As New York City rebounds and Hudson Yards opens its doors, Watches of Switzerland is pleased to once again welcome guests to its celebrated flagship location.
[September 14, 2020, New York] – Working closely with Hudson Yards management, in partnership with Mount Sinai Health System, Watches of Switzerland is ready to safely welcome guests back to its flagship boutique in what has become New York City’s premier shopping and entertainment complexes. Hudson Yards will initially operate at 50% capacity, offering free masks through the mall, and instituting one-way walking paths to ensure the safety and health of shoppers and employees.
David Hurley, the Watches of Switzerland Group Executive Vice President, said: “We are excited to be reopening our high performing Hudson Yards location. Our staff looks forward to welcoming back new and familiar faces and picking up where we left off as the premier destination for luxury timepieces in the tri-state area.”
The ideally located High Line and Vessel facing boutique will resume their normal hours of operations: Monday — Sunday 11 am to 7 pm with additional services offered such as private appointments in person or via Zoom as well as delivery to client’s home and offices. On top of their exceptional selection of timepieces, Watches of Switzerland Hudson Yards will offer special presentations from IWC, Ulysse Nardin, and Grand Seiko. For the reopening, the Watches of Switzerland Hudson Yards lobby entrance features a specially curated selection of Ulysse Nardin’s latest offering, including the new Executive Skeleton Limited Edition while the High Line window display features Grand Seiko’s Heritage Collection which draws inspiration from the Japanese seasons. Originally scheduled for August, Watches of Switzerland is thrilled to present an installation with IWC for the reopening, highlighting the brand’s Portugieser collection – which will feature multiple exclusive timepieces.
In line with the guidelines put forth by the state of New York, The Watches of Switzerland Group has gone the extra mile to ensure the safety of its colleagues and clients. Social distancing measures will be signposted and carefully adhered to, and only cashless payments will be accepted. Gloves, protective masks, and hand sanitizer will be provided, and protective screens have been installed at consultation desks.
This adapted way of operating by the Watches of Switzerland Group has been implemented across all of its stores to demonstrate the outstanding levels of personalized service the company is world-renowned for.
