Haute Time Visits Westime in Beverly Hills
This week Haute Time is in Los Angeles, where we’re visiting the city’s hottest haute horlogerie boutiques. Today we’re bringing you an exclusive look inside Westime Beverly Hills.
Located on Beverly Hills’ famous Rodeo Drive, this multi-brand boutique caters to celebrities and collectors from all over the world. Although we saw incredible pieces from brands including TAG Heuer, MB&F, Harry Winston, Franck Muller, Greubel Forsey and Urwerk, our favorites were undoubtedly the Audemars Piguet novelties.
Here’s an exclusive look at what we saw, from the new concept piece that Audemars Piguet debuted at SIHH to a completely diamond-clad Royal Oak Offshore Chronograph:
This hand-wound tourbillon watch is housed in a 44mm titanium case with a black ceramic bezel and black rubber strap with titanium AP folding clasp. The openworked dial features white gold Royal Oak hands, and boasts GMT function, second time-zone indicator at 3 o’clock, crown position indicator at 6 o’clock, and a tourbillon at 9 o’clock.
