The Six Must-See JDM Grand Seikos at the New Watches of Switzerland New York Boutique
Watches of Switzerland, the largest physical retailer of watches in the UK, recently opened its first two stores in the United States. The two boutiques opened simultaneously over the final weekend of November in New York’s SoHo neighborhood and inside The Wynn in Las Vegas. The location in Lower Manhattan’s renowned luxury retail district, which covers two floors and 8,000 square feet, is a welcome sight for New Yorkers who previously had to rely on the boutiques located uptown on Fifth Avenue and Madison Avenue to get their luxury watch fix.
The first Watches of Switzerland location in New York City is located at 60 Greene Street in SoHo.
To celebrate the opening of the SoHo boutique, Grand Seiko is hosting a pop-up exhibition on the lower floor that will run until February 3, 2019. The Japanese brand is known throughout the watch industry for its elaborate event concepts and intricate build-outs and the Watches of Switzerland experience doesn’t disappoint. More importantly for watch enthusiasts, however, is the fact that Grand Seiko has imported a number of Japanese Domestic Models (JDM) to be sold for a limited time at the pop-up shop. During a recent visit to the boutique, we got to spend some time with these watches that are rarely seen stateside. Check out a few highlights below. The Grand Seiko pop-up is located on the lower floor of the boutique.
In the U.S. market, there’s no doubt that the “Snowflake” is Grand Seiko’s...
