NY Welcomes the Manufacture with Open Arms!
May 03, 2014,19:15 PM
This is outstanding news. While it isn't exactly a surprise, this is the first I've heard of a firm time frame for the arrival.
I've always regretted that JLC has no factory footprint in one of the world's premier destination cities and premium watch markets. As a resident of the NYC metro area, this will be a wonderful addition. The better factory boutiques serve as a fantastic focal point for followers of the brands, and collector community outreach activities such as cocktails, exhibitions of watchmaking craft, and the opportunities to view novelties/special editions are invaluable to building a rapport between factory and local fans.
Hopefully, this will present an opportunity to attach faces to some of the forum handles I've come to recognize.
Best,
Tim

Hi Nicolas, 1) I am living/working in NY for the time being. I got the opportunity to move there from Denmark through the company I work for. It took me all of 2 seconds to grab that opportunity. I have been here for approx. 1.5 years now, bought one watc...
