Los Angeles has more stores than anyone could physically tackle, but somehow we always keep returning to the usual suspects. To break out of the rut, we've asked some local shopping and fashion gurus to provide their hidden retail gems—those unique stores around LA that we might not all know about. Cue the Beatles: We're about to get a little help from our friends.

Kamal Hotchandani is the CEO of Haute Living, a magazine that deems itself the premier luxury resource for consumers. Here, the ever-fashionable Hotchandani reveals his favorite spot in WeHo for rare timepieces.
"Westime is like none other in the industry as they have over 40 brands under one roof. They also have very unique, one-of-a-kind men's accessories like Richard Mille cufflinks or Buben & Zorweg watch safes that run over $150,000. Being a big watch lover, it is great to see Westime carry smaller brands such as Urwerk, Graham, MB&F, HYT and Greubel Forsey. What Collette is to fashion in Paris, Westime is to watch world in US. It's a truly amazing buying experience."
