Since 1789, the diamond expertise of Backes & Strauss has spanned the globe. Archives dating from the 19th century show orders for Backes & Strauss jewels which adorned European royalty.

The collaboration between Backes & Strauss and the work shops of expert Swiss watchmaker Franck Muller, has produced a collection of unerringly elegant, intricate fine timepieces, embelished with diamonds, custom cut into unique shapes, polished and then hand set to perfection.

History & HeritageFour Backes & Strauss watch collections reflect the company’s London origins – The Berkeley, The Piccadilly, The Regent and Victoria. Crafted in a choice of 18 carat white or rose gold and set with diamonds, these are watches inspired by the smooth symmetry and grandeur of London’s Regency architecture, in particular the work of 18th century landscape architect William Kent and the architect John Nash for the Prince Regent. In the Victoria collection an intertwined heart motif alludes to Queen Victoria’s everlasting love for her husband Albert.

Every round, brilliant diamond used at Backes & Strauss is an Ideal Cut diamond, designed to emanate optimum fire and brilliance. The perfect symmetry and proportions of an Ideal Cut diamond ensure that the light entering the stone refracts internally from 57 precisely placed facets and travels out through the top of the diamond, creating a mesmerising sparkle.

We work with only the highest specification diamonds. Every diamond at Backes & Strauss is a D, E or F colour and internally flawless with only a very, very slight inclusion.

Perfect SymmetryThe most beautiful objects in nature and in art possess symmetry, and so it is with beautifully cut diamonds.

The ultimate test of Backes & Strauss expertise in diamond cutting is the Hearts and Arrows motif. Hearts and Arrows diamonds are the most brilliant and magnificent Ideal Cut diamonds.

During hundreds of hours of meticulous planning, precision cutting and hand polishing by Backes & Strauss diamond experts, a natural stone makes the way from its rough form to a final polished brilliant diamond often losing up to 60 per cent of its original weight in the process.

Every Backes & Strauss watch comes with its own Hearts and Arrows viewer, a testament to our dedication to perfection.

Backes & Strauss and The Franck Muller Group are masters of the art and science of their respective crafts. While Backes & Strauss is occupied with light and Franck Muller is concerned with time, both share a devotion to mathematical precision.

The dial and case of a Backes & Strauss watch reflects the geometric symmetry of the Ideal Cut. Within the beating heart of the watch, the elaborately crafted movements convey a jewel-like beauty,

The result of this meeting of masters is a collection of timepieces so intricate, they are veritable masterpieces both inside and out.

The Jewel in the CrownEvery Backes & Strauss watch has at least one diamond hand set into the crown. This jewel in the crown is our signature. It is designed to resemble the pavillion, or base, of a diamond.

Perfection is in the detailAs masters of diamonds, Backes & Strauss has created a watch dial inspired by the craft of diamond setting. Numerals and indexes are polished and set by hand, echoing the diamonds on each Backes & Strauss timepiece. On an inner circle on the watch dial indicating the seconds, small pyramids suggest the shape of polished diamonds.

The Regent collection takes as its starting point the architecture of John Nash, who in 1811 was commissioned by the Prince Regent to design a huge swathe of London, then known as Marylebone Park. The classical proportions of Nash’s work across London, from Regent Street, to Regent’s Park and St James’s Park, are found in the sweeping curves and bold symmetry of the Backes & Strauss Regent collection.

The Berkeley collection takes inspiration from one of London’s great squares, with its spacious, leafy garden in the centre of bustling Mayfair. Originally laid out in the 18th century by Palladian master and landscape architect William Kent, Berkeley Square’s picturesque plane trees were planted in 1789, the year Backes & Strauss began trading. Berkeley Square has since become a famously romantic spot, featuring in the 1970s love song A Nightingale Sang in Berkeley Square.

The Piccadilly collection is inspired by John Nash’s grand circular junction, Piccadilly Circus, the epicentre of London ever since it was built in 1819. Originally named Regent Circus South, Nash created Piccadilly Circus to complement Oxford Circus, then known as Regent Circus North, which was located at the other end of the sweeping street Nash had designed, Regent Street. Piccadilly Circus also linked Nash’s dramatic vision, which was the height of modern fashion with the neighbourhood of Piccadilly, the bastion of traditional style. This elegant confluence of old and new lies at the heart of the Backes & Strauss Piccadilly collection.

Drawn from the Backes & Strauss archives, a 19th century brooch with two linked hearts was the starting point for today’s Backes & Strauss sumptuous Victoria diamond watches. Those linked hearts are now fully intertwined and they have become their own motif, repeated again and again in a circle of everlasting love, like that of Queen Victoria for her husband Albert. She was so smitten with him, she proposed the second time they met.
