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...

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!
