About Beyer Watches & Jewellery
Beyer, at Bahnhofstrasse 31, calls itself the world’s oldest watch shop, founded in 1760 and run by eight generations of the family. By its own account it “will undergo a transformation by the end of 2026”: from the start of 2027 its historic premises on the Bahnhofstrasse will be taken over by Patek Philippe and continue as an exclusive Patek Philippe salon.
