Special notes: Gübelin specialised in very small runs of watches for their clientele, usually using movements from companies such as jaeger Le Coultre. It also continued making and repairing fine watches for a discerning clientele, developing a reputation that soon reached throughout Europe and overseas. In the 1920s Gübelin opened its own jewellery atelier and at the same time set up a small gemmological laboratory so that it could test and be sure of the authenticity of the stones its jewellers used. Gübelin has grown from a small watchmaker’s shop in Lucerne to an internationally operating luxury brand. Over time the business grew, moving to ever-larger locations in the city, until finally settling in the prime site on the quay that still houses Gübelin’s Lucerne boutique today. The story of Gübelin began in 1854 with the opening of a small watchmaker’s shop in the Swiss city of Lucerne. The timepiece may have been opened, so it should not be used near moisture or water without being checked by a qualified watchmaker.īackground to Gübelin: The Swiss, family-owned House of Gübelin is known for its exquisite high-end jewellery, gemstone expertise, and as purveyors of some of today’s most sought-after luxury watch brands.
