NaviChief Posted February 2, 2010 Report Share Posted February 2, 2010 I might have a couple days in Manhattan and I was wondering if anyone could give me some locations to stop by to see some great watches. I know there is a Tourneau, Wempe but there must be other upscale shops. I love the second hand shops too. Let me know your favorites! Thanks.

plaifender Posted February 2, 2010 Report Share Posted February 2, 2010 Pretty sure there's a chopard shop, .. you might also wanna check out cartier and the Audemar's boutique Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plaifender Posted February 2, 2010 Report Share Posted February 2, 2010 P.s. Also Try Celini's! i think it's on 5th or near Madison.. not sure though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pubsnumber1 Posted February 2, 2010 Report Share Posted February 2, 2010 Chopard is on Madison and 63rd. Just remodeled a year ago. Audemar's is on 57th and the Bvlgari shop is very close by. For used high end watches you can always go to the Diamond district in Midtown. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilovewatch Posted March 2, 2012 Report Share Posted March 2, 2012 47th st.... Every watch in the world is displayed here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rogerthat Posted March 2, 2012 Report Share Posted March 2, 2012 (edited) Panerai has a boutique store there as well as does cartier, And opening any day now is an IWC boutique In addition to the large ad names mentioned above sac's 5th ave also has a nice watch selection to browse There are actually 2 tourneau locations near each other very close to wempe Edited March 2, 2012 by rogerthat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeff g Posted March 2, 2012 Report Share Posted March 2, 2012 Wempe...700 5th Ave. Could be the best watch shop in the USA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watchmeister Posted March 2, 2012 Report Share Posted March 2, 2012 Take 10 minutes and draw yourself a map. 57th street alone has Audemars Piguet, Franck Muller, Tourneau, Wempe, etc. Madison Avenue starts with Cellini on 51st, Panerai on 54th next to the largest IWC boutique (announced but not open) and going north has Breguet, Chopard, Lange, UN (I think) and 3-4 others. And yes, if you are in for looking at random ridiculous high end watches 47th Street between 5-6th is the place. You will never see so many Patek's in the Patek "lunch sack" or tourbillons from everyone. There is far more selection of virtually every brand there than in any boutique. If you are here for days I would split it up with an hour or two for the retail shops and an hour on 47th Street. Have fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arctos Posted March 2, 2012 Report Share Posted March 2, 2012 One warning about 47th St -- don't go on Saturday. A lot of the store owners are Orthodox Jews and don't open on Saturdays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nlevek Posted March 4, 2012 Report Share Posted March 4, 2012 (edited) also about 47th st (the diamond district) most of those places close around 5 so try to get there early. the breitling boutique too unless i read over it... 5 east 57th st.. its accross the street from tourneau and tiffanys which is also cool to check out considering its history etc..

howardtny Posted March 6, 2012 Report Share Posted March 6, 2012 (edited) If you want to try on gen watches you are better off in the area of e57 th where you have tourneau, wempe and lots of brand botiques like ap, breitling, panerai, etc... If you want to buy a gen then for sure go to W 47th street area (diamond district) but dont expect the same kind of service and patience. They want customers who know what they want and are there to haggle the price. Prices much better there than at the ADs Edited March 6, 2012 by howardtny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
