Opening this week at Greenbelt 5, Makati...



These are opening together (side-by-side literally) with a AP, Brietling, Chopard, IWC, JLC, Panerai and Omega.

These brands have been available here before through Lucerne, Chronos, Washington Jewelry...

Now each brand gets its own shop

Yup, GB5 is a real watch haven, and I make it a point to visit once in a while. But then, all the boutique shops are still owned by the Yao family of Lucerne and Chronos. Still, it's a really cool place to drool over watches... Although I think they should get sales people who truly appreciate watches.

New member here. Technically, not a Filipino, but born and raised in this country.

Mabuhay!
