listing the owners of Rolex Boutique stores

Approximately seven years ago Rolex Corporate enticed some of their higher volume , well established jewelry store accounts to open separate store front Rolex Boutiques. To open a Rolex Boutique these accounts are expected to meet Rolex corporate demanding criteria, including store location, purchase store fixtures , materials, colors etc... provided by Rolex authorized vendors and design architects. The result is that Rolex Boutique stores, regardless of location through out the world, all have essentially the same store appearance and merchandising display style. In theory, the Rolex Boutique concept will help enhance and maintain the Rolex brand image.
Here is a short list of the entity names which own and operate Rolex Boutique stores. Please add names to this list and, or, add locations for the listed names, so that the forum may eventually have a near complete list:

Wempe Jewlers (NYC)
Geary's (Los Angeles)
Baron and Leeds (Orange County)
Hyde Park (Las Vegas)
Tourneau ( San Francisco and Chicago)
Deutsch and Deutsch (Houston)
O.C. Tanner (Salt lake City)
Brown and Company (Atlanta)

AH Riise (St. Thomas)

DM London (London)
Cottrills (Leeds)

Langford's (Queensland)

Pisa Orologeria (Milan)

Carollinum (Prague)

Caronel (Guam)

Dickson Watch and Jewelry (Hong Kong)

Euro-Asia (Israel)

Hyde Park is in Denver and Phoenix; Tourneau has a large one in NYC and multiple other locations in east coast. Isn't there a geographical list on the Rolex website?

Is San Diego a Ben Bridge store or a separate storefront Rolex Boutique ?
As far as I know, some BB's carry Rolex, but the company does not own a Boutique.

I think Denver and Phoenix are Hyde Park stores, not the separate storefront Rolex Boutique. In Las Vegas Hyde Park has a Rolex Boutique.
Tourneau has Boutiques in SF and Chicago. I think NYC and other Eastern cities are regular Tourneau stores.
Rolex website lists all Authorized Dealers, but I do not believe it offers a separate list of Rolex Boutiques. That is why I started this thread.
It is a new concept, only 6 or 7 years old, and I think the jewelry store chains may be testing the waters a bit before committing to opening more Rolex Boutiques.

Technically...it is both! The Ben Bridge UTC just outside La Jolla is a nicer than average BB, with a full blown (partially) separated Boutique. You can access from within the BB store, however to do so you have to go past the armed guard whom only post up on the interior entrance to the Boutique. it's clearly not just a Rolex section though, it has its own staff, as well as a fully separate storefront entrance from the outside...which only displays Rolex signs and window displays to the passing by foot traffic! In fact, I have yet to see a Rolex Boutique more beautifully appointed than this one!

That BB set up is a store within a store.
Rolex Boutique's are a different from concept from store-within-a-store.
As far as I know, the only current So Cal Rolex Boutiques are in Costa Mesa (owned and operated by Baron and Leeds), and Los Angeles (owned and operated by Gearys).

Hyde Park in Denver is just a typical Rolex AD although they own the Omega boutique next door that meets the same corporate criteria.

The only British Columbia Rolex Boutique I am finding is at the Shangrila Hotel, Vancouver, owned and operated by a company named Global Watch Company.

I think both Bachendorf's and Eisman's operate Rolex store within a store format, not actual licensed Rolex Boutiques.
