Ben Bridge Opens 3,300-Square-Foot Honolulu Boutique at Ala Moana Center

Ben Bridge Jeweler's newest Honolulu location at 1450 Ala Moana Blvd. spans 3,300 square feet and does something no other store in the retailer's 36-location portfolio has done before: carve out a dedicated Mikimoto pearl space alongside a full bridal suite for its in-house engagement line, Bella Ponte.

The boutique, which opened at Ala Moana Center, carries Ben Bridge jewelry collections and timepieces by Tudor, Zenith, and Longines. The design leans deliberately into its surroundings. The Tudor section, for instance, celebrates Hawaiian surf culture through a branded surfboard display paired with dive watches, including the Tudor Black Bay. Throughout the store, the tropical setting shapes the aesthetic rather than being treated as incidental.

The Mikimoto specialty space marks a first for the Seattle-founded chain, which has operated in Hawaii for more than 35 years. Ben Bridge was founded in 1912, acquired by Berkshire Hathaway in 2000, and remains family-run under Lisa Bridge, president and CEO and the fifth generation of the Bridge family to lead the company.

The Ala Moana location is not the only new addition to Ben Bridge's Hawaii footprint. A separate 950-square-foot Tudor boutique opened at 2300 Kalakaua Ave., making it the company's fifth store in Hawaii and its first in formal partnership with Tudor in the state. Lisa Bridge led the ribbon cutting at the Kalakaua Ave. location. "We are thrilled to embark on this exciting new chapter for Ben Bridge and Tudor in Hawaii," she said. "With 112 years of watchmaking heritage, we have a profound appreciation for the quality and craftsmanship of fine watches. We cherish the longstanding relationships we have built in Hawaii and eagerly anticipate being part of many timeless moments we will share with our customers here."

The two new openings add to a Hawaii presence that already includes boutiques on Kalakaua Avenue and in the Aiea area. Two doors down from the Ala Moana store, Ben Bridge also operates a Rolex boutique, converted from a former Ben Bridge Timeworks location. The Timeworks concept, which Ben Bridge continues elsewhere, operates as dedicated watch boutiques in partnership with Rolex and Grand Seiko.

Across its full U.S. portfolio, Ben Bridge now counts 36 stores spanning seven western states, Hawaii, and Alaska. The concentration of locations in Honolulu, each with a distinct mandate, reflects a strategy of specialized retail rather than redundancy: a flagship jewelry and watch store, a bridal destination, a pearl boutique-within-a-boutique, a Rolex house, and now a standalone Tudor address.
