In November 2021, Watches of Switzerland acquired Timeless Luxury Watches, which is based in the upscale Legacy West shopping center in Plano, Texas.
Located approximately half an hour north of Dallas, the acquisition of the Timeless Luxury Watches is the Watches of Switzerland Group’s first store in Texas — placing the UK-based retailer squarely in one of the country’s most desirable markets.
Legacy West is a new-age type of retail destination that’s just as much about food and experiences as it is shopping. Purchasing the Legacy West store — announced alongside the acquisition of three Betteridge stores (in Greenwich, Aspen, and Vail), as well as the Ben Bridges location (in the Mall of America) — makes Watches of Switzerland the only retailer at Legacy West that can sell timepieces above the one thousand dollar price point.
“After three years of strong foundational growth in the US market, these acquisitions and new openings are directly in-line with the projections we forecasted in our Long Range Plan,” states Brian Duffy, CEO of Watches of Switzerland Group. He continued, “Through focused investment on new projects and acquisitions, we continue our geographical diversification in order to solidify our position as the preeminent leader in the US market.”
With 15-foot ceilings and floor-to-ceiling walls wrapping around the entire store facade, Watches of Switzerland Legacy West is an airy sunlit showroom that in spite of its relatively quaint size — is packed with a vast selection of new watches from Omega, Vacheron Constantin, Blancpain, Hublot, TAG Heuer, Ressence, Seiko, Montblanc, Oris, Doxa, IWC, Nomos Glashutte, Zenith, Gronefeld, Zodiac, Grand Seiko. There’s also a sizable selection of pre-owned inventory, including a newly added assortment of Analog:Shift’s curated vintage and neo-vintage timepieces.
