The newest destination for high fine jewelry and timepieces debuts at Saks Fifth Avenue New York City. Inspired by a bank, the space includes vault doors, safety deposit box-inspired sculptures, metal textures and rich leather accents.

Saks Fifth Avenue unveiled the ultimate luxury destination for high fine jewelry and watches in New York City. The 12,000 square foot department more than doubles the space dedicated to fine jewelry and watches.
