When the founder of this company, Dean Bernand made his regular visits to church in Knightsbridge, London, he would often stop to admire the luxury of the area. Home to some of Britain’s wealthiest and most influential people, this place is where the magnificence is on full display, and the founder of Bernand London soaked it all in. That was back in 2016 and years since then, Dean’s vision has been expanded by those regular visits.
While having breakfast at one of the popular cafe’s on Brompton road, Dean noticed a pattern. Every hand that was holding a cup of coffee or a fork, was decorated by a Swiss watch, each more beautiful than the last one. This image stuck with Dean and it made him realize that he wanted to help others to get a piece of what these wealthy people had.
Passionate about making watches and about e-commerce, Dean has launched his own brand, and in time turned it into something that is now known as the Knightsbridge Collections. This collection stands for affordable luxury, timeless timepieces that everyone can cherish.
