Vartkess Knadjian

Welcome to London and to the House of Backes & Strauss.

Backes & Strauss holds a special place within the global pantheon of diamonds and fine horology.

Established in 1789, we are the worlds oldest diamond company with a vast heritage, selling diamonds to a
wealth of clients from Bulgari to Jacques Cartier. From humble beginnings to the ultimate bejewelled
timepiece creator, Backes & Strauss is celebrated as a pioneer in innovative diamond cutting techniques and
creative jewellery designs.

The timepieces you see at the House of Backes & Strauss mark a meeting of masters; being part of the Franck
Muller Group, our bejewelled timepieces offer an opportunity for highest quality diamonds to be exhibited
in exquisite watch form.

We warmly welcome you to the House of Backes & Strauss. In spite of our global presence with boutiques in
Hong Kong, Singapore and Tokyo, the home resides here in London where our quintessentially English
identity was born.

We are delighted to exclusively host you and reveal the treasures that the world of Backes & Strauss has to
offer. We sincerely hope you enjoy this rare and unique discovery.
