King George II was still on the throne when James Gatwards first opened his doors for business in Hitchin in 1760 as a watch and clockmaker. Today Gatwards is in its 7th generation making it one of the oldest family jewellers in England.

Throughout its long history and changing times and fashions, Gatwards has remained a very personal business, paying great attention to detail and quality. We source the finest products worldwide to find the individual and unusual pieces our discerning clientele expect.
