About The Watches of Switzerland Group
The Watches of Switzerland Group is proud to be the largest distributor in the world of luxury brands such as Omega, Tag Heuer and Gucci. It is also the UK's largest distributor for Rolex, Cartier and Breitling. We pride ourselves on the excellent product range and unrivalled service that we provide across our brands.
In the UK we are the largest prestige and luxury jewellers and our portfolio of brands include Watches of Switzerland, Mappin & Webb, Goldsmiths, WatchShop and The Watch Lab.
In 2017 we acquired Mayors Jewellers who have 18 locations across Florida and Georgia and soon after we also opened our first Watches of Switzerland Store in the Wynn Resort in Las Vegas as well as the largest Rolex Boutique in the US.
Late 2018 will see Watches of Switzerland opening the first Store on the East coast of America on Greene Street, Soho, New York shortly followed in Spring 2019 with another Store opening in Hudson Yards, Manhattan - the largest private real estate development in the history of the US.
Our mission is to be the best luxury watch and jewelry retailer in the markets that serve us.
Differentiated by the expertise of our teams, our customer experiences and our products, we will create memories to last a lifetime.
