Avi Hiaeve of Avi & Co. Celebrates Latin Music Week with Exclusive Miami Event

Avi Hiaeve, CEO and founder of Avi & Co., reflects on his journey from a dollar and a dream to building one of the world's premier luxury watch and jewelry retailers — and his deep ties to Miami's Latin music community.. Premier Guide Miami sat down to find out what that means — and what comes next.

In an interview with Premier Guide Miami, Avi Hiaeve, CEO and founder of Avi & Co., reflected on his remarkable journey to success. "I had a dream. All I needed was a dollar. They say in America all you need is a dollar and a dream, right? My dad gave me the dollar. I had the dream. I put it together."

On Tuesday, October 15, 2024, luxury watch and jewelry retailer Avi & Co. hosted an exclusive celebration at its Miami Design District location as a prelude to Latin Music Week. The event featured an impressive display of the latest luxury timepieces and jewelry, fostering an atmosphere of elegance while honoring the vibrant Latin music community.

Based in Manhattan's Diamond District, Avi & Co. operates boutique locations in New York City, Miami, and Aspen. The retailer is known for its extensive selection of prestigious Swiss brands, including Audemars Piguet, Patek Philippe, Richard Mille, and Rolex — with over 500 five-star Google reviews reflecting the trust of discerning clients.

Hiaeve, who has cultivated connections within the Latin music scene for nearly two decades, expressed his excitement: "I was introduced to this community by a friend, and since then, I've developed many valuable connections. Last year, I invited many of them to our event; some came, and others couldn't make it, but we're committed to giving back to the community."

A prominent display of the evening was the Isabel Grutman collection, a collaboration that began the previous year. "Isabella has great taste in jewelry," Hiaeve remarked. "It was a successful venture that combined our distinct styles — my focus is on heavier diamond pieces, while her aesthetic leans toward funky, everyday jewelry."

Looking ahead, Hiaeve shared exciting plans: "We just acquired a building in New York — moving our headquarters to Fifth Avenue — the Playboy building! There are a lot of good things in the works. It's the beginning of a new era. I always stay humble and remain tied to the community."

Giving back is a core value for Avi & Co. The founder supports an organization that aids widows and families in need. "We distribute food gift cards during the holidays so families can buy what they need. This year, we hope to double our impact."
