From the finest diamonds to the most technically advanced timepieces, The Royal Exchange is a haven for watches and jewellery that is unrivalled in the Square Mile. Next week, its annual celebration of the two returns, with a chance to get acquainted with the latest releases, as well as delve deeper into the inner workings of these mechanical wonders.
Watch & Jewellery Week, from 3-7 October, will see the central courtyard transformed into a showcase for collections from the boutiques housed within the historic building. Pre-owned specialists Watchfinder & Co and Watches of Switzerland will bring together pieces from a diverse range of brands, while items from Bremont, Georg Jensen, Montblanc, Omega and Tiffany & Co will also be on display.
Watchfinder & Co will draw on its expertise in servicing a wide array of timepieces to lead a watchmaking masterclass from 12-2pm on 3 October. This hands-on session will explore the intricacies of a watch movement and demonstrate the precision and skill needed to manoeuvre the miniscule components. Places can be reserved via the Royal Exchange's website.
