• From day one, Westime has also dedicated itself to seeking the new guard in haute horology by presenting the finest creations of contemporary watchmakers. Three brands stand powerfully for the new watchmaking vanguard. Richard Mille is regarded as the master of materials that are redefining the vocabulary of luxury; Greubel Forsey hails as the tourbillon revolutionary; and URWERK has emerged as the king of kinetic sculpture. Throughout the year, Westime hosts unique customer events to introduce preferred clients to the newest watches, as well as the visionaries behind these complicated creations. The company is also a proud supporter of charities and 30 Grand Complications, Vol. VII their local fund-raising events.

Westime is owned by a third-generation watch connoisseur with a passion for mechanical timepieces and a true love of the business. With Greg Simonian, a member of the family’s fourth generation, leading the business, Westime’s horizons are expanding. During 2011, Westime will open a new flagship location on Sunset Boulevard, and continue to offer an even greater selection of watches and luxurious accessories. Automatic RM 030 (Richard Mille)
