A little while ago, we mentioned a new boutique that was about to open in Sydney - Vendôme Woollahra. After they'd been open but a week, I was invited to pop by for a visit to meet Alex Simon and Grant Breen, and to get a glimpse of this new luxe shopping destination, which stocks a number of brands making their Australian appearance for the first time.

We are hoping to have a small evening there soon, and I will share some more photos of the event and their watches in particular, afterwards.
In the meantime, do pay a visit to the very personable Alex and Grant at Vendôme Woollahra. I spent a really enjoyable hour or so there looking mostly at watches, but also at the Roland Iten belt buckles. They have also just launched their facebook page if you want to see some more photos and sign up to keep updated about their incoming goodies.

Looking good! jpvfx
how v avant-garde...
they have the moondust??? Grant didn't show me that one!!! but very impressed with his knowledge of the products. very refreshing from the norm of the calculator-key punching sales technique.
and the Franc Villa on Alex's wrist... damn that's a big chunk of gold...
I feel a few high end boutiques now faces stiff competition...

@jpvfx - hope you get to come back soon for a visit!
@initialjh - yes they definitely stand out from the crowd in terms of Sydney watch retailers.
@sk - Moondust on your next visit :) and yes, they are offering something quite different product and experience wise in this particular market sector.
Very cool. I'll have to drop in when I make it up to Syd.
