
Last week, I had a chance to visit the flagship US Blancpain boutique. It is located in Midtown Manhattan, on Madison Avenue, between 66th and 67th Street. The boutique is fairly small, at about 1000 square feet, but within that space they probably have the widest selection of Blancpain watches in the country.

In the summer of 2009 I visited the Jaeger-LeCoultre flagship boutique in Beverly Hills. The store is modest in size, like many boutiques, but the assortment is not. This store has the most complete Jaeger-LeCoultre collection in country (the only JLC run boutique in North America). Including some exclusive "boutique only" timepieces. This boutique is right off of Rodeo Drive, sitting in between Richemont owned Panerai and IWC, in one of the most exclusive zip codes in the country, 90210. Within the immediate proximity there are also Breguet, Omega, Chopard, Chanel, Gucci, Cartier and LVMH boutiques.
Audemars Piguet has decorated the storefront windows, at their boutique in Bal Harbour, Florida with antique tables, vintage watchmaking tools and hand-drawn designs by Octavia Garcia (AP Design Director). Also on display, are some very complicated AP timepieces. The Jules Audemars Minute Repeater with Jumping Hours, Jules Audemars Equation of Time, Jules Audemars Minute Repeater, Toubillon and Chronoghraph, and an Edward Piguet Large Date to name but a few.
