IWC Schaffhausen has announced the opening of HAUS. The Swiss luxury brand’s first-ever concept store has been created in partnership with Mercedes-Benz Hong Kong and will deliver a unique customer experience. In addition to a contemporary showroom and retail lounge, HAUS features a bar and restaurant curated by Tatler Dining Kitchen and a membership program with many exclusive benefits for members. Initially, the concept store will focus on IWC’s Big Pilot’s Watch and the Mercedes-Benz G-Class, two of the most recognizable icons from both brands.
IWC Schaffhausen and Mercedes-Benz have enjoyed a successful partnership for many years. They first joined forces in 2004, when IWC became a partner of Mercedes- AMG, the high-performance brand of Mercedes-Benz. In 2013, IWC became the “Official Engineering Partner” of the Mercedes-AMG Petronas Motorsport Formula One team. By opening their first concept store in Hong Kong, both brands are now taking their partnership to the next level. Named after the German word for “house”, the concept is a nod to the origins and legendary engineering spirit that both the Swiss luxury watch manufacturer and the German automotive brand share.
