Parallel to the Florida flagship, the Lenox Square store is also designed by Michael Neumann Associates (MNA), setting the principles and aesthetics for the renovation of all the stores in MAYORS’ portfolio. Creating a glamorous and distinct setting, the store boasts a stark ribbed and ebonized wood portal storefront with shimmering polished stainless steel accents. The portal, which frames the MAYORS entrance, extends down the rest of the façade, thus positioning MAYORS as the premiere location for luxury shopping in Lenox Square. Stylish Calacatta marble flooring, pale gray carpeting, and crisp white plaster walls and ceilings define the airy, modern environment. In addition, the flagship also features a concierge-style hospitality area where clients can enjoy refreshments and relax while they shop.

As the official Rolex jeweler, the flagship features a separate Rolex entrance leading into the main MAYORS area, making for a flexible and modern retail space. MAYORS Bridal Collection, MAYORS High Jewelry Collection and other watch and jewelry brand also have their own dedicated display areas as well.

“The fundamentals do not change. As we invest in transforming the retail spaces of MAYORS, our goal is to continue developing a loyal customer base and providing impeccable customer experience and one-of-a-kind hospitality.

The intention is to create a welcoming and accessible store for our customers. That said, we adapt to the environment and the brand proposition for each location and market,” said David Hurley, Executive Vice President of Watches of Switzerland Group.

The brand’s relaunch comes after MAYORS’ acquisition in 2017 by The Watches of Switzerland Group, the UK’s largest multi-channel luxury watch retailer. In addition to a revamped look at all their stores, the MAYORS retail experience is heightened with their incomparable selection of jewelry and timepieces including their own Bridal and Fine Jewelry collections and top brands consisting of Rolex, OMEGA, Mikimoto, Messika and Roberto Coin.

Wilkerson Testimonials

Wilkerson: “They Feel Like Family”

Newton’s Jewelers in Fort Smith, Ark., was a true institution. But after being at the helm for most of his life, owner (and descendent of the original founder) Kelly Newton decided it was time to retire. He chose Wilkerson to handle the sale. “I’ve known the owners of Wilkerson for a long, long time. I felt at home with them,” he says. The final retirement sale was just a “blast” and the Wilkerson sales team made it so very simple and straightforward, says Newton. Would he recommend Wilkerson to others? Absolutely. “They’ve done incredible work,” says Newton. “They feel like family.”
