So I've recently been stationed in Stuttgart and spent most of today strolling around königstraße. If you're ever in the mood to put at least four Rolex dealers within a square mile against each other for pricing, this is the place to do it. The only store name I recognized was Wempe but there's more than just that show in this town.

Seriously, horology heaven for the casual shopper. If you ever find yourself here, check it out!

It´s three to be exact.

There's a shop that's got a few sports models pre-owned, so they're not an AD per se, but it's there if one's interested.

Thanks for the info!

love to see the look on a German sales reps face when you go from shop to shop asking for prices.

I used to live near Stuttgart when I was younger.

I used to wander up and down the Koenigsstrasse, before I guess I really had an appreciation for the quality of the shops there.

Can't wait to go back there!

There was a shopping event this weekend so I spent a bit of time window shopping for more than just watches. I did just get a Datejust so I wasn't exactly seriously looking to get a watch last night, but it's always fun to go see what they've got. Showing a friend who'd recently become interested in watches a few Breguet models really opened his eyes. In sure he'll be making a few trips back there to pick one out.

Don't forget the Porsche Museum while you're there.

Spirtnoye · 9 November 2014, 11:08 PM

That's next on my list, as well as seeing how difficult it is to get into Basel 2015.

For a business town, Stuttgart is a great city for shopping. I went to a conference there once. Good times.

marshallr47 · 9 November 2014, 11:30 PM

Spirtnoye, I was stationed in Stuttgart last year. My wife and I loved it. Visited Königstraße many times and I of course made my way to all the watch shops. It's a great way to spend a Saturday. Enjoy!

Spirtnoye · 9 November 2014, 11:47 PM

Thanks, any other places you'd recommend? I've been here and month and it's been an excellent assignment.

Mercedes Benz museum, Bluehendes Barock in Ludwigsburg, Tuebingen is a nice town to visit. You might also want to consider a trip to the Black Forest.

Good idea, definitely worth a trip.

Where is your family from?

I'm stationed in Stuttgart as well! Kutter is the other AD that I've been to. They also have a great selection of Panerai and some amazing wall clocks. There's a small auction house and preowned shop around the corner to the Southwest and faces the schloss (castle) across the courtyard. Don't recall the name though.

Spirtnoye · 15 February 2015, 08:55 PM

I'll have to go down that way and see about that auction house. You never know what comes across their lots.
