On a rapidly evolving stretch of East 57th Street, between the gleaming Vacheron Constantin boutique and the under-major-renovation Tiffany & Co. flagship, a towering new watch emporium has just opened.
Only it’s not exactly a new watch emporium. The three-story space near the corner of 57th and Madison Avenue was previously known as the Tourneau TimeMachine, and had peddled new and vintage wares from brands such as Rolex, Patek Philippe, and Cartier since 1997. Prior to that, Tourneau had been selling watches in different New York locations since the 1920s. Your grandfather may have bought a timepiece at one of them, or at one of the many sister shops across the country.
