Pragnell and Rolex
Our History
Pragnell is a sixth-generation family jeweller. Our founder, George Pragnell, declared that "our knowledge is your safeguard" and, as one of the only family-owned, full-service jewellers in the UK, it is a statement that still rings true today: ensuring that the Pragnell name continues to symbolise our innate commitment to quality.
A Rich and royal Heritage
George Pragnell was fortunate enough to look after Queen Mary when she visited Biggs of Maidenhead and Farnham throughout the 1930s and late 1940s. After he established his own showroom in Stratford-upon-Avon, the company flourished and, through marriage and merger, now encompasses George Tarratt (est.1915), Philip Antrobus (est.1815) and Waters & Blott (est.1850). Today, the company remains under the direction of family members Charlie Pragnell, Tom Crookenden and Hugo Blott. The business has three UK showrooms and extensive archives, including the original sketches of Queen Elizabeth II’s engagement ring and the Antrobus bracelet gifted to her by Prince Philip on their wedding day.
Rolex and Pragnell
It is the values of quality and service that have united Pragnell and Rolex in their relentless pursuit of perfection over the years. For over half a century, Pragnell has been proud to be an Official Rolex Retailer, upholding and championing the exacting standards of the Swiss watchmaker. It is thanks to this enduring close partnership that Pragnell is able to provide an extensive selection of Rolex models across our showrooms located, in Stratford-upon-Avon, Leicester and in the heart of London’s Mayfair.
