Gavin Murphy, Breitling’s Managing Director, said: "No.1 Commercial Street marks a new chapter in our relationship with Berry’s who have been the sole custodians of the brand within Leeds for many years. I am delighted that we have been able to retain and enhance the natural character of the building whilst showcasing the Breitling universe over 1,700 sq. feet that will trade over two floors. Leeds has always been a great catchment for Breitling, and now with this impressive boutique, we look forward to providing an immersive brand journey to the local clientele.

Simon Walton, Managing Director of Berry's Jewellers, said: “We are thrilled to open the first stand-alone Breitling boutique in the heart of Leeds City Centre. Following a £2m investment, this will be one of the largest Breitling boutiques outside London and provide watch enthusiasts in the city with a dedicated space to experience the full range of Breitling timepieces. Leeds is a dynamic city with a discerning clientele, and we are confident that our new boutique will be a welcome addition to the luxury retail landscape.”
