In today’s hurley-burley, rushing-here-
and-there world, some of the only real
quiet “you” time comes when traveling,
whether it’s for business or pleasure. As
a result, the purchase of luxury goods, in-
cluding watches, is becoming an increas-
ing part of the travel experience.
Think about it...Nowadays, you have
to get to the airport so early, so a er you
go through security, you o en have time
on your hands. Once you are past secu-
rity, you’ll see Duty Free shops and many
luxury boutiques, many that include
watches and jewelry.
Also, there are incredible luxury watch
boutiques all around the world. So, when
you find yourself with extra time during
your trip, you can spend it quite enjoy-
ably at your nearest authorized retailer.
THE TREND GROWS – DUTY FREE
Duty Free shops (these stores get
around charging import duties, or sales
taxes, because the goods are only sold
to departing passengers) have been
around for quite some time, but lately
there has been a concerted effort to add
boutiques and luxury stores in airports
all around the world.
