About Watts 1858

W.E.Watts (Jewellers) Ltd is a family owned business which was established in 1858 by William Edward Watts who specialised in the production and selling of branded pocket watches and provision of time keeping equipment to the sailors and coast guards of Gloucestershire. It is currently located in the Cornmarket in the heart of Derby's thriving Cathedral Quarter after a move from St James’ Street 8 years ago. The new shop is much larger which allows for a more personal service.
