A LUXURY Swiss watch brand worn by the rich and famous such as Hollywood stars Ryan Gosling and Patrick Dempsey has opened its first stand alone store in Scotland.

World-renowned Swiss watch brand TAG Heuer has launched its first standalone boutique in Scotland after teaming up with jewellers Beaverbrooks which reopened its Glasgow store in Silverburn shopping centre.

Family-owned jeweller, Beaverbrooks, has undergone an extensive refit, upscaling its footprint in the shopping centre with the introduction of a new luxury boutique from premium watchmaker, TAG Heuer – the first of its kind in the country.

With 71 stores across the UK, the national jeweller has continued to expand its luxury offering over recent months – the new TAG Heuer boutique is the seventh addition to the Beaverbrooks portfolio and the second to be opened by the brand over the last year.
