Bucherer 1888

I bought my first entry level luxury watch, a Breitling Superocean, in 2004 or 2005 at Tourneau Galleria in Houston. Fast forward a few years and I've bought other watches from Tourneau when I lived in Chicago, and now here in the DMV. Hana and more recently Dexter have been super nice and kind, procuring several watches I was looking for, including Blancpain, Girard-Perregeaux, IWC, Jaeger LeCoultre, and a really cool Tag Heuer Monaco, as well as Rolex watches. Beyond that, they are super kind, and even though I do not remember the names of the store director and some of the other managers, they always offer water, coffee and good conversation about watches. I wish they were a little bit closer to Reston/Herndon but I enjoy visiting every time I can.

I recently visited Bucherer to pick up my Rolex Submariner Date, and the service I received from the sales associate, George, was unlike anything I’ve experienced at other stores. He is patient, kind, and extremely knowledgeable about watches, and he’s someone you can have a genuinely great conversation with. He made the entire process of waiting for a watch like this feel worthwhile. I had been trying to get a Submariner for quite some time without success, but after meeting George and explaining what I was looking for and why, the process became very smooth. I truly appreciated the experience and definitely plan to continue doing business here.

I visited several stores, but Bucherer at Pentagon City Mall truly stands above the rest. Special thanks to George Hoxey for making everything possible. Thanks to his professional advice, I found the perfect-sized Rolex Sea-Dweller for my wrist. He also went the extra mile to help me secure a Cartier Santos for my wife that I had seen on their website. I highly recommend asking for George if you visit the store. Looking forward to my next purchase.

Over the past 20 years, I have visited many stores and worked with a variety of advisors worldwide. Richard at Bucherer in Pentagon City stands head and shoulders above all. He is a one-of-a-kind advisor and horology connoisseur; a true gem. He will help acquire your dream piece (or pieces) and keep you informed along the way. He recently assisted me in acquiring a piece that I’ve had my eyes on for a few years. However, when working with Richard, it is not just about getting the watch you already know you want – but about being introduced to other watches/brands that you may not be as familiar with. He puts in a lot of time and effort in this and because of him I found my love for Panerai, IWC Performance Chronographs, and (neo-)vintage Rolexes. I highly recommend Richard for all your watch and jewelry needs – so please drop by for a visit. The entire staff at this location is also friendly and welcoming, so you will feel at home right away. As a side note, make sure you check out the pre-owned section – they have a great selection from a variety of brands.
