Excellent! I hope they continue to do well for a very long time. If you couldn't tell, I am a fan of Tudor!

I was in there to ask if they had a bb58 in blue and the interiors looks way to cold and cheap, but thats just my opinion.

Does look very industrial. I suppose it suitable considering the tough tool vibe the brand is going for. All the best to them. Dubai sounds like a very competitive market. |

What was that designer thinking ?
Not a welcoming place where I would feel at ease to spent a few grand.

Speaking for myself as long as the staff are helpful and have the watch I wanted to buy, could not care less about the design deco. As when I visit these types of stores I go to buy watches and not look at the deco.

It might be just me being younger, but I actually quite like the design. It looks minimalist and to the point. Maybe the #borntodare hashtag is a bit OTT, but I guess they did it because it does work for younger audience most of the time.

Retail store design has changed a lot in Dubai, with costs being cut. I once spent c.£1m on the fit-out of a very small store (15 years ago) and when the chairman visited i was reprimanded for not using enough gold!

Now we are worried about what design was selected for the boutique. Seek professional help.

They should replace those watches with sunglasses.

I think that's supposed to appeal to the younger social planet being or maybe the interior designer finished far from 1st in class....
Can say this for Tudor ,I think its great quality for the asking price . Beats Omega,for that reason . |

For everyone slamming the presentation, click on the link the OP posted at the top, it shows the entire store and entrance. It is small, I admit, but who knows if that is the standard in that section of the mall or store. As for the layout, I agree it is not as opulent as a Rolex Boutique, but that really is not the style of the Tudor. IMHO, it is more of an upper-class working watch and I think that’s what they are trying to express. If I were walking by I would wander in to check it out, and as PADI stated, if buying, and the staff, service, knowledge etc were good, I couldn’t care less about the ambiance.

I wonder if the less ostentatious display is a deliberate move. Maybe it’s more inviting for the average consumer. I can certainly remember a time where i didn’t go into ADs to look around because they were so fancy, and it wasn’t very inviting. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I think Tudor needs their own stores. Most of the time when I see them at Rolex AD's they are in some dusty corner.

Good to see Tudor have its own space carved out. I'm pretty low on aesthetics as long as they carry what I'd want to pick up especially when times call for an in and out experience.

Forget the surroundings it’s all about the product.

Love the modern Tudors. Although I’m also not a fan of their tag line “Born to dare”, but can understand they are trying to target the younger audience with it.
