I have had several transactions with Hughes and the service has always been exemplary. Each brand he represents is curated. As a watchmaker, he has a thorough understanding of products he offers and will assist you with making your choice.

Small store with lots of inventory. Really have low expectations after seeing stores like Rolex completely empty. The person at the store is extremely knowledgeable and took time with me even though I knew nothing about what I was looking at. He even told me the history of several brands. 5 stars isn’t enough.
