ST. THOMAS, USVI, October 11, 2010 (Press-News.org) Are today's consumers looking for the latest in watchmaking technology when it comes to a luxury purchase? According to Jewels, a luxury jewelry retailer with locations on St. Thomas and St. John in the Caribbean, savvy consumers are seeking timepieces that not only are elegant, but also have the latest generation technology. That's why the stores carry an extensive line of Patek Philippe watches.
"Watches essentially are a very personal reflection of both the wearer and the giver," explains Tony Wasserman, Jewels vice president of marketing. "Society as a whole is becoming more fascinated by emerging technologies, from cell phones and computers, to video gaming and hand-held readers. This same interest in technology has translated itself into the world of watches. We have seen an upswing in people seeking state-of-the-industry watches, either for themselves or as gifts."
Patek Philippe's men's and women's watches are notable for their innovation. With its new in-house chronograph caliber CH 29-535 PS, a long-awaited manually wound movement, Geneva-based Patek Philippe now has three different proprietary calibers which strengthens its technical prowess and watchmaking expertise. In many of the timepieces, buyers will find special features like moon phases, annual calendars, 60-minute and 12-hour monocounters at 6 o'clock. With its vast experience and more than 70 patents to its credit, Patek Philippe is the only manufacturer that crafts all of its mechanisms according to the strict specifications of the Geneva Seal.
Travelers in the Caribbean can stop by the Jewels shops to purchase Patek Philippe merchandise tax free and duty free. Jewels' concierge team pampers shoppers while encouraging them to peruse the most exquisite jewelry and watches as a special memento of their Caribbean vacation.
Jewels has five shops on St. Thomas and one on St. John - both very popular vacation and cruise ship destinations.
