HODINKEE RETAILER SPOTLIGHT: KIRK JEWELERS IN MIAMI

In this installment, we?re chatting with Allison Strongin and Jeff Newbauer, co-presidents of Kirk Jewelers in Miami. During the post-war boom, Julian Newbauer Sr. moved to Miami from New York City and expanded his business. His descendants have been tending to the family business for over 70 years now, and the pair offers some insight that I found noteworthy: ?While we are aware of the insatiable demand for professional steel watches, we are recently seeing a tremendous interest in all-gold pieces. Great examples are the Rolex Submariner in yellow gold or the Rolex Daytona with green dial.?

That?s exactly the kind of watch I?d wear if I lived in Miami.
