Swatch Group Sample Sale NYC?

[timeisofthessence]

Hello my fellow enthusiasts!

Last year I attended, enjoyed and made purchases at the Swatch Group Sample Sale in NYC. It was sometime in early - mid November in 2009 and I'm wondering if anyone has any information about a sample sale this year. I believe they have had this sample sale for a few years in a row and I wrote someone at the Hamilton office in NJ but they did not respond.

If anyone has any information about the sample sale, please post.

Thank you!

I think I got an email months and months ago telling me to reserve the date of Thurs, Nov 11. However, now I can't find the email, despite searching for every conceivable term I could imagine. I also haven't gotten any emails this week reminding me that it's coming up. Hopefully it is. Looking to pick up a Tissot or Longines...

If possible, please check the email and post day and location details, it would be greatly appreciated! I bought a few Hamiltons last year and the price reduction allows me to indulge much more than I would be able to without it!

Many thanks in advance.

Well, if they're having another "Sample Sale" I'm afraid I won't be able to make it to the Big Apple...it's going to set be back, maybe, $1,200+++ (plane fare, hotel, incidentals)...heck, that's equivalent to a couple of good watches, e.g., Hamilton, Archimede, Steinhart, etc...

But, seriously, I've been thinking about *SWATCH* and I had my eye on one of their chunky watches...your thoughts?

Well, I would, except I can't find the email... I may just go to the site tomorrow and hope they're still having it.

I just called the Metropolitan Pavilion, which is the usual site for the sale. Swatch is not having it there this year, meaning they've moved to a different location or, more likely, they're not having it at all...

Thanks for checking up on this and reporting back, much appreciated.

I was going to walk by the Metropolitan Pavilion later tonight and see if they had signs up, etc.

If anyone else find something out about this sample sale please share. Glad I picked something up last year.

another thought: Hamilton USA has made a decision to reduce internet AD retailers of Hamilton products. That would mean Hammy product would only be available from brick and mortar on an AD basis.

....so any AD's that were selling mainly via internet will not be replenishing stock, but rather, looking to sell and discount.
