Hi all

So I find myself in London with some time to kill on the afternoon and evening of Friday 27th September. I’ll be in the Oxford Street / Bond Street area and think I’m going to take in:

Watches of Switzerland (for Nomos)
Baltic
Maybe Vertex in Shepherd Market

Any other recommendations for brands (particularly smaller) that I should take in around the area?

The Regent street flagship store is the one to visit. A great range of brands and I have always found the staff helpful, rather than pushy. Probably because as the flagship store they know that a proportion of the footfall are folk visiting to try on watches from a wide range of brands, rather than specifically to buy on the day.

Maybe also take a look at Mappin & Webb on Old Bond Street. Several luxury brands and (usually) knowledgable staff.

And if you’re in the Bond Street area take a stroll through Burlington Arcade. Even if you’re not into vintage watches there’s some wonderful stuff…at a price!

Bremont have a Boutique at 29 South Audley Street; that's generally within the area you're visiting.

Although I might have accepted your invite to meet up with you, as I'm only about an hour door-to-door from home to the West End; unfortunately I'll be on holiday on the Costa del Sol the day you're in London.

Another time maybe.

Omega boutique on regent street is worth a visit, super friendly staff, and they will probably have almost any watch to show you (even if they are not there to purchase eg Ed white/snoopy)
