Duckworth Prestex Watches
Duckworth Prestex aims to create practical, affordable and innovative
watches that are suitable for everyday wear, suitable for any occasion
and built to last a lifetime. These new watches draw inspiration from
the original Prestex models and are designed in England to honour
the brand’s heritage.
A Brand Reborn
Duckworth Prestex may sound like a new name, but it goes back a
very long way in the history of watchmaking. Almost 100 years, in
fact. For the founder of Duckworth Prestex and the man who
originally brought Tag Heuer to the UK in the 1980s, Neil Duckworth,
this is a very personal story. Preston's, Neil’s family firm founded in
1869 in Bolton, initially specialised in pocket watches under the
Prestex name. These timepieces gained worldwide acclaim and
success throughout the 1920s. In the following decades, Prestex
expanded its offerings to include a range of timepieces, including
chronographs, pocket watches and elegant dress watches. In 1948,
Gordon Duckworth, Neil’s father, took over the business and
introduced Swiss watch brands like Omega, Rolex and Heuer
alongside the home-grown Prestex range. However, the original
Prestex line was eventually phased out. In 1982, Neil’s brother
Andrew assumed leadership of the company, ensuring its continued
prosperity. Meanwhile. Neil pursued a career in the watch industry,
working with renowned global brands. However, his lifelong desire
was to revive the lost family watch brand from the 1960s, and now
that dream is becoming a reality.
Duckworth Prestex Style
Reimagining original designs from the 1960s, Duckworth Prestex
seeks to create versatile and high-quality timepieces for an affordable
price. Often characterised by their elegant cushion case, each watch
is designed with comfort in mind. As well as this, Duckworth Prestex
watches retain the brand’s characteristic retro-flair and vintage look,
while boasting better than ever functionality. With a large selection of
watches, ranging from chronographs to GMTs, there is a Duckworth
Prestex for every collector.
