World Lux Grand Opening in Seattle
This company began in 1973 as a small fountain pen repair company called Seattle Pen Repair. Over the next thirty years, this small start has grown into a full service luxury goods retailer, carrying lines ranging from Montblanc, Cartier, Chronoswiss, and Raymond Weil to the reletively humble Fisher SPace Pen or a gel ink refill. If it has to do with the accessories for living right, World Lux is a one stop shopping experience!
Beginning in October, World Lux has moved their retail showroom into new lodgings. Selecting a location that matched the luxurious nature of their product line wasn't easy, but the final choice has proved to live up to the task of showcasing the Pacific Northwest's premier retailer of luxury accessories in a manner that has outdone even the best expectations of Todd Craver, the owner of World Lux.
Watches along one side, pens along the other. It takes only a single visit for the synergy between these two products to display itself. There's really no doubt about it, pens and watches do just seem to go together perfectly!
If you're in Seattle, a visit to the World Lux showroom is a must. If you're lucky enough to live here, it's bound to become a regular stop! Copyright 2005 William Riepl Images copyright 2005 William Riepl |
World
Lux is fast becoming one of the busiest online retailers of luxury
goods. Those seeking out a nice watch, good leather, or (of course!)
a great new fountain pen have been discovering that World Lux probably
has just what they've been looking for.
An
experience which has just gotten considerably easier for those who
chose to do their shoopping in "real time".... While World
Lux has been known of late for their large, lavishly illustrated print
catalog and comprehensive website, they have maintained a retail showroom
in the Fourth and Pike Building in downtown Seattle. The same location
in which that small pen repair company began all those years ago,
in fact.
Located
in the Arcade level of the historic Fairmont Hotel in downtown Seattle,
World Lux's new showroom is a large, airy space, lined with glass
display cases along both sides.
In
addition to the fine writing and timekeeping displays, there is a
large selection of leather goods, and of course, ink and refills for
your pen!
