Leicester showroom and workshops unveiled by jeweller

Jeweller Pragnell has now opened a new Leicester showroom and a space for ITS watch and jewellery workshops.

Situated over two floors, ITS new showroom is located on Market Street.

The ground floor houses watch brands including, Rolex and Patek Philippe, while the showroom features two workshops for Pragnell’s goldsmiths and watchmakers.

Inside the showroom, visitors can observe the goldsmiths at work, setting gemstones and crafting some of the world’s finest jewellery.

Pragnell backs watch workshop technician development through its apprenticeship program and currently employs two Rolex-certified watch technicians and two more will join them in October, all working from the new Rolex-accredited workshop within the showroom.

Pragnell managing director Charlie Pragnell said: “This family-owned jeweller, formerly and beautifully run by the Tarratt family, has served the local community from Market Street in Leicester since 1913 and begins this new chapter 110 years later. With a great heritage of craftsmanship in the locality and wider area, it is here we decided to invest in our state-of-the-art expanded watch and jewellery workshops. This supports the resurgence of appreciation for human craftmanship and nature’s wonders that we are now witnessing in this country and around the world – long may it continue!”.
