Tourneau opens Manhattan flagship
New York City -- Tourneau opened a new concept store in Manhattan. The 3,135-sq.-ft. space offers a dramatic departure from traditional jewelry and watch stores in that it does not have counters. Instead, it features a series of long tables in the main showroom that can be approached from all sides.

The new store was created by San Francisco-based architecture firm Eight Inc., which has also worked on the Apple stores.
