Bal Harbour Shops now boasts highest concentration of luxe jewelry and watch boutiques in the U.S.
With its dazzling new expansion of 16 luxury jewelry brands and more than 25,000 square feet dedicated solely to fine jewelry, Bal Harbour Shops has evolved into the highest concentration of world-class jewelers and watches in the U.S. - more than any other luxury shopping center in the nation. As South Florida’s beloved fashion-temple celebrates its 40th (ruby) anniversary this year, it’s fitting that the Shops completes its prestigious jewelry boutique collection with the addition of two new gems this summer, Graff Jewelers and Audemars Piguet. The famed roster includes Harry Winston, Cartier, Van Cleef & Arpels, Bvlgari, and more.
"Bal Harbour Shops offers a unique combination of glamour and relaxation that is conducive to a considered purchase. The sensory cues - from the foliage to fountains - provide a particularly luxurious atmosphere for our rare jewels and timepieces," said Gilles Haumont, Vice President of International Retail of Harry Winston.
Graff is a London-based jewelry company known for its exquisite diamonds that are nurtured from start to finish, enabling production of the highest quality cuts and colors. Shiniest of all include a seven-carat, cushion cut diamond in "fancy vivid pink" for $7 million, and a 40-carat, Asscher-cut diamond in "D color flawless white," (price available upon request).
According to Henry Barguirdjian, president and chief executive officer of Graff in America, "Anyone interested in acquiring a fine piece of jewelry in South Florida goes to Bal Harbour Shops." Audemars Piguet, the Switzerland-based men’s and women’s fine watch company making collectibles since 1875, chose Bal Harbour Shops for its first store outside of New York to be closer to its client-base in Florida, Mexico and South America. Watches without diamonds average $33,000, while those with, run up to $3 million.
The recently opened Judith Ripka in Bal Harbour has reported robust sales, exceeding company expectations. "With jewelry leading today’s powerful accessory market and Miami being one of the nation’s leading fashion markets, Judith Ripka is proud to be aligned with the ‘best in class’ at Bal Harbour Shops. After just a few short months, we feel the power of this luxury shopping center. And with the international clientele Bal Harbour delivers, our long-term goal of expanding our global presence is already being achieved."
In addition to Graff and Audemars Piguet, Bal Harbour Shops is home to:
Bvlgari
Judith Ripka
Cartier
Piaget
Chanel
Neiman Marcus
Chopard
Saks Fifth Avenue
D’Aven
Tiffany & Co.
David Yurman
Tourneau
Harry Winston
Van Cleef & Arpels

"Al fresco" shopping experience
Con su mega mall size y una estupenda alameda, Bal Harbour Shops ofrece un "al fresco" shopping experience única en Estados Unidos, muy atractiva para los elitistas visitantes principalmente de Ámerica Latina siempre dispuestos a gastar 10.000 dólares por un traje.
Según Women's Wear Daily, el centro comercial más productivo de Estados Unidos en cuanto a porcentaje de ventas en relación con la superficie comercial disponible es Bal Harbour Shops, un clásico open-air center, muy espacioso, con mucha vegetación, fuentes, esculturas, y acogedores ambientes, donde los rótulos luminosos destacan por su ausencia.
Construido en 1965 sobre unos caros y prometedores terrenos de South Miami adquiridos por el promotor Stanley Whitman, tras unos primeros años difíciles, pronto se consolidaría como un emblemático centro comercial hasta los tiempos actuales, considerado ahora como el número uno en Ámerica.
Según la clasificación de Women's Wear Daily, a este modélico centro comercial le seguirían en importancia, The Forum Shops at Caesars Palace en Las Vegas (en la imagen superior una fotografía de la fachada de la tienda Gucci), y el hawaiano Ala Moana Center de Honolulu, otro open-air center pero de apertura reciente.
