Bucherer UK’s 400sqm flagship store in the Royal Opera House Arcade showcases its own watches and jewellery alongside prestige brands, and debuts the ‘Certified Pre-Owned’ concept with a dedicated consultation area. Open-plan design is zoned by portals, with high-end finishes and furniture creating a cohesive and immersive setting for the brands. Close coordination was required with consultants, brands, and heritage authorities to meet the demands of the complex Grade I Listed setting and to deliver this exacting project.
