Four stories tall and decorated with bold pop artwork by Kevin T. Kelly, the Breitling booth was custom-built in Japan and featured, most conspicuously, a 31.2- by 11- by 3.4-foot aquarium that housed more than 1,000 species of jellyfish within its half-foot-thick methacrylate windows. To protect the 550 creatures living in the aquarium, a custom water-treatment system was developed—making the total weight, when filled, 62,721 pounds.

The three-story, 13,240-square-foot Rolex stand dominated the main hall. The massive beige, green, and bronze structure drew from the Rolex Oyster, the brand's best-recognized watch design. The watch's waterproof nature was represented by aquatic motifs, such as the walnut wood relief exterior, reminiscent of ripples of sand. Glass-sided walkways bridged the upper levels, one of which housed a 40-seat restaurant.
