MONTREAL, Aug. 15, 2024 /CNW/ - ROYALMOUNT, the highly-anticipated Montreal retail and lifestyle district opening this fall, announced today that prestigious watchmaker Rolex will be opening the largest Canadian flagship, which will be operated by Raffi Jewellers, in the city's newest shopping, dining and entertainment destination.
ROYALMOUNT also confirmed 13 other jewelry retailers will join the new shopping district's already dazzling world-class offering. They include global Swiss multi-brand watch destination TimeVallée lifting the curtain on their first ever store in Canada in partnership with Maison Birks. Clients will be able to choose watches from prestigious Maisons such as Cartier, Panerai, Baume & Mercier, Jaeger Lecoultre, Chopard, Grand Seiko and Piaget. Birks is also set to unveil its new boutique concept that blends luxury and modernity.
High-end watch brands Tudor, IWC and Omega will also be opening their own boutiques, marking their debut in Québec.
Shoppers will be delighted to also find luxury watch and accessory maker Montblanc as part of the ROYALMOUNT offering, as well as renowned brands Swarovski and Pandora.
Local sensation Maison Monaco will, on their end, be offering beloved brands Zenith, Longines, Frederique Constant and Roberto Coin.
This announcement continues to further ROYALMOUNT'S position as the shopping destination with the largest concentration of luxury flagship stores in the province.
These brands will be joining the other world-class watchmaking and jewelry names, including Tiffany & Co., David Yurman and TAG Heuer, having already chosen ROYALMOUNT as their new Montreal home. Tiffany & Co.'s store will constitute its flagship and largest premise in the city. As for the David Yurman store, it will be the first in the province of Quebec. Meanwhile, the history of Formula One racing in Montreal will be front and centre at the TAG Heuer boutique.
"Securing top-tier watch makers and jewelry retailers for ROYALMOUNT solidifies our commitment to offering visitors a diverse and high-quality shopping experience. Jewelry often holds sentimental value for its owners. It tends to invoke a special moment or memory. And this fits beautifully with the ROYALMOUNT experience, of which creating human connections is a huge part," says Andrew Lutfy, CEO of Carbonleo and lead ROYALMOUNT investor.
"The increase in the cultural relevance of luxury jewelry and watches over the past few years has led to unprecedented demand and growth in both categories," adds Michael Stroll, Senior Vice President, Leasing & Partner at Carbonleo. "ROYALMOUNT securing so many of the top brands in the world, including Rolex's largest Canadian boutique, reflects the world-class nature of the project, and will be wonderful for the city of Montreal and its retail and tourism ecosystems."
The newly announced brands will join a wide selection of luxury fashion and lifestyle giants such as Louis Vuitton, Gucci, Versace, Saint Laurent, RH and Moncler that have already committed to being a part of ROYALMOUNT's vision. A full list of brands announced to date is included below.
