The boutique is located at the brand-new shopping mall “K11” in Hanoi Road in Kowloon
and showcases the finest and latest models of the German watch manufactory.
Following the successful opening of the first boutique in 2009 in Pak Sha Road,

Boutique Location:

Opening Hours:
Sun – Thu: 11:00 am to 9:00 pm
Fri & Sat: 11:00 am to 10:00 pm
The new boutique is the second mono-brand store by Glashütte Original
in Hong Kong, featuring the full range of the collection including novelties
such as the Senator Chronometer and the Senator Perpetual Calendar Ceramics.
A separate VIP area and a well-assorted bar counter add to the exclusive
and pleasurable atmosphere of the store.
The opening of the boutique in Hong Kong is part of a global roll-out plan
of a 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.
as you can see, there is enough space to relax, enjoy drinking a glass of fine wine from Saxony and looking for your perfect (next) watch.
Horomundians from Hong Kong, pay a visit to the store and let us know how the experience was!
cheers, Wim
