About Us...

Hi, we are Jon, Julia and Richard Barker and our jewelery and watch business dates back to 1991 when we first established ourselves as one of North Devon's most distinguished retailers of watches and jewelery.

For more than a 20 years Century Galleries has been known for the superior quality of its jewelery, watches and attention to detail in everything from presentation of our products to customer service. We have a policy of providing an excellent service and this policy is upheld by everyone who works for us.

We have particular expertise in fine watches and diamond jewelery, we stock the watches from all the leading Swiss watch manufacturers; our stock list typically includes well-known brands such as Rolex, Breitling, Cartier, Chanel, Patek Philippe, Chopard, Bulgari and Omega (and if we can't meet your requirements from stock we can usually meet the requirements of the most demanding of clients within a short period of time).

We can also offer jewelery and watch repair service. The cleaning and restorative work on valued pieces is carried by our team of experienced staff. Our comprehensive service covers everything from re-stringing pearls, replacing a watch strap or battery through, full watch service and pressure test to replacing lost diamonds and gemstones, all to ensure that you can enjoy your treasured pieces for longer.
