Earlier this summer CLERC Watches made landfall in the UK with a splash as the prestigious Watches of Switzerland opened a massive and stunning 3-storey showroom on Brompton Road in the heart of London’s Knightsbridge. The flagship boutique kicked off with a bang, playing host to an opening gala that drew in quite a crowd in the posh London district. Collectors, enthusiasts, celebrities, brand ambassadors and CEOs (including our own Gerald Clerc of course) were all in attendance as the ribbon cutting took place and the doors were officially opened to the public. The prestigious guest list included a cultural cross-section ranging from world class boxers Anthony Joshua and David Haye, luxury watch fanatic and internet sensation Anish Bhatt of Watchanish, as well as model and TV personality Nicola Hughes.

The Knightsbridge opening not only marks CLERC’s grand arrival into the UK retail market, but it also establishes the brand in what is soon to become a global destination for luxury watch collectors around the globe. Displayed alongside a wide array of other prestigious watch brands in the heart of London’s premier luxury shopping district could not have been a better fit, and we are excited to see where this partnership with Watches of Knightsbridge takes us in the years to come.

Announcing the Clerc OpenWatercolors Art Project

CL1 copy

Relationships have always played major part of the watch industry and collecting community. With that in mind, we are proud to announce the launch of  Clerc OpenWatercolors — an engaging arts project featuring 30 watercolor paintings by the skilled sartorial artist Sunflowerman. Over the years we have had the opportunity to see and share wonderful photos from our fellow Clerciste from around the globe, and we are always eager to see where our fans are and and what experiences they’ve taken their CLERC watches on. Through this collaborative art project we will be bringing you a series of 30 illustrations based on submissions from CLERC owners, as well as the stories behind those watches and why they are loved by their respective owners.

If you own a CLERC watch and want to share your story, we want to hear from you. Submissions are being accepted via email at openwater@clercwatches.wpengine.com. We would love to hear the things you love about your CLERC watch, the adventures you’ve taken it on, or any noteworthy memories of  events in your life that passed with your CLERC on your wrist. If you are one of the 30 Clerciste selected, you will be sent the original 6×9 inch watercolor painting of your watch as a gift to. Once the 30 have been selected, we will be featuring each one via our Facebook page, as well as via Instagram & Twitter.
