Jonathan Gilbert of Edinburgh Watch Company Retires After a Decade of Excellence
After ten remarkable years in the luxury watch trading industry, Jonathan Gilbert, founder of the Edinburgh Watch Company, has announced his retirement, marking the end of an era for watch enthusiasts across the UK and beyond. From its base in Edinburgh, the company has spent a decade delighting customers with a passion for horology, offering a curated selection of exquisite timepieces and unparalleled service. Gilbert’s decision to close the doors of his beloved business is bittersweet (for us), but his legacy in the world of luxury watches will endure.
In a statement on the company’s website, Gilbert reflected on the journey: “After a wonderful ten years in business where we have so enjoyed helping our customers with their luxury watches, we have now decided to retire and our doors are closed.” It’s clear that his focus was always on the joy of connecting people with the perfect watch, a mission that earned the Edinburgh Watch Company a loyal following.
But this isn’t the end for the stunning collection Gilbert meticulously curated. The watches have found a new home at BQ Watches London, a prestigious destination for horological treasures. Alongside their extensive inventory, BQ Watches will proudly showcase Edinburgh Watch Company’s pristine timepieces. The team at BQ Watches is ready to step in, offering expert services from servicing and repairs to purchasing, selling, or part-exchanging luxury watches.
As Jonathan Gilbert steps into a well-deserved retirement, his influence on the industry and his customers’ collections will not be forgotten. Here’s to a decade of elegance—and to new beginnings at BQ Watches.
