Dear all, please let me share some great news from the Glashütte Original Manufacture

Glashütte Original celebrated the opening of its new boutique
in Shanghai on June 28. The new store in the luxury shopping landmarks of
Shanghai‘s Xin Tian Di Area is the second mono-brand boutique from
Glashütte Original in China, following the successful opening of the first based
in the Oriental Shopping Mall in Beijing.

The new boutique is now open for business and features Glashütte Original’s
vast collection of exclusively fine timepieces, as well as a welcoming staff
to educate and guide customers through the full Glashütte Original experience.
The new store represents the sixth mono-brand boutique by the Saxon watchmaking company and heralds a period of growth and expansion for the company.



In the presence of Mr. Yann Gamard, Managing Director of Glashütte Original,
Ms. Susan Chen, President of The Swatch Group China, Mr. Jeff Wang,
Brand Manager of Glashütte Original China, Mrs. Carrie Liu, Commercial
General Manager of Shui on development limited, the new boutique was officially
inaugurated at 4:00 pm.

As a special guest of honor, Mrs. Carrie Liu, Commercial General Manager
of Shui on development limited, also attended the official opening and participated
in the ceremonious cutting of the ribbon. Selected media representatives
from Shanghai were invited to attend this special event followed by a tour
through the new boutique, media interviews, and a dinner.



The traditional Lion Dance is danced to bring luck to the new opened boutique,
as well as the traditional couples with compliments on it.



Happy Faces at the Opening:
Jeff Wang, Yann Gamard, Carrie Liu and Christina Hentschel



Following an old tradition, Yann Gamard brings the lion to live
by dotting his eye with red color.



The opening of the boutique in Shanghai is part of a global roll-out plan of
the new design concept of the German watch manufacturer. With its carefully selected materials, stylish furniture and display cabinets as well as its contemporary overall appearance, the boutique reflects the values the manufactory stands for: technical perfection, modern design, and timeless elegance.

An interactive Brand Experience system guides the visitor virtually
through the Saxon manufactory and gives further insight into the timepieces Handmade in Germany.

Thanks for the update Wim, in general, I really like, brand Boutiques a lot.
It's like home coming.
This new Glasshütte Boutique in Shanghai, looks as if it has been there for many years,
incredible how it blends in, in the structure of the building. Beautifully done.
Hard to see what is new and what was already there.
Looks very good!
