Watchmaker Omega opens store in St. Johns Town Center

Swiss watchmaker Omega has added another luxury product line to the St. Johns Town Center when it opened the newest of its company-owned retail stores there on Friday.

The store exclusively offers the company's entire product line, including items that can only be found at an Omega location.

Aside from an assortment of men's and women's watch collections, the 162-year-old watchmaker also features leather products, jewelry and fragrance lines. The price tag on a standard-model Omega watch begins at about $2,500.

The 2,000-square-foot store is located in the southern portion of the shopping complexes on River City Drive between Juicy Couture and BCBGeneration.

The new Jacksonville location comes as part a wave of Omega retail store openings throughout the country, marking its initial retail presence in the U.S.

Nine stores are in the process of opening before the end of the year in locations such as Chicago and New York City's Manhattan borough. A total of 20 more are slated to open across the country in 2011, according to a company press release.

Omega's presence in the St. Johns Town Center adds to a list of luxury product makers that have come to Jacksonville's retail mega-complex. Tiffany & Co. is set to open a store in the town center on Dec. 10, adding to an upscale presence that includes names like Louis Vuitton, Coach and Cole Haan.
