God Bless The Swiss

— Tue, 11th November 2008 —

Thursday and Friday, the Metropolitan Pavilion on West 18th Street is hosting a Swiss watch sale, featuring 50-80% off Longines‘ (pictured), Rado‘s, Hamilton‘s, Tissot‘s, and Swatch‘s, among other makers. Good deals on nice watches tend to draw crowds. Consider yourselves warned.

***Update: One reader brings word: “Pretty good deals Tissot automatics for 3 bones. Longine’s at $600-$1k from $2kplus. they’re replenishing stock. Downers: 4 registers for about a hundred plus paying customers. about 300 lookers making for a very crowded setup. not a lunchtime stop given the waits.”***

Just Take The C To Lafayette!

— Mon, 10th November 2008 —

There’s no denying that New Yorkers are perpetually sitting on a treasure trove of priceless sites, scenes, characters, arts, and artifacts. That so many of these gems can be so concentrated geographically is beyond miraculous. Every Sunday, The Brooklyn Flea Market endeavors to concentrate that trove even further by hosting some 150 vendors of vintage furniture, clothing, collectibles and antiques, as well as new jewelry, art and crafts by local artisans. 

Michael of A Continuous Lean points the way to the “Mad Men” shop (pictured above) full of 60s vintage goods.
