TimeVallée Doha
A journey at the intersection of heritage and innovation
TimeVallée opened its first boutique in the Middle East on 23 January at Hamad International Airport in Doha.
The official opening of the two-storey multi-brand boutique was celebrated at a ribbon-cutting ceremony attended by VIP guests.
It was officiated by Qatar Airways Group Chief Executive His Excellency Mr. Akbar Al Baker, alongside Hamad International Airport Chief Operating Officer Engr. Badr Mohammed Al Meer, Qatar Duty Free Vice President Thabet Musleh and TimeVallée CEO Michael Guenoun.
The duplex luxury boutique is sited in a prime position within Qatar Duty Free’s (QDF) retail space in the airport’s newly opened expansion.
TimeVallée said the boutique is aligned with QDF’s vision of providing an inspirational, magical, and memorable shopping experience by housing many prestigious Swiss luxury watchmakers.
The high-end line-up features heritage and more contemporary Maisons including Baume et Mercier, Bell & Ross, Cartier, Hublot, IWC, Jaeger LeCoultre, Panerai, Piaget, Tag Heuer and the first Watchfinder (offering pre-owned watches) in the region.
As a tribute to the unsung heroes of Bauhaus, La Prairie created its own ‘Women Bauhaus Collective’. The collective aims to put the female figures of the Bauhaus movement in the spotlight.
Dubbed “a journey at the intersection of heritage and innovation”, the boutique offers a seamless customer experience across the showcased Maisons, in addition to the pioneering pre-owned watches offer and customer services lounge from Watchfinder.
TimeVallée is renowned in Asia and Europe for its sophisticated in-store design. Here the two-storey multi-brand boutique is designed to make a statement in line with the spectacular airport terminal. The store also features an 3D screen to showcase the Maisons in an impactful yet futuristic way.
