AP House Manchester is now open on King Street
Welcome to AP House Manchester a refined sanctuary of Swiss horology and modern luxury nestled in the heart of King Street. From an elegantly restored Victorian townhouse emerges a new destination where craftsmanship, culture, and comfort converge.
A Heritage Reimagined
Housed in a Grade II-listed, three-storey Georgian townhouse, AP House remains faithful to the architectural character of King Street while seamlessly blending contemporary Swiss elegance. Inside, clean minimalism meets local flair: oak floors, high ceilings, and intimate seating areas embody the brand’s identity and its Manchester context.
