The black rubber strap, screw down crown, and water resistance rating of 100 meters means he doesn’t have to be afraid to wear it during any unexpected outdoor adventures. Whether he’s tying a line on a sail boat, hosting an important meeting at the office, or mountain biking across tough forest trails, the Bell & Ross BR V2-92 will serve him well.

Jonathan King Featured in Revolution

Posted on July 28, 2017 by Make Technology

Jonathan King, Partner and Director of Sales, King Jewelers, Appears Alongside Leaders of the Watch Industry in Revolution Magazine to Discuss Trends in Online Sales

Our very own Jonathan King appears in the latest edition of Revolution magazine alongside titans of the watch industry (including CEO of TAG Heuer, Zenith, and Hublot Jean-Claude Biver, CEO of Montblanc Nicolas Baretzki, and Co-President of Chopard Karl-Friedrich Scheufele, among others) to discuss the ever-growing and changing online retail scene.
Below, Mr. King explains in his own words how the watch industry is slowly evolving to incorporate a more robust online presence, and highlights what sets brick-and-mortar stores like King Jewelers apart from online-only sellers.
Be sure to pick up your copy of Revolution magazine and click here to read the article in full.
Jonathan King, Partner and Director of Sales, King Jewelers:
Nowadays, most people’s first point of contact with a watch brand or a jeweler is through the web. People find out about their next jeweler either via word of mouth or via an Internet search.
What we do notice is that we sell a lot of lower to mid-tier items on the site, but we have not yet made a significant watch sale through the web. A large percentage of our high-ticket transactions come from the initial discovery of our business through the web. The website allows people the comfort and luxury of browsing through our merchandise at their leisure, whenever they have time.
I think, in the future, just about everything will migrate online. The idea of brick-and-mortar is becoming less relevant. I think there will be a larger shift of the traffic from in-store to the web. Ultimately, I think a much greater percentage of transactions will be done online.
There will always be a need for the brick-and-mortar, which distinguishes companies like King Jewelers from people who are dealing only online. People are still looking for the credibility of the company, the warranty, the sizing and repair aspect.
When it comes to taking the knowledge to the next step, that’s where the salesman really comes into play, explaining the timepiece and guiding them to the right one. There will always be the need for the personal touch. There is a lot more than just purchasing online, you are going to need to service the watch, learn how to use it, buy new straps and have it sized. The relationship between the client and the store is very important as well for service and for future sales. We know every client by their name when they walk in, we know their birthdays, their anniversaries, their likes and dislikes.
Brick-and-mortar, multi-brand retailers are needed, so people can compare watches and see how they feel. We have been in business for more than 100 years, and we understand how to cultivate our clients. The brand boutiques and e-boutiques serve the purpose of information and image building. Many of our customers go see the watches in the boutiques, and then they come here and buy, because they have the relationship with us.

TUDOR Reveals 4 New Variations of the Ever-Popular Heritage Black Bay Timepiece at Baselworld 2017

Early this morning, watch afficionados were glued to their smartphones and computer screens as Switzerland’s most prestigious watch brands began releasing their new timepieces for Baselworld 2017. TUDOR, sister brand to Rolex, certainly didn’t disappoint, surprising fans with 4 new variations of their extremely popular Heritage Black Bay timepiece.

TUDOR Heritage Black Bay Chronograph

The first, and arguably most exciting, announcement from TUDOR this morning was the addition of a chronograph to the Black Bay lineup. The 41mm steel Black Bay Chronograph has the first in-house chronograph movement (Manufacture Calibre MT5813, COSC) from TUDOR, so it’s sure to become a collectors item in the future. The watch will be available either on a riveted steel bracelet ($5,050) or a brown leather strap ($4,725) and each variation will come with TUDOR’s signature additional fabric strap, as shown in the above photo.

TUDOR Heritage Black Bay 41

At Baselworld 2017, TUDOR builds off the popularity of their newly released 36mm unisex Black Bay model by offering the same slimmer case and simpler design by offering the same aesthetic in a larger 41mm mode. This version of the Black Bay should appeal to the more business-orientated man, and at just $2,950 it makes the perfect graduation gift.

TUDOR Heritage Black Bay S&G

To appeal to a wider audience, TUDOR is now offering their classic Black Bay in a steel and gold (hence, S&G) variation. The new S&G model also features a date window at the 3 o’clock position, another new feature for the Black Bay. The Black Bay S&G will be available on a two-tone bracelet ($4,975), as shown in the image above, or on an aged black leather strap ($3,775).

TUDOR Heritage Black Bay Steel

The final new introduction in the Black Bay lineup unveiled at Baselworld 2017 is the Black Bay Steel, an all-steel version with a brushed steel bezel. Like the S&G model, this Black Bay also comes equipped with a new date display window at the 3 o’clock position. It will be available either on a steel bracelet ($3,800) or a distressed black leather strap ($3,475) and each variation comes with an additional green fabric strap, shown in the above photo.
So what do you think of TUDOR’s Baselworld 2017 releases? Are you as excited as we are to check out these great new additions to the Black Bay family? Stop by our luxury salons in Nashville, TN and Aventura, FL to see the TUDOR collection for yourself!

Jaquet Droz Eclipse Onyx in Nashville, TN

Jaquet Droz Eclipse Onyx in Nashville, TN: A closer look at the sporty Jaquet Droz

This week on Collector’s Corner, we try on the creative and minimal 43mm Steel Jaquet Droz Eclipse Onyx at our Nashville location. We are instantly drawn to the carved black onyx dial and the disc at 6 o’clock that works with the moon-phase complication. This timepiece is incredibly beautiful! The aesthetic is classic and understated which allows the delicate details to truly stand out. The intricate details of the smiling rhodium moon is charming and the 8 radiating rhodium-plated star-shaped appliques are borrowed from the Jaquet Droz logo. The rhodium-plated hour, minute, and date hands are all sharp and clean making it very easy to read. The date and day window is found tucked neatly below the Jaquet Droz logo at 12 o’clock. The smooth contrast between the extremely dark onyx and the steel case and appliques works in harmony to give this timepiece a sleek and masculine feel.

This mesmerizing watch is powered by an automatic Jaquet Droz 6553L2 calibre movement that is double barreled with 26 jewels. Not only does this movement power the moon phase complication but also includes an impressive 68-hour power reserve. It’s water resistant to 30 meters and is paired with a black rolled-edge alligator strap and steel pin-buckle that takes this timepiece to another level of cool. This is the watch that is truly versatile and can hit a wide range of the style spectrum. It would look incredible with a clean modern suit or even accessorized with textured John Hardy jewelry for a laid back rock and roll attitude

If you’d like to try on the Jaquet Droz Eclipse Onyx, or if you would like to check out any of the other exciting pieces in the Jaquet Droz collection, stop by our Miami, FL or Nashville, TN salon!
