Audemars Piguet Ginza Boutique relocation opening Event
Audemars Piguet Japan generously invited watch lovers to the opening event of its re-located Ginza Boutique, which is far bigger and better than the previous one. Wonderful place to relax and enjoy, while we all can feel and appreciate the weight of the history it has.
New boutique is located in the busy area in Ginza.
From the outside....
Under the showcase is artistic stones, like Japanese garden...

Other display cases...
Mr. Jonathan King, CEO of Audemars Piguet Japan making speech to welcome guests.
Mr. William Deuel, Retail Director & Education Asia Pacific.
With Mr. King is the Boutique Manager, Mr. Motokazu Kure.
Some of the watches of the guests.
Entering the boutique, you see the "bar counter" where there are usually stools and you can look at the screen showing La Brassus.
Behind the screen is like "salon"...
... and very roomy relaxing space....

Ah! Yes, this looks quite like the Mt. Fuji with snow on top, very funny.

Congrats to AP on the new boutique. It looks great! So that's where Mr. Deuel has been hiding... His presence in America has been missed.
Thank you Ken! Hope to visit this AP Boutique one day.
You were treated to a wonderful selection of museum pieces as well. Fo me, one of the best parts of your post was seeing the infamous Will Deuel! Will, if you are reading, we miss you here in the US! Hope to see you soon my Friend :-)
You are so right...
.. he is a very nice guy, who were in NY while I was, too, but unfortunately we never had pleasure meeting each other over there :-) Thanks, Michael! Ken
Thanks a lot Ken for the comprehensive report!
And of course, I wish the best for the new boutique and its staff! Fx
Great report on the new AP Ginza Boutique
Great post Ken. Thanks for sharing these pics from the new AP Ginza Boutique. It looks so different than when we last visited in 2009. Do they still have the onsite watchmaker at this new location? And it's great to see the pic of Wil Deuel, he's a tremen...
Yes, they do!
They rent three or four floors of the building. Customer Service, where the resident watchmaker works is another floor. And, yes, Will is a great watch enthusiast! Ken
Excellent
A top notch event and boutique. I loved the new facility -- great Ginza location, excellent layout and design (which includes a 2nd/3rd floor service center with glass viewing wall), and inviting aesthetics complete with historic pieces. Really well done ...
Nice ambience!
Thanks for an excellent presentation of the event and the watches Ken :) Best fernando
