Our History

Our story started in 1869 and 150 years later, and with four beautiful showrooms, our heritage still forms the basis of our values. Our showrooms in Guildford, Wilmslow and Leeds are dedicated to Rolex and each offer exceptional service, advise and guidance, ensuring you find the timepiece that best suits you.

Our Rich Heritage

For many, especially in the North West where we were founded, Prestons is their family jeweller, where generations have bought the most personal items of jewellery, wedding rings and engagement rings. Prestons became nationally famous through the 1970’s and 80’s for their national TV campaigns which promoted the unforgettable strapline ‘It’s always worth a journey to the Diamond Centre of the North’, and sold more engagement rings and wedding rings than any other jeweller in the United Kingdom.

Rolex and Prestons

The world’s leading luxury watch brand selects its retail partners with the utmost care and consideration. Prestons are proud of a relationship with Rolex that stretches back to the 1980’s. Each Prestons showroom partners with Rolex and in Leeds, our new flagship Rolex boutique has the honour of being the only Official Rolex Retailer in the city. Our passionate and knowledgeable teams are proud to always provide exemplary service when guiding you to your new Rolex watch.

The Prestons Experience

In every facet of our business we try to be the best we can. The Prestons experience is one which offers our own expertise, exceptional levels of service and 150 years of continuous history. It is this experience that makes your visit and time with us special. Our three showrooms, in Cheshire, Leeds and Surrey look forward to welcoming you.

Expertise Built Over 150 Years

The Prestons story is as relevant today as it has been over the decades. Throughout the last 150 years Prestons has continued to offer the same exceptional service which the first showroom was built upon. Our dedicated teams look forward to welcoming both you, and your loved ones, to one of our three exceptional showrooms to select your perfect timepiece.
