Ben Bridge, a renowned watch and jewelry retailer with a rich heritage in watchmaking, is thrilled to announce the grand opening of its new Tudor boutique located at 2300 Kalakaua Ave in Honolulu. As Ben Bridge celebrates 35 years in Hawaii, this incredible new 950-square-foot store also marks the first-ever Hawaiian Tudor boutique.
The boutique showcases the iconic collections of the Swiss-made watch manufacture, including the Black Bay, Pelagos, 1926, and Tudor Royal. Unique design elements include a Black Bay 58 experience table allowing clients to not only engage with the product but with the fabrication itself. The boutique also incorporates the Hawaiian surfing culture with the inclusion of Tudor-branded surfboards throughout the store.
Prominently featured is the renowned Black Bay collection. The Black Bay line draws inspiration from Tudor divers’ watches produced in the 1950s, incorporating the distinctive angular “Snowflake” hands from models in the brand’s 1969 catalog. The shoulderless crown and case characteristics are reminiscent of the first generations of Tudor divers’ watches. This collection represents a blend of traditional aesthetics and contemporary watchmaking, merging 70 years of Tudor dive watch history with modern-day manufacturing techniques, reliability, and robustness.
The acclaimed Pelagos collection is also featured at the new Honolulu boutique because of its celebrated history in diving. The Tudor Pelagos, the result of years of development for diving professionals, is the ultimate diver’s watch. It boasts a 500-metre (1,640 feet) water resistance and is available in both left- and right-handed versions with a 42 mm diameter titanium and steel case. In Fall 2023, Pelagos 39 was awarded the “Sports Watch” prize at the prestigious Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève. The latest addition to the Pelagos family is the Pelagos FXD model, featuring a 42 mm satin-brushed titanium case designed in collaboration with a specialist unit of the French Navy for underwater navigation and professional use.
“We are thrilled to embark on this exciting new chapter for Ben Bridge and Tudor in Hawaii,” says Lisa Bridge, President & CEO of Ben Bridge Jeweler. “With 112 years of watchmaking heritage, we have a profound appreciation for the quality and craftsmanship of fine watches. We cherish the longstanding relationships we have built in Hawaii and eagerly anticipate being part of many timeless moments we will share with our customers here.”
Ben Bridge and Tudor hosted a party to celebrate the grand opening of the Honolulu boutique. The event took place on Thursday, October 24, at Hau Tree in the Kaimana Beach Hotel. Over 100 guests came to celebrate the opening, as they shopped for the latest Tudor novelties.
The Tudor boutique is part of the brand’s impressive portfolio, which encompasses 36 stores across the U.S. Reflecting the company’s long-term commitment to timepieces and fine watchmaking, the investment in this location underscores Ben Bridge’s dedication to providing exceptional service, quality, and a curated selection of fine timepieces.
