Birks Jewellery Store

Impressive, elegant store on 2^nd level, what would you expect.
The usual diamonds at the front but I was here for myself, those Breitling watches, in the back. And I was kinda intrigued: they’ve only been carrying this magnificent brand for just 2 months.
Clover definitely knew her watches inside and out, especially knowing the type of steel of the bands as we were discussing rashes with sweat, and all. Surgical-​grade like the doctors’ instruments, that’s how tech it is… and how much they were too. Naturally, I liked the one w/​a mesh band for $ 10,000!
Also an even more prestigious line: Breitling for Bentley too :)

So I am on an elegant watch hunt for my bro’s 50^th anniversary. And the regular sports watch or fanciful designer watch just doesn’t cut it. What we are looking for is Swiss components, lifetime durability, stuff that dreams are made of like Rado, Omega or Rolex if we can find it.
Seems like Birks is one of the few stores in Calgary that carries the upper end watches. Today Agnes was so poignant in assisting us with our search. There are many higher end watch showcases at Birks, which is not surprising, she was able to show us a beautiful silver Longines with automatic dial and Swiss components at $ 2,200 and a truly elegant Baume and Mercier watch that would make any 50 year old man proud to wear.
She did not have any Rolex’s in the store but assured us that a store that they are affiliated with would have them in stock and these of course range from $ 5,000 to $ 300,000. I started perspiring when I heard these prices.
She was very keen to find us what we wanted and in the price range we were looking for and after seeing a few prospective she had a quick idea of the classic but elegant style we were looking for.
The quality of service here is akin to being served with white gloves, it is personable, intimate and so refined. Birks has a decadent selection of men’s, women’s as well as unisex watches, and it truly is one of the few locations that you can get higher end pieces here in Calgary.
