...and here I went for hour and half rabbit hole of what/who is Patek Phillipe, and why you cannot get to their store...


Tell us your findings!

BTW, if you're not dressed properly, some high end stores have a security guard who won't let you in. This can get tricky these days, as many wealthy people dress like slobs.

I once wandered into Cartier's in NYC, dressed in my trademark slob clothes. The security guard tailed me about a foot behind me, obviously trying to intimidate me into leaving. I just kept me hands in me pocketses, took a look around, then left.


Oh, I did not go into the store, I am not that famous :). I just dove into Wikipedia, reading about their history, and different types of watches etc. Quite fascinating actually. I think these guys knew marketing before the term was born.
