Ben Bridge Opens Tudor Boutique in Honolulu
The opening marks Tudor’s first location in Hawaii.
The 950-square-foot boutique features elements of Hawaiian surfing culture, including Tudor-branded surfboards.
“We are thrilled to embark on this exciting new chapter for Ben Bridge and Tudor in Hawaii,” said Lisa Bridge, president and CEO of Ben Bridge Jeweler.
“With 112 years of watchmaking heritage, we have a profound appreciation for the quality and craftsmanship of fine watches. We cherish the longstanding relationships we have built in Hawaii and eagerly anticipate being part of many timeless moments we will share with our customers here.”
The store will offer several iconic collections by the Swiss-made watch brand, including “Black Bay,” “Pelagos,” “1926,” and “Tudor Royal.”
The Black Bay collection is a prominent feature of the store, said Ben Bridge. Shoppers will see a “Black Bay 58” experience table, which shares information about the timepiece and how it’s made.
The Black Bay line was inspired by Tudor divers’ watches that were produced in the 1950s and feature angular “Snowflake” hands from watches in the brand’s 1969 catalog.
The Pelagos collection is also a feature of the boutique, said Ben Bridge, noting its celebrated history in diving. Known as “the ultimate diver’s watch,” it’s water resistant to 500 meters (1,640 feet).
The new store is located at 2300 Kalakaua Ave in Honolulu.
Ben Bridge and Tudor hosted a party in honor of the grand opening of the Honolulu boutique on Oct. 24 at Hau Tree in the Kaimana Beach Hotel, welcoming more than 100 guests to celebrate and shop.
Ben Bridge recently brought another watch brand to Hawaii for the first time, opening a Grand Seiko boutique in the Waikiki neighborhood of Honolulu earlier this year.
Ben Bridge has operated in Hawaii for 35 years, with other stores in Honolulu, including a Rolex boutique, Ben Bridge & Timeworks, and a Ben Bridge Jeweler.
