Luxury watch-brand Rolex will soon have a significant presence on Union Street under exciting expansion plans being developed by Jamieson & Carry.

The family-owned jeweller is investing over £1million expanding its footprint on Aberdeen's Union Street, and has now officially lodged plans to add two new units to its Union Street premises to make room for a specialist Rolex store.

It is looking to move into the vacant property next door which was previously an AllSaints clothing store.

The plans will bring the vacant unit - which has lain empty since 2019 - back into use and images lodged with Aberdeen City Council show how it will look.

Partner Christopher Carry told the Press & Journal that the firm’s intention is to “not only be one of the best luxury retail spaces in Aberdeen or the north-east of Scotland, but one of the best in the UK”.

Under the plan, the new area would become home to luxury watch brand Rolex.

The door to the adjacent shop space would be removed and become a display window instead. Windows would be retained but upgraded for security given the high value stock.

The shopfronts are also in line to be improved to ensure they are the best standard possible for selling other luxury brands such as Patek Philippe.

Bosses say they want to provide a “cohesive and classical look for a long-standing family business, conveying tradition, trust, elegance and style”.

Jamieson and Carry was started up in 1733 and it has called 142 Union Street home for more than 100 years.
