History
[edit]T.H. Baker was founded by Thomas Henry Baker, a watchmaker and jeweller from Calne in Wiltshire. The first store was opened in Brierley Hill, where the company is still based over 125 years later. The company is still a family business five generations later,[1] owned by great grandson Alan Higgs and his sons Andrew and Phillip Higgs.
The business now has a network of 21 stores across the UK, located throughout the Midlands and southern England including recently established PANDORA stores.[2] T.H. Baker specialises in diamonds and watches, stocking brands such as Breitling, Omega, Gucci, Tag Heuer and Thomas Sabo.
In 2005, T.H. Baker launched The Jewel Hut, a website focusing on designer jewellery and watches. In 2010 the company launched an official T.H. Baker website specialising in luxury jewellery and watches, before later launching a third site, House of Watches in 2014.
