Whether you're a first-time buyer or a seasoned collector, The Shops at Hudson Yards offer an unparalleled experience shopping for a luxury watch with Watches of Switzerland, IWC Schaffhausen, Panerai, Piaget, Cartier, Bulgari, Dior and more on Level 1.
Consider these aspects to ensure the right fit and function for your lifestyle:
Luxury watches are made from a variety of materials to suit a preferred design and feel. Choose from options such as stainless steel, copper brass, silver, enamel, ceramic, yellow gold, white gold, and the rarer platinum or titanium options.
Often, the material composition of a watch will be an easy first-step in determining the look and style desired.
