Since opening its doors at 1 King Street in 1900, Hettich has well and truly become a cherished island institution. Four generations of the same family have shaped the business over the decades, and it continues to hold a special place in the hearts of many islanders. The business has witnessed changing styles, shifting tastes, and the evolution of retail itself, yet through it all, Hettich has remained a constant: trusted, timeless, and deeply rooted in the fabric of Jersey life. And now, as the world continues to evolve, so too does Hettich.
At the heart of this exciting new chapter is the brand’s elegant new flagship store, which opened its doors at 2-4 King Street in February 2025. Weaving Art Deco elegance with contemporary luxury, the space has been lovingly restored and thoughtfully reimagined, with every detail considered to honour the landmark building’s 1930s architectural roots. The result is a refined and welcoming environment that speaks to both heritage and modern sophistication.
The ground floor is dedicated to two of the world’s most revered watchmakers, Rolex and Patek Philippe. Each has its own luxurious setting, offering customers an elevated and immersive brand experience. Ascending the stunning spiral staircase brings visitors to a lavish jewellery showroom, where ornate chandeliers and warm lighting cast a gentle glow over beautifully presented collections and softly upholstered seating areas that encourage visitors to take their time.
But this new store is not simply about scale, it’s about vision. It marks the beginning of a much larger ambition: to reimagine how jewellery is encountered, experienced, and cherished. For generations, Hettich has been trusted to mark life’s most meaningful milestones, and that commitment is at the heart of this transformation. A dedicated bridal area has been created with that in mind, designed to offer couples an intimate and memorable experience as they choose the rings that will represent their love and commitment.
This year also saw the launch of Hettich’s new signature jewellery collections on their recently launched website, embodying the bold and elegant expression of the house’s evolving design philosophy. From timeless diamond classics to more contemporary styles with clean lines and confident details, each piece has been thoughtfully curated and crafted in-house to celebrate individuality, fine craftsmanship, and lasting beauty. These are pieces to be worn, gifted, and treasured for generations to come.
Looking to the future, Hettich is preparing to celebrate more defining moments. The original store at 1 King Street will once again take centre stage, with exciting plans for its revitalisation to be unveiled later this year. While the finer details remain under wraps, whispers of something quietly momentous are beginning to circulate. A brand with a legacy as rich and enduring as Hettich’s is set to join the story, and though all will be revealed in time, one thing is certain: timing is everything.
The Hettich story is about legacy and evolution, craftsmanship and community. It’s a family business that honours its past while looking confidently to the future. As this new chapter unfolds, Hettich continues to offer beautiful pieces, meaningful experiences, and a warm welcome. They invite you to be part of the journey and create new memories with them.
