What is the history of Garrard watches?
1 Answer
1stDibs ExpertNovember 26, 2024
The history of Garrard watches began with master silversmith George Wickes, who founded the company in 1735 and quickly gained a regal platform with patronage from Frederick, Prince of Wales. The company underwent a range of name changes and shifts in leadership over the years, with Robert Garrard becoming a partner in 1792. He assumed sole control of the firm a decade later and eventually passed the company down to his sons: James, Sebastian and Robert Garrard II. It would remain in the Garrard family until 1946 with the death of Robert's great-grandson. Garrard Co. Ltd. registered its current name in 1909. Despite a temporary merger and relocation with Asprey, the firm still operates out of its original location on Albermarle Street in London. Garrard created silver, tableware and decorative objects for the royal family, as well as the Crown Jewels for a range of coronations, beginning with King Edward VII in 1902. The company parted ways with the royal family in 2017 but continues to produce watches and jewelry. Find a collection of watches on 1stDibs.

How do I identify Robert Maxwell pottery?
1 Answer
1stDibs ExpertNovember 13, 2024
