Salloways Spring into 2012

We have been trading on Bore Street in Lichfield for 141 years and our Managing Director is Nigel Salloway, the fourth generation of the Salloway family to be at the helm. Each year we journey to Basel, Switzerland to visit the largest watch and jewellery fair worldwide, hoping to spot new trends and fresh ideas. The latest show took place in March so it is an exciting time in the showroom.

As well as travelling to shows and fairs to view new collection, representatives from major manufacturers are a regular sight in the Salloways showroom, showcasing new releases and taking part in events in store.
  

Refurb!


After a long period of speculating and not getting anywhere Nigel Salloway and his father John took the plunge and decided to have a complete refurbishment of our watch department. After two weeks of dust and noise we have been left with a wonderful light space including a dedicated Rolex sales area. We have been selling Rolex's for 25 years this year and are now the leading stockist in the Midlands area, each Rolex takes a total of 12 months to be transformed from rough materials to the technical masterpieces we see in their collection.

The refurb does not only include Rolex watches, we have a total of 7 watch brands in store each look fantastic in our new watch department, Longines and Gucci Swiss made watches feature heavily in our displays. 

Malcolm Wadlow Joins The Team 

 

Malcolm is a new addition to the team this year, a Rolex accredited watchmaker Malcolm has been at the top flight of his profession for 35 years. Coming from a watch-making family moving into the trade was always of interest to Malcolm. From the age of five when he used to sneak a peek at his dad's work bench, watch making has long been a passion for Malcolm and he spent his years teaching his rare craft to students in Manchester. Malcolm shall be on hand in store to maintain a wide range of watch brands and clocks, as well as those pocket watches which have been family heirlooms passed down through generations.
