And the boutique offers a selection of the brand’s heritage timepieces, including the Autavia – which this year celebrates its 60th anniversary.
 
The store will also offer specialist Connected Calibre E4 services including interactive displays, enabling visitors to explore its breadth of wellness and sporting functionalities.
 
Rob Diver, managing director of TAG Heuer UK and Ireland, said: “As TAG Heuer already enjoys very high levels of awareness all over the capital, we look forward to building on this even more by showcasing the best of TAG Heuer and welcoming clients into this new boutique.”
 
With the high-end jewellery and watch sector continuing to take advantage of a boom in demand, especially since the end of the pandemic lockdowns, TAG Heuer has been on a busy expansion run. In February, it opened a major space within Harrods’ Fine Watches room on the London, Knightsbridge department store’s ground floor and has tied up with a number of jewellery retailers to expand its regional UK offer.
