San Francisco recommendations?
I'll be heading to San Francisco in about a month and am looking forward to doing some watch shopping. I'm not looking for anything in particular, but am always interested in seeing what's available in new cities when I travel.
I'm planning on hitting Tourneau, Shreve and Co, and Tourbillon boutique. Anything I'm missing or any independent dealers I should visit? Thanks! |

FYI, you should reach out to Jacek at HQ Milton before you journey to SF, and make an appt to go in there. HQM is not a typical storefront that you just walk into. The area is not what you'd expect for a place of this renown.
I say this as someone who has purchased multiple times from them, and consigned even more pieces through them. Great operation, but definitely make an appt.

HQ Milton is very cool and the people are very welcoming.
I would skip Tourneau unless they carry something you're really interested in. It's small and feels like a low end jewelry store in any mall. Shreve is much nicer. |

Some suggestions in the general area: OC Watch Company (Walnut Creek), Davidson & Licht (Walnut Creek), Bhindi (Newark), Jade Galore (Milpitas, Cupertino and Stonestown Mall - SF).
