A prestigious partnership: Michael Spiers becomes sole Rolex retailer in Exeter

Luxury South West jewellery and watch retailer, Michael Spiers, has become the official retailer for Rolex in Exeter. 

Now the city’s sole stockist of the most prestigious brand of watches in the world, Michael Spiers is cementing its reputation as the region’s pre-eminent watch and jewellery specialist.

As one of the few truly collectible and covetable luxury watch brands, Rolex has produced timeless and iconic watches since the early 1900s. Michael Spiers will offer a large selection of Rolex watches for both men and women when the partnership launches this weekend.

The newly refurbished showroom on Castle Street, which reopened on 5 October, is managed by John Meiris who has more than 20 years experience selling fine jewellery and watches. Visitors will be treated to a ‘Rolex experience’ within the store; with a luxurious section dedicated to the brand and a striking collection of timepieces on display, including the iconic Submariner watch. 

From Tuesday 29 October to Friday 1 November there will be the opportunity for customers to have an exclusive preview of new Rolex models launched at Baselworld 2013 before they become available for sale.  Baselworld is the world’s biggest watch and jewellery event, held annually in Switzerland where leading brands showcase their finest products and new innovations.

Adam Spiers, Director of Michael Spiers, said: “We are delighted to welcome Rolex to our Exeter branch. We have a long and successful partnership with Rolex, already being the official brand retailers in Truro, Plymouth and Taunton.  We are very proud to extend this partnership to include our Exeter store.

“These watches are the pinnacle of luxury, design and elegance. They stand the test of time both in terms of style and quality of workmanship, which makes them the most desirable of timepieces. It is a real pleasure to be able to offer our clients the finest and most sought after Swiss watch in the world.”

Michael Spiers has been a firm fixture on the Exeter high street for 14 years. The successful family jewellery business has been established for over 60 years, with stores in Exeter, Plymouth, Truro and Taunton, plus workshops in Plymouth where the majority of its own unique jewellery is created.

Across its network of South West stores, Michael Spiers stocks an impressive array of watch brands – suitable for all budgets and tastes – including Rolex, Patek Philippe, OMEGA, Breitling, Tag Heuer, Bell & Ross, and Tissot.
