For over two decades, Patek Philippe and Laings have worked in partnership to bring the finest Swiss watchmaking to showrooms across the UK. Masters of their craft, Patek Philippe have celebrated horology as an art form since 1839, transforming the wristwatch into a timeless heirloom to be passed down through generations. As the last family-owned independent watch manufacturer in Geneva, Patek Philippe upholds an unwavering reverence for heritage and tradition. Laings, a family business since 1840, is proud to share in this philosophy - a partnership defined by a mutual dedication to craftsmanship, legacy, and the pursuit of timeless excellence.
"Our enduring relationship with Patek Philippe, spanning over two decades, is a testament to the exceptional service and client satisfaction that we at Laings pride ourselves on. It is an honour to offer our clients the unparalleled craftsmanship of this iconic brand. We are always delighted to welcome clients into our showrooms, where they can experience the historic complications and innovative evolution that define Patek Philippe."
Proudly representing Patek Philippe in Glasgow and Southampton, Laings continues to nurture its longstanding partnership with the brand, ensuring every client enjoys an exceptional and immersive experience. Each member of the Laings team undergoes rigorous training through the official Patek Philippe program, equipping them with in-depth knowledge of the craftsmanship and heritage behind each timepiece.
With this expertise, our specialists are perfectly positioned to guide clients through their journey, offering personalised insights into the unique intricacies of each watch. Dedicated Patek Philippe areas within each showroom, supported by experienced watch managers and brand experts, create a refined environment where clients can fully immerse themselves in the world of Patek Philippe.
In 2021, Patek Philippe and Laings strengthened their longstanding partnership by introducing the esteemed brand to Cardiff for the very first time. This landmark moment marked a significant development for luxury watch access in Wales, as Laings unveiled a dedicated Patek Philippe area within its St David’s showroom.
Designed to reflect the elegance and heritage of the brand, the space features warm wood finishes, marble flooring, and the iconic Patek Philippe clocks, creating an immersive environment that mirrors the Maison’s global aesthetic. The showroom presents a curated selection of highly sought-after ladies’ and gents’ timepieces, allowing clients in Wales to experience the craftsmanship and legacy of one of the world’s most revered watchmakers.
This elevated setting not only celebrates the artistry of Patek Philippe but also further cements Laings as a revered retailer of the brand. Supported by a team of trained experts, Cardiff clients are able to enjoy Patek Philippe timepieces in a setting of sophistication and refinement for the very first time.
As the distinguished collections of Patek Philippe continue to evolve, Laings is honoured to showcase the latest creations through a series of exclusive exhibitions within our showrooms.
