David Yurman opens flagship boutique in Miami's Design District
Designed under the creative leadership of president and chief creative officer Evan Yurman, the space is a collaboration with Italian architect Andrea Tognon and consulting creative director Bernadette Blanc. Together, they've created what the brand describes as a 'design playground for artists and jewelry devotees'.
"We are thrilled to be opening our new Miami flagship in the center of the art community," said Evan Yurman.
"As a brand founded by two artists, this space reflects our family legacy and shared vision to create beautiful things that inspire us–whether that be our product, store experience, or design.
Collaborating with Andrea Tognon and Bernadette Blanc, we believed there was no better location to debut this one-off concept in a neighborhood fueled by artistic fervor and heritage that attracts many of our existing and future consumers.'
The façade was cut from a gigantic volume of stone, fused with a metallic paint, and detailed with an extruded logo.
Inside, stone finishes adorn the fixtures, while a stepped wall of vertically cut granite moves in a curve, displayed like a necklace. David Yurman's signature Cable design also appears in refined architectural touches such as a sculpted entrance handrail and a custom vitrine under the staircase.
Upstairs, a private salon overlooking the Design District offers a curated experience with the brand's Men's, Women's, and High Jewelry collections, displayed alongside artwork and personal pieces from David Yurman's own archive.
The store opens with exclusive styles, inspired by Miami's magnetic atmosphere, landscapes, and tropical sunsets, including pieces featuring bold and semi-precious stones in electric pinks, neon greens, cobalt blue, and fire orange.
"The retail world is constantly rethinking itself," said Tognon. "As we collaborated with Evan Yurman on this project, our main goal was innovation coexisting with the brands rich heritage. Working together, we were able to design a classic design ground in which new and existing consumers can feel comfortable exploring.'
Most recently, David Yurman opened a new boutique in Montreal, within Royalmount. It currently operates 49 retail stores throughout the United States, Canada, Hong Kong and France.

Kering in talks with Qatar for sale of Milan building, Corriere says
Gucci -owner Kering is in talks with a member of the Qatari royal family for the sale of a building in Milan's top shopping avenue, Italian daily Corriere della Sera reported on Saturday. The deal could help the French luxury group cut its debt, which ballooned to more than 10 billion euros (11.58 billion dollars) in 2024, following a series of expensive acquisitions. Among them was the 18th century property in Via Montenapoleone, which the French group bought from Blackstone for 1.3 billion euros in April last year. Corriere said Kering was looking at selling a majority stake in the company through which it owns the building, based on a "similar valuation". It added that the buyer would be a vehicle linked to former Qatari Prime Minister and real estate billionaire Hamad bin Jassim bin Jaber Al-Thani. Kering declined to comment on the report. It was not immediately possible to contact Al-Thani for a comment. In April, when Corriere first reported about a possible Qatari-Kering deal for the Via Montenapoleone property, the Qatar Investment Authority denied it had any interest. Kering, which appointed former Renault CEO Luca de Meo to lead the group from September, is under pressure to trim debt and revive declining sales, particularly at its top brand Gucci.

‘He likes Swiss watches!': Trump shocks horology with tariffs
The Trump administration jolted Switzerland with punitive new tariffs. Few seemed to be more taken aback than buyers and sellers of Swiss watches. Oliver R. Müller, a luxury watch consultant based in Switzerland, was indignant at the blow that tariffs will likely inflict on the country's watch industry, which has recently been relying on demand from the US to offset fading sales in China. 'It's another burden that comes on top of many others,' Müller said in an interview. The administration's 39% tariff on all Swiss imports, if passed along from sought-after brands like Rolex, Patek Philippe and Omega to distributors in the US, would likely lead to retail-price increases of 12% to 14%, Müller estimated. That would add about 1,000 dollars to the 9,500 dollar price of a stainless steel Rolex Submariner. Swiss watches are a longstanding signal of affluence, and over the years the president has been seen wearing various high-end timepieces, including a Rolex. Members of his family and his administration have also sported Swiss watches in public. For observers, that made the 39% levy all the more vexing. 'On top of it all, he likes Swiss watches!' Müller said. High-end watches have been drawing a growing American fan base in recent years, with obsessive owners showing off their collections on social media. The chain retailer Watches of Switzerland, which has locations in tony shopping areas across the US, said in a statement that it would 'continue to work closely with our brand partners to mitigate any potential impact.' Trump administration officials didn't seem to be focused on watches when they put the tariffs in place, instead citing pharmaceuticals as a driving force in the trade imbalance between the countries. The US has no large luxury-watch making industry of its own. Online watch enthusiasts have long clocked the make and reference numbers of the high-end watches of Trump officials. FBI Director Kash Patel has been spotted wearing a Breitling. Former DOGE czar Elon Musk has a TAG Heuer with the SpaceX logo. Secretary of State Marco Rubio- who in a previous political life declared that Trump, had he not inherited a fortune from his father, would be 'selling watches in Manhattan'- has worn a Rolex, too. There were already warning signs in the Swiss watch industry before Trump's tariffs. Exports fell 5.6% in June compared with a year earlier, according to the Federation of the Swiss Watch Industry, a trade group. That was driven by 'significant declines' in sales in the US, as well as Japan and Hong Kong, the group said in a monthly report. Trump lent his name and signature to a line of MAGA-coded timepieces last year, including a 100,000 dollar 'Swiss-made' Tourbillon. The makers of the watch, a firm registered as TheBestWatchesonEarth LLC, didn't respond to a request for comment sent through an intermediary. The site states that the watches 'are not political and have nothing to do with any political campaign.'
