The new boutique will sell a luxury offering of prestigious watch brands, including Tudor, Breitling, Omega, Tag Heuer, Chopard, Blancpain and Mont Blanc. The boutique will also present a curated collection of pre-owned watches and Burrells’ own collection of fine and bridal jewellery, alongside prominent brands Mikimoto, Marco Bicego and Georg Jensen.
