    Been to this shop three times over the years and I just can't get enough of the amazing quality and…read moredesigns of their rock n roll inspired jewelry and pieces. This location is very easy to find as it's off the main drag of Carnaby street just off to the side. The black paint and signage make it easy to spot. The inside was clean and not overdone so you can really focus on the pieces there. I've always wanted a piece from here but was apprehensive because of the prices (I'm just cheap, the pieces are quality and reasonable for the craftsmanship) but mainly because since all of the pieces are custom made to your size, the items need to be shipped. Told myself for years I'd just go to their Los Angeles store but never did. It's so much more special getting a piece here though as the Great Frog originated here. Staff member named Jaws helped me out and was a lovely human being. Approachable and helpful, not pushy but made me feel good about my purchase. Walked me through sizing me for a ring and talked prices and shipping. Also was friendly that we got off topic talking about life and overall just a nice person who made the experience A+. I'm so happy with my rock n roll ring purchase that I'll be a fan going forward. If you love badass jewelry with a rock n roll edge and history, this shop is the one for you.

    The Great Frog has been a Soho institution for as long as I can remember - and that's a bloody long…read moretime now. My heart sank when I saw the original shop front in Ganton Street boarded up on a post-lockdown visit to Central London. Turns out, they just moved to a new location around the corner in Newburgh Street - phew! With quite a queue outside as well, so the future seems secure. This is the original rock'n'roll jeweller and famous for its collection of skull rings.

    On my visit to London back before the pandemic...i visited during a time when there was a little…read morebit of a heat wave...I guess usually Europe isn't usually hot like I'm used to in Los Angeles so a lot of places don't have Air conditioning...luckily in this warm day this watch shop does have AC so it was even more inviting The people are friendly but they didn't seem as attentive...maybe because my bf and I look younger and we were dressed very casually? Anyways...bf was looking around for a specific strap for his watch I guess he found through their website.. They had lots of different brands of watches...I'm not a big watch person so I'm kind of going off what my bf said and he thoroughly liked the store He said he would recommend the place And as a side note...first world problems...but they didn't offer any water or anything like other watch stores we've visited before lol but that wouldn't deter us from visiting again if ever back

    I have wanted a stainless, white faced Rolex Daytona for years…read more Like everyone else, I could never find one. Well, one that wasn't used or selling at a massive premium (50%) to Rolex MSRP, which is never a good feeling, so I always declined. Until one Monday afternoon my wife and I walked past the Wempe Boutique on Bond Street and just for a laugh, thought we'd take our chances and asked a question that usually elicits nothing from the person behind the counter but a smile or sarcastic remark. Except today we got a 'Let me see...' and with that, my hopes up. Then this smiling german man walks in our direction with a white face stainless, on a felt tray, a day from the factory and tells me (with a smirk on his face) that they cannot sell for more than Rolex MSRP, and that with my passport, I will also get 20% VAT back on it when I fly home to the US. My credit card practically bounced off the counter. From fitting my wrist to explaining service, even automatically calculating and filing my VAT refund in advance - the service, style and overall experience we had at Wempe was just what you expect from a legendary jeweler on Old Bond Street in Mayfair. They also seem to get strong Rolex allocation, so if you are looking for a rare or hard to find new Rolex model, this should be a good place to start. Danke.
