Policy?
Was there earlier this week and was told that due to a new policy as of two months ago they cannot sell any watch to a foreign customer (I’m American) they do not have a pre-existing relationship with.

This is correct, the information is now also available online for both the London and Paris Salons, with a phone number and email address if you would like to reserve an appointment:
