TOKYO, March 8, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- The TimeVallee Watch Boutique will open inside Japan Duty Free Ginza on the eighth floor of Mitsukoshi Ginza Store in Tokyo on Wednesday, March 9. Based on the concept of offering multiple international luxury watch brands, it will be the first boutique of its kind in a Japanese duty-free shop.

The luxurious gold tones of the store interior form the backdrop for an array of the world's top watch brands. A hands-on area featuring the latest digital tools enables shoppers to learn more about the history, traditions, and technologies of the brands on display as they enjoy selecting their timepieces.
