Must Visit Cities for the Watch Lover
Calling all watch and travel enthusiasts - in case you missed BloombergPursuit’s recent article, we thought we’d recap it for you. In a nutshell, if you’re looking to plan your next vacation - why not head to one of the below cities to get your travel and horology fix in one:
Geneva - Headquarters of Europe’s United Nations, the Red Cross, and countless watch brands - Geneva also is home to some of the most impressive watch boutiques in existence. Tour the Patek Phillipe Museum to view one of the most impressive collections of timepieces in the world.
Tokyo - Japan is full of watchmaking history, and Seiko's museum on the outskirts of Tokyo gives watch enthusiasts a proper history lesson about what was happening in horology outside of Switzerland. Should you find yourself in Tokyo, consider taking a three-hour train ride to Nagano for the Matsumoto Timepiece Museum - housing the country’s largest, historically significant collection of working clocks.
London - Perhaps not as rich in watchmaking history as the previous two locations - but London does tick off all the boxes for every variety of watch buyer. You’ll find boutiques from all the top brands as well as smaller shops featuring some grade A vintage timepieces.
New York - Home to yours truly AND one of the biggest watch enthusiast groups, none other than the RedBar Crew. The New York Chapter hosts weekly gatherings and if interested in joining or starting a new chapter in your home town - contact them online here.
