SOUTHGATE BATH WELCOMES TWO LUXURY WATCH BOUTIQUES

SouthGate Bath has welcomed two new watch boutiques from the UK’s leading luxury watch specialist, Watches of Switzerland.

Located on St Lawrence Street, the new stores from prestigious watch brands TAG Heuer and Breitling opened earlier this month.

TAG Heuer was founded in 1860 and is world-renowned for its watch making expertise and avant-garde designs. The new boutique will showcase the best of its core collections plus exclusive timepieces.

Founded in 1884, Breitling is a leading Swiss watchmaker which invented the modern chronograph and pioneered the navigational tool watch. Today, it’s still breaking new ground as a casual, inclusive, and sustainable luxury brand.    

Guy Henderson, centre director at SouthGate Bath, said: “It’s always exciting to be able to announce the arrival of new brands, and especially ones of this magnitude.

“I’m sure that they will be a big hit with our shoppers, especially in the lead up to the festive season.”

Rob Diver, Managing Director of TAG Heuer UK and Ireland, said: “We are excited to continue our retail expansion plan with the opening of the first-ever TAG Heuer Boutique in the historic city of Bath with long-standing partner The Watches of Switzerland Group. The new boutique is located in the city’s prominent shopping area SouthGate Bath and will offer the full TAG Heuer experience with the brand’s infamous collections along with special editions. The team will welcome new customers into the boutique sharing their expertise in the search of the perfect timepiece.”

Gavin Murphy, Breitling UK Managing Director said: “Bath is an important and affluent region of the Southwest that attracts a wide-ranging blend of visitors, both domestic and international. With this new triple-aspect monobrand boutique, set in the heart of this historic city, we can truly showcase our full collection of timepieces in our signature informal setting, creating an immersive shopping experience for residents and visitors to the city."

The boutiques join a range of leading fashion and leisure retailers at SouthGate Bath including Lululemon, Hotel Chocolat, Castore, Oliver Bonas, BrewDog and Tivoli Cinema. It will also be welcoming Zara to the centre later this year as it continues to focus on expanding its range of luxury brands in Bath city centre.
