Harrods believes that a visit to its jewellery and watch rooms is something that should be savoured and enjoyed

In total 35 fine watch brands will be on offer across 18,000 square feet of retail space, showcasing the world’s very best from classic designs to innovative and futuristic complications.
A masculine space has been created for the interior of the new fine watch room.
Black marble, sculpted and etched glass and modern, minimalist display cabinets fuse beautifully with an original ceiling that dates back to the middle of the last century.
Even the carpet itself has been carefully considered, created in Sweden, imprinted with vinyl and luxurious and soft so that if an item may be accidentally dropped it won’t be damaged.
Panels hang from sections of the ceiling featuring a pattern made of individual watch parts, further enhancing the atmosphere of the new room.
