William Barthman Jeweler recently hosted a memorable evening in partnership with Bvlgari at their newly-renovated Midwood location. The highly anticipated event showed a deep appreciation for loyal clientele, as well as the organization’s unwavering commitment to exceptional service and selection of fine timepieces and jewelry.
The Brooklyn space has served as a staple in the high-end King’s Highway shopping district since 1998, and it was given a beautiful reinvention more befitting the modern retailer, while paying homage to its rich heritage. Marble and wood construction with bronze and gold accents throughout create a refined ambiance and aesthetic.
Many thoughtful details were added to the space to elevate its hospitality offerings, including more cozy seating options and a sophisticated bar area. At over five thousand square feet, the Brooklyn boutique is able to comfortably entertain many visitors while maintaining an inviting ambiance. Shop-in-shop installations were meticulously designed to showcase the unique character and craftsmanship of prestigious brands including Bvlgari, Breitling, IWC, Hublot, and Tudor.
With its own dedicated area at the far end of the store, Rolex with William Barthman masterfully created a haven for current and future collectors to experience the beauty and distinction of the brand. As part of the elite worldwide network of Official Rolex Jewelers, William Barthman is authorized to sell and maintain Rolex watches, ensuring that every client receives a timepiece that is both genuine and exceptional, as well as the highest standard of service and authenticity.
Alongside the masters of watches, William Barthman lives up to its jeweler status featuring a curation of artisan-designed collections from Italian favorites Roberto Coin, Pasquale Bruni, Damiani, and Chimento. Also available for purchase is fine Baccarat crystal for your gifting needs. Rounding out their offerings, William Barthman has continued to provide top-tier watch and jewelry service and repairs to ensure that vintage and modern heirlooms can be passed down through generations and enjoyed.
After all, the heart and soul of William Barthman lie in their dedication to providing superior service and engagement within the greater New York community. The original Financial District location opened more than a century ago in 1884 under the Barthman family, and carved out its place in history as a luxury retailer that values professionalism and a personal touch at every interaction. Many may know the company for their original monument to timekeeping, the Clock in the Sidewalk. Although the Manhattan location has been moved twice over, the clock still remains at its spot, and is due for a tune-up and return to its unique value in the neighborhood and with timekeeping enthusiasts.
Upon acquiring the company in 1983, Jerry Natkin Sr. has ensured that the operation remains a well-oiled dream-fulfilling machine, now with active involvement from his son Steven and grandson Jerry Jr. Family values and a devotion to preserving the legacy of the oldest retailer of its kind in New York are pillars of the Natkins’ strategy to keep William Barthman relevant and beloved by anyone who walks through their doors in Manhattan or Brooklyn, or even enjoys an online shopping experience via their website. The combined experience of the Natkin family and their expert staff is matched only by their passion for going above-and-beyond with every promise made to customers. The sales staff prides itself on a superb level of knowledge and understanding of product catalogs and customer needs to guarantee that everyone leaves happy and return happier.
With coinciding 140-year anniversaries, William Barthman and Bvlgari set the stage for an evening of elegance centered on the theme “Aging Like Fine Wine.” The attendees were treated to a smorgasbord of delicious Italian aperitivo, mini desserts, and, of course, fine wine. Bvlgari experts were on hand to showcase their innovative collections, and captivated the audience with a special selection of showstopper pieces that are a testament to Bvlgari’s distinctive style and craftsmanship.
The glamorous house of Bvlgari is famous for its fine watches and jewelry, accessories, leather goods, and fragrances, making it a pioneer in many sectors. Now under multinational conglomerate LVMH, Bvlgari continues to position itself as a world leader in creative vision. Working in harmony with partner vendors is a priority for William Barthman to create meaningful moments of discovery for their client family, so expect more intimate gatherings and dazzling affairs from the William Barthman team in the near future.
Guests of the event were also able to view the proud retailer’s newest category offering: Rolex Certified Pre-Owned timepieces. The addition provides an opportunity for customers to own a piece of Rolex history, with each pre-owned watch undergoing a rigorous inspection process to ensure its authenticity and condition. The Certified Pre-Owned collection offers a range of models that are both timeless and contemporary, appealing to collectors and enthusiasts who are devoted to the craftsmanship and heritage of Rolex. William Barthman’s own handpicked collection of non-Rolex pre-owned watches are available in-store and soon to be online as well.
William Barthman remains committed to honoring the values that have guided its hallowed institution since its birth in 1884, and resolves to keep its roots firmly planted in the history of New York no matter what comes its way. World Wars, natural disasters, economic downturns, and acts of terrorism may shake their foundation, but William Barthman stands tall as a beacon of refined taste and community relations.
