The person behind the pieces

Our story

A long standing passion for watchmaking and jewellery, shaped by personal relationships and a worldwide view.

Meet Gareth Stephens

Built on a love of the details.

Gareth Stephens has spent decades in the watch and jewellery industry, working across New Zealand, Australia, the United States, and Switzerland. His career began in jewellery retail, where he developed a particular interest in helping clients source and design individual pieces.

That interest grew alongside a deep appreciation for Swiss watchmaking. Gareth went on to manage a specialist watch store in Auckland, building relationships with clients and makers, and visiting Swiss factories to see the craft first hand.

Today, JewelWatch brings that experience into a more personal setting: sourcing new and pre-owned watches worldwide and creating handmade jewellery with skilled local craftspeople.
