Our Thoughts

Boutiques are a vital element for luxury watch brands. They enable them to “share their world” and “control their storytelling” in a manner which an authorised dealer might not be able to do so effectively in a multi-brand boutique. As the watch industry becomes increasingly global with a discerning and demanding clientele, boutiques become necessary.

Image: A boutique is a global extension of a brand’s Manufacture, and as important as the watches themselves. They are not merely about controlling distribution and pricing – they enable brands to offer a personalised experience.

Hublot’s new Flagship Boutique in Riyadh will allow customers – both existing and new – to learn all about what makes the brand unique, and their innovative watchmaking.
