As the economy dims retailers around the world, Van Der Bauwede Genève ignites Village of Merrick Park with fiery gems and red-hot timepiece collections. The Swiss-born luxury watch and jewelry brand’s first U.S. flagship boutique opens at the Village of Merrick Park today, establishing the brand’s presence in the United States and strengthening its global allure. In celebration of the premiere boutique’s grand opening, David Rolland, U.S. president and CEO of Van Der Bauwede Genève, will host a fabulous fête alongside of Maria Beguiristain, Christina Buppert, Jennifer Cervera and Alexia Echevarria tonight from 7 to 9 p.m. Guests will enjoy exquisite French hors d’oeuvres and cocktails while shopping an assortment of Van Der Bauwede Genève’s purely Swiss-made signature watch, jewelry and diamond collections. Best of all, a portion of the day’s proceeds will be donated to the Voices Against Brain Cancer Foundation.
“We are very excited to be opening the Van Der Bauwede Genève; there has been a lot of hype around this being the brand’s first U.S. location,” Rolland said. “We are most confident that our one-of-a-kind style, vibrant colors and exclusive designs will be well received by the South Florida market.”
