Bailey Banks & Biddle Park Plaza Mall

I’m a watch nerd, and the Galleria Bailey Banks & Biddle is on my short list of places to stop and look at very interesting pieces.
(FYI: If your idea of a high-​end watch is a Rolex, then this is not the right store for you.)
They carry some amazing watches from Vacheron Constantin, Breguet, Corum, IWC, Zenith, and a host of other brands. They get road shows from manufacturers, where you can see some truly amazing watches that are one of only a handful produced.
If you are a watch enthusiast, stop by. You’ll be glad you did. (And then walk down to Tourneau, the other great watch store in the Galleria.)

It is strange for a fine jewelery store to take care of customers the way that Bailey Banks and Biddle does. I’m welcomed by warm hugs from our saleslady everytime I walk in. They have a huge collection of jewelery (including a very extensive bridal collection), home décor (I love Annie Glass) and of course the watches. They are kind of a flagship store for watches within the corporation with people flying in from all around the world to come see what they have in stock. They can get really hard to find pieces of companies that you wouldn’t believe. They host all sorts of fun events and fund raisers (I got to meet the head of Corum watches when they did a collaboration with the Bayou Bends Museum). They are well versed in all their products (not just one line).
I’m a fan of this location, mostly because of the extensive watch collection and the size of the store. There is plenty of room to walk around and chairs for tired shoppers. A nice incentive to bribe that special someone into the store for hints.
