Manfredi celebrates 20 years with store redesign

Greenwich, Conn.—Manfredi Jewels celebrated an expansive store redesign earlier this month, and invited more than 200 guests to join in the festivities. The store, now one of the largest luxury jewelry and watch retailers along Greenwich, Conn.'s tony Greenwich Avenue, underwent a massive redesign that expanded its space from 930 square feet to 3,300 square feet.

The theme of the June 11 fete was living luxuriously, and the retailer made that clear in a number of ways, from the latest Lamborghinis parked outside of the store to the red carpet that guests tread upon. Models wardrobed in diamond jewelry from Chopard welcomed guests, and the night included an opera performance by Rob Weintraub, accompanied on the piano by Lin Li. The redesigned store is elegant yet contemporary, with an elliptical layout that features walls of watches and an island of jewelry.

The store also houses a workshop staffed by watchmakers and jewelers, as well as a lounge space equipped with plush seating. In addition to celebrating the store's new design,

Manfredi Jewels was also toasting its 20th anniversary. The help commemorate the event, Manfredi unveiled a limited-edition watch produced by Glashutte Original. The "Senator Meissen" timepiece comes in palladium-alloy white gold with a hand-wound mechanical movement. The watch features a blue crocodile strap, onion-shaped crown and Meissen porcelain dial with hand-painted Arabic numerals. Retailing for approximately $29,500, the one-of-a-kind timepiece has the Manfredi name and the edition number engraved on the back, and is also hand-numbered on the dial.

"Our Greenwich customers have shown tremendous support for Manfredi over the last 20 years and we are thrilled to re-open our doors with this updated setting and a renewed commitment to providing quality merchandise and excellent service for anyone who walks through our doors" Manfredi owner Roberto Chiappelloni said in a media release.

"We wish to convey a space that creates an overall luxurious experience that is comfortable, interesting and full of surprises for not only our existing clients, but also new visitors for years to come."
