Watchmaking and art have much in common, the necessity of perfection, the ultimate of sentimental expressions and the opportunity to become a cornerstone for the works after.

A key essence of this colour is the inimitable contrast it creates with everything surrounding it. At Backes & Strauss, we have personified this element with our exclusive range of black stainless-steel watches.

London is full of iconic places, as well as surprises and mysteries. 230-year old British luxury brand located just in the heart of Bond Street is one of those must-see spots, hidden from the map.

Deeply rooted in British concept of luxury, London-based diamond watchmaking brand is taking a step towards partnering with the royalty to create the unique watch collection.

Backes & Strauss has a long history of creating tourillon watches with skeleton movements. Please welcome the newcomer - Piccadilly King Tourbillon.

For many great watchmakers the watch comes first, the diamonds a distant second. What if the brand attains the bejewelled heights first?

Prince Michael and Backes & Strauss are partnering to honour the excellence in British craftsmanship and unique skills required to make their very high-end timepieces.
