One display held around $750,000 worth in Rolex watches, police said in a statement, and another had an emerald necklace valued at $125,000.
A masked suspect threatened workers with bear spray and a Taser, police said, but no one was injured.
'We're pretty shook up as a staff,' Josh Menashe, vice president of the family-owned store, said by phone Friday.
'We're gonna be closed for a while.'
Menashe said workers finished cleaning up the broken glass and were working on a full inventory of the losses.
Police said they responded to the robbery but the suspects had already fled in a getaway car and eluded a search of the area.
