PuristSPro visits the new AP Bal Harbour Boutique
By: MichaelC : October 9th, 2013-11:45
I had the pleasure to recently visit the new Audemars Piguet Boutique located at The Bal Harbour Shops in Bal Harbour, Florida. AP originally opened their boutique in the very same Bal Harbour Shops in 2006, and operated out of the same location until fin...
Thanks for the report, Michael.

I didn't know you were friend with Howard. A cool guy I had the pleasure to meet several times. Best, Nicolas
Yes, we go back a little bit.

Like many - including you and I - we frequently know each other online for years before we get to meet in person. And that is always a great moment.
Thanks for the report Michael

If I were there, all the macaroons would have been missing :P This Bal Harbour Boutique has a different style and feel when compared to the NYC Boutique. Guess it's design is more suited for Florida I guess? Cheers, Anthony

You can expect to see a similar design employed for all future boutiques as well as those that are selected for updating or remodels. As an original client of the Bal Harbour Boutique, I am very excited that this location was chosen to debut the new look....
Seems like a very welcoming place

Thanks for taking us along the tour, Michael. One thing that I enjoy a lot from this new design is how they display their vintage pieces. I really appreciate the brands that are proud of their heritage, thus broadening the scope of potential clients, as t...
Well put Alex. It is quite welcoming.

I did not want to leave. Of course, my favorite goods were on display all over the place ;-) Without question, part of the design criteria is "bringing the manufacture to the boutique", as Xavier Nolot stated. The history of the brand is a big part of tha...
Very nice space.

I think OA has been in your neck of the woods quite frequently lately opening a new store there...
Excellent tour

New boutique is indeed lovely. Even better than the space is the staff. Wonderful crew they have assembled in Bal Harbour.
They are a real cohesive Team in Bal Harbour

Francina and Jasmine have been there a very long time, and have always provided great leadership and stability. It is a great group of people there.
The coffee macaroons!

Don't be shy Michael, I saw you going for those. :) Great report. Thanks.
Ahem...

Are you sure that is the way you remember it?? We can ask the gentleman at the boutique who had to keep replacing the coffee macs!!
