US resident, so I haven't been there.

But, I understand this is a joint venture with Omega in some fashion, and the watches have all been restored in Bienne. Not unlike Omega Boutiques, the prices are high and, if like the Omega's boutique, they don't discount. I don't know if they have new old stock watches or not.

I understand the operators are quite knowledgeable, but we will see if they survive and succeed.
