Four tons on a plane, our Leica Shop has arrived!

After nearly a year of planning, designing and building, our Leica "Shop 
in a Shop" has opened! We are the 2nd of such shops in the USA and the 
first on the East Coast!

The shop was custom built by guild member Jean-Charles Hilmoine in Paris 
for our store and then disassembled and flown into the USA in over 30 
containers weighing slightly over four tons!

Reassembly here was a 3 day (24-hour per day) installation marathon and 
we are loving the final product today! Jean Charles is known for his 
other Paris, London and New York stores including Cartier, La'lique, and 
Carthay.

We will be proudly displaying some exotic Leica's in this area of our 
store that you probably couldn't see all together in one place anywhere 
else in the world! Leica USA will be providing us with some unique 
collections and events, so please tune in soon for more news.

If you get to NYC, please stop by and see our new showroom with its 
little bit of Leica paradise. For those of you who don't get to New York 
(or the US at all) we will soon be featured in Leicaview magazine and I 
will be creating a little web site display so folks can see what we have 
been up to. Lots of new products coming soon too!
