Received this email this morning, and I regard it as a great pity. I guess this is the direction of travel, though.

After having been represented in London for more than 25 years, we will close our showroom on New Bond Street on 10 March 2023. We would like to sincerely thank you for your confidence and the many wonderful encounters we had during the past years.

Although it has been the philosophy of the company Wempe to always select the top locations in each city for its showrooms, the constantly increasing presence of brand boutiques, especially those for watches, on New Bond Street has led us to decide that there is no promising future for the continued operation of a multi-brand store for fine watch brands and exquisite jewellery at the present address.

The time in Mayfair is an important chapter in our company history, and we will remain attached to London as well in the future. The A. Lange & Söhne Boutique that Wempe operates on Old Bond Street is not affected by the closure.

Furthermore, our service offers and warranty services will of course continue to be at your disposal for all watches you have purchased at Wempe and for all your Wempe jewellery items. You can reach Lynn Schroeder by e-mail at the address london@wempe.com until the end of June. For more information and the latest news, please have a look at our website.

Goodbye!
