Bangkok--4 Oct--Time Zone
Seven weeks ago Erik Meijer and Ralf Calebow met each other in Bangkok and decided to shake up the Bangkok watch world. In this rather short amount of time they first convinced Ralf's sister Gehla Calebow, a corporate lawyer with a penchant for watches, to join. Then the three founded a company, recruited the best staff the Bangkok watch world has to offer, found a shop space in Bangkok's premier watch location, Gaysorn Village, finalized the design of their 174 square meter store and signed exclusive representation agreements with over 12 brands.
On the 1st of November they will open the doors to Time Zone and the official Thai Jacob & Co boutique.
Amongst the brands they have on offer are (this list is not yet complete as the final details with some of their brands are still being worked out):
Jacob & Co
Jaquet Droz
Carl F. Bucherer
DeWitt
Kerbedanz
Cyrus
Speake-Marin
Schwarz Etienne
Rudis Sylva
Pierre DeRoche
TF Est. 1968 Geneve Suisse.
Erik Meijer (CEO): "I moved to Thailand 10 months ago and I am thrilled to be the leading independent watch retailer in my new home country".
