Where to buy independents in NYC
Hi all, I'm travelling to NYC for a couple days later in July and would like to take the opportunity to see some independent watches. There are several brands that I am generally a fan of, but have never had the opportunity to see in person because I live in a small city (a watch desert, as I sometimes call it!). In particular I am looking for DeBethune, Arnold & Son (technically not independent), Laurent Ferrier, Lang & Heyne, Urban Jurgensen, and FPJ. Besides the FPJ boutique, can anyone recommend where I might find the others, or other brands I might not have mentioned? Google found me a place called Cellini that apparently carries many of these brands but I wonder how many they actually have in stock. Does anyone have any experience in that store or have any other suggestions? I'm specifically looking for independents and other rare brands, as I've already visited many boutiques for Richemont and Swatch brands. Thanks for the help!
