Avi & Co. has officially opened its latest watch boutique in Aspen, Colorado. This third location is a welcome addition, expanding our presence alongside our existing locations in vibrant New York City and sunny Miami.
Nestled in Colorado's Rocky Mountains, Aspen is a charming town renowned for its ski resort and year-round outdoor activities. The area boasts upscale dining spots, chic boutiques, and historic landmarks like the Wheeler Opera House, a gem from
Making its grand appearance, The Frosted Collection is an exciting new addition to Avi & Co.’s Limited Edition series of watches. Featuring a unique finish to both the case and integrated bracelet, this timepiece maintains the majestic diamond bezel and dial design featured in the original Iced Collection.
Not only does Avi & Co. sell luxury watch brands such as Richard Mille, Patek Philippe, Audemars Piguet, and Rolex, but the brand is proud
Picture it: you’re driving down 36th Street toward the Midtown Tunnel. On your trip, you see an epic Avi & Co. billboard featuring pristine-cut jewelry surrounded by a beautiful diamond-pave timepiece. This is the view that Avi Hiaeve, CEO of Avi & Co., dreamt of since he was young. Now, he can enjoy it as he drives to work while donning that very same timepiece featured 60 feet up. As an immigrant from Israel, his journey continues to grow with each achievement in the diamond jewelry
Aspen, Colorado, known for its illustrious winter sports, breathtaking scenery, and high-end boutiques, is the ideal location for Avi & Co. to launch an exclusive boutique.
On September 14th, Avi Hiaeve, founder and CEO, officially closed the deal on Avi & Co.’s third location. “I’m feeling nervous,” he told me. “Nervous. Happy. Excited. Worried. It’s a mixture of a lot of feelings, but I’m mostly excited. I can’t wait.”
In addition to selling limited edition watches at Avi & Co., we create jewelry fit for Kings and Queens. We proudly design what you want with as many GIA certified diamonds as you need. Let’s take a look at the process that goes into creating custom jewelry, as well as some jewelry we have already designed for some legendary celebrities. While we’re at it, let’s jump through time to get a sneak peek at some of the latest additions to Watches by Avi & Co.!
Trying to grab Avi is like trying to catch a cheetah. He’s always on the move: flying from the Big Apple to the Design District, in business meetings, appointments with customers, and spending time with his family.
How are you staying so calm during all of this? I wonder as I jokingly point out his tapping feet. With a million things happening at the same time, the emails that kept accruing during our interview, it’s no wonder Avi has a lot on his mind. “Both of my phones don’t stop ringing,” he laughs, just as his phone mockingly proceeds to ring.
Dual time watches are equipped with two hour hands to indicate two different time zones. The primary hour hand must be independently adjustable by hour increments, and the second-hour hand indicates 12 or 24 hours. They are more complicated than a GMT because they move on two subdials, however, both serve the same purpose.
The difference between a dual time watch and a GMT watch is usually the scale. A dual time watch has a 12-hour scale, while a GMT watch has a 24-hour scale. Most dual time watches have a day/night indicator, and a hand that can be adjusted more easily than a GMT watch.
Avi & Co. cut the ribbon in front of their second paradise-infused boutique on May 4th, 2023. A family-owned, highly trusted luxury watch retailer, Avi & Co. sells hard-to-find timepieces such as Richard Mille, Patek Philippe
By now, you know Avi’s backstory - how he moved to New York City from Israel with his family when he was 14 years old. How he wanted to own his own business at 16 with the experience he gained from working since he was 10. How the only English he knew when he arrived here was yes and no.
I wanted to sit down with Avi in a more professional, yet intimate setting. Interview him in a way that didn’t talk about the story we already know and admire. I wanted to get to know the man behind the jewelry industry in a more up close and personal setting with questions that have been on my mind, the teams, and you too – on camera and 100% real.
Before the interview began in Avi & Co.’s upscale, trendy showroom, Avi looked over to his mom (who watched
Avi and Co. is a family-owned business with one of the most highly trusted luxury watch retailers located in the heart of the Diamond District in Manhattan. They sell hard-to-find timepieces that are true investment pieces with great value and can be passed down for generations.
Avi is a business owner, an entrepreneur, a father and a brother. As an entrepreneur, he sells high end watches, creates custom pieces for celebrities, sells to jewelers in the wholesale industry, and he has a manufacturer where they set diamonds for pieces. Basically, he does a little bit of everything that has to do with the luxury world. But, before Avi was able to build this reliable company so near and dear to New York City’s Diamond District, he first had to make his way over here.
As I sat down to chat with Avi, he recalls moving to New York from Israel with his family when he was just 14 years old. When he arrived,
