Patek Philippe's shop- in-shop at Wynn & Company Watches "Each brand didn't hesitate, telling us, 'We're in; what do we need to do?'" notes Ryan, who has been key to building Wynn's consider- able watch clientele for the past three years. "That's because they know the caliber of our collectors coming into Wynn and what it would mean to create this kind of environment in one store. And that's the beauty of it—not only an incredible, unprecedented selection, but the convenience of being able to select and com- pare each of these amazing brands in one space under one roof." Other brands that have chosen Wynn & Company Watches as their exclusive Las Vegas retailer include Carl F. Bucherer, Christophe Claret, and Delaneau. The latter will be rep- resented with six watches in a freestanding vitrine, adjacent to the Frédérique Constant display. "They're beautifully crafted; each watch truly is a work of art," says Ryan of the Delaneau pieces. "Each features enameled, jeweled dials, while the timepieces are designed and created over many months between enamel- ists, engravers, and stone setters. They're just absolutely exquisite timepieces." Even with the caliber of venerable watch man- ufacturers already assembled, Ryan can't help but exhibit a little excitement for the contribu- tions of Christophe Claret. "He's a watchmaker of our century, born in 1962," Ryan says. "An absolutely exquisite watchmaker, Christophe has contributed his work to a wide variety of luxury brands—and then he went independent." Among the Claret styles to be seen at Wynn & Company Watches: his 21 BlackJack, which incor- porates three interactive casino games, as well as the Baccara watch, featuring baccarat, a rou- lette wheel, and dice. "Each is an ideal example not only of exquisite craftsmanship, but also of the level of exclusivity and the special, limited- edition, and one-of-a-kind pieces that we'll just keep building on at Wynn & Company Watches." Indeed, for clients of this reimagined retailer, telling time may just never be the same. n WYNN 65
