Breitling and Berry’s Jewellers hosted a party to mark the opening of a new boutique in the centre of Leeds earlier this month, with customers and a number of famous faces joining the celebrations.
It took place in the two story boutique, which is the second largest outside of London for Breitling and the largest monobrand store in the Berry’s network.
Celebrities at the party included DJ Sara Gavey on the decks, tennis player Jo Konta, former Kitesurf World Champion Hannah Whitely, retired Castleford Tigers rugby league player Jacques O’Neil, Jonny Brownlee MBE, a six-time world champion, and one-time Olympic champion in triathlon and marathon runner Mary Ngugi-Cooper.
The Breitling boutique is located at No. 1 Commercial Street, the mini Bond Street of Leeds where watch and jewellery stores are clustered.
“No1 Commercial Street marks a new chapter in our relationship with Berry’s who have been the sole custodians of the brand within Leeds for many years,” says Gavin Murphy, Breitling’s UK managing director.
“Leeds has always been a great catchment for Breitling, and now with this impressive boutique, we look forward to providing an immersive brand journey to the local clientele,” he adds.
Simon Walton, managing director of Berry’s Jewellers, says he is thrilled to open the first stand-alone Breitling boutique in the heart of Leeds following a £2 million investment. “This will be one of the largest Breitling boutiques outside London and provide watch enthusiasts in the city with a dedicated space to experience the full range of Breitling timepieces. Customers can expect a personalised shopping experience with our knowledgeable staff who will guide them through Breitling’s legacy of Swiss watchmaking excellence,” he promises.
