    Outstanding service from start to finish. I contacted BBD regarding one of the new Rolex models earlier in the week on the off chance it would be available. If you're into watch collecting then you know how hard it is to source a specific model especially a brand new model in this climate. I was told to put down my details and join a waitlist which is quite standard procedure. Having gone through this before elsewhere, I was not too optimistic about a call any time soon. To my complete surprise, out of the blue only a couple of days later I get a call saying my watch has come in and I can pick it up that day. I was shocked but said yes and got down to the store on the day. I was looked after by Becca who made the whole experience seamless and was very friendly throughout. What I loved most is that she reassured me that they are not like other dealers who want you to build up purchase history or join a non existant waitlist. Baker Brothers want you to get the watch you want, wear it and enjoy it. It has that local family run vibe and I'm so glad I tried them out, an absolute dream for someone who has a true passion for horology and wants a watch for the genuine love of collecting. I'd also add the COVID precautions taken in store were top notch. Thank you once again. The experience absolutely made my day!

    Great Experience as always at Baker Brothers. My husband and I have bought several pieces from the store, and again struck gold when Lizzie called to say they had sourced a watch for me. I placed the order myself, but Lizzie worked with my husband, behind the scenes, and he surprised me by buying it for me before I could go into store and buy it myself! 10 out of 10 for service!

    I recently had the most incredible experience at Baker Brothers Bedford, and I couldn't be happier with the exceptional service I received. Initially, I had my mind set on purchasing a 2 carat lab grown emerald cut diamond ring with a plain band, as it was what my girlfriend had been hinting at. However, thanks to the knowledge and expertise of Kellie, I learned that choosing a real diamond would be a far better option. Kellie took the time to educate me about the various diamond cuts and explained the terminology used to grade diamonds. She took the time to explain to me that due the way it is cut, an emerald cut diamond with no halo or diamond band, wouldn't sparkle as brilliantly as I or my girlfriend had imagined. What impressed me most was the lack of pressure or rush during the entire sales process. Kellie and the entire team were incredibly friendly, helpful, and patient. They genuinely cared about finding the perfect ring for me and making sure I had a positive experience. I mentioned to Kellie that I intended to visit Hatton Garden, thinking it would be a high class shopping experience as it's known as the jewellery quarter of London. However, after my visit, I quickly realised the stark contrast between Baker Brothers and the other jewellers in Hatton Garden. Baker Brothers exuded professionalism and personalised service, while Hatton Garden felt more like a chaotic cattle market in comparison. Impressed with the level of service, I made a deposit on a stunning ring with an emerald cut, halo, and pavé band. As a watch enthusiast, I also had the pleasure of exploring some exquisite timepieces at Baker Brothers. Kellie generously allowed me the time to admire the Tudor Chronograph, Rolex Submariner, and my long-awaited favorite, the Blue Dial Rolex Datejust 41. To ensure I made the right decision regarding the ring, I asked Kellie if I could return with my girlfriend, Kristina, under the pretense of registering my interest in the Rolex Datejust. Kellie happily accommodated my request, and when we returned together, she thoughtfully presented Kristina with a variety of rings to gauge her reaction. To my delight and relief, Kristina loved the design of the ring I had placed the deposit on! After further consideration, Kellie and I decided to go for the same ring design but with a larger center diamond. I returned once again to Baker Brothers to compare sizes and ultimately made the purchase. The diamond needed to be set in the ring, so I would need to return to collect it. True to their exceptional service, Kellie made sure the ring was ready in time for my holiday in the Philippines, where I planned to propose to Kristina. The craftsmanship and beauty of the ring exceeded my expectations, and I couldn't have been more thrilled with the final product. Throughout this entire journey, I visited Baker Brothers a total of five times, and on each occasion, the service was nothing short of exceptional. Kellie's expertise and passion for her craft shine through in everything she does, and the entire team at Baker Brothers consistently provided outstanding service. Most importantly, my now fiancé, Kristina, is absolutely in love with her ring. It embodies everything she had been hoping for and more. I can't thank Baker Brothers enough for helping me find the perfect ring and for creating an unforgettable experience. If you're in search of exquisite jewelry and exceptional service, look no further than Baker Brothers Bedford. They go above and beyond to make dreams come true, and their dedication to customer satisfaction is second to none. I wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone in need of a truly special jewellery buying experience. Now I am just eagerly awaiting their call to say that they have a Rolex DateJust 41 with a blue dial, fluted bezel and jubilee bracelet waiting for me to collect !😁

    My partner Derek and myself went to Baker Brothers Bedford and we were welcomed by Kellie. We found the perfect engagement ring for me. I love it. Kellie is absolutely amazing, friendly, funny, kind and professional and she has an extremely deep knowledge about diamonds. You can tell she really enjoys her job and we cannot wait to see her again when we will buy our wedding rings. The whole experience was absolutely fantastic.

    I have been a Baker Brothers customer for many years and have always had a first class service. Becky in particular has been extremely helpful recently in assisting me with a bespoke engagement ring, I can thoroughly recommend Baker Brothers and their superb team for all jewellery requirements.

  • 5/5 watch l. 2 years ago on Google
    So I knew of Baker Brothers from a friend and so when a new Tudor watch was released I called to see if they had it. I spoke to a very friendly and to be honest quite lovely lady on the phone. She took my details and said she would be in touch when one arrived. I googled the lady and was surprised to see she is a Director of Baker Brothers. I was surprised because she spoke in such a down to earth and friendly helpful way. Often people in her position are full of themselves but Rebecca was not at all, I was impressed. Today when I saw a Bedford number appear on my phone I nearly didnt pick up as I get a lot of nuisance calls, then I remembered I'd spoken with Baker Brothers. When I answered I was greeted by Caris, a very friendly and professional sales person. She explained that the watch I'd expressed an interest was here. I said I'd like to view it thinking it was just to view. But to my absolute delight it was available to buy. No one has ever called me to offer a watch for purchase and I didnt expect it, what a wonderful surprise. Once I was in Baker Brothers charming intimate Retailer with exposed wooden beams I was very interested to see how I was treated and how the staff treated and spoke to their customers. I was again very very impressed. ALL the staff I encountered were exceptional, genuinely friendly, professional, helpful, interested in their customers which sounds basic but in my experience is NOT. I didnt want to deal with a huge national chain and would much prefer to spend my money with an independent privately owned dealer. Thank you Caris you were brilliant, I hope to do business with you again soon. Thank you Rebecca, your staff are very very good. We spoke briefly but not as long as I'd of liked, you were busy though. The moral of the story is, answer unexpected unknown phone calls and visit Baker Brothers for your Jewellery and Watch needs. I love my new watch, THANK YOU.

  • 5/5 Keith Y. 5 months ago on Google
    Well what can I say, probably the best and most enjoyable shopping experience for a long time. !! I've said it before and I'll say it again it's the people that make the difference.....and the welcome from the lovely ladies (wish I knew their names 🙄?) and their patience in helping my wife and I choose some earrings as a birthday resent made the whole experience memorable. So my wife now has some very stylish earrings that she wore on our night out at Bedford Corn Exchange Burlesque evening and a pair for every day. So, thank you ladies at Baker Brothers Bedford. Hope you recognise yourselves when you read this review Xx

    Excellent customer service and help. Great communication. Thank you especially to Kellie for making it all happen. She makes the process very easy! Would recommend without a doubt.

  • 5/5 James C. 9 months ago on Google
    Had a great experience with Baker Bros. Originally buying my wife an eternity ring in November 22 and more recently a watch that I have wanted for a long time to celebrate a belated birthday. Great service from Kellie and team. Thank you!

    Went to Baker Brothers for the 1st time to get my other half a Tag watch for his 40th. I rang up to reserve the watch as it was the only one I could find (its limited edition). Very friendly and informative on the phone call. When I went to the shop to pick up I was met by Carys who was great! She showed me the watch etc and took some links out. Very friendly and professional place.

    Exceptional Service and Warm Welcome! I recently visited Baker Brothers Jewellers and was truly impressed by the exceptional service and warm welcome I received. The staff, particularly Caris who assisted me, made me feel like a valued customer from the moment I walked in, even though I was a new client. I was referred by a friend and decided to make a purchase, a beautiful Platinum Ruby and Diamond ring for my wife. Even though Baker Brothers are a 2 hour drive from where I live, I was more than happy to travel because of their high recommendation. I also added my name to the Rolex waiting list. The staff's hospitality and assistance during my visits were exceptional, and I will most definitely be using Baker Brothers again. I cannot recommend them highly enough.

  • 5/5 R G. 1 year ago on Google
    I phoned in to inquire about a watch and booked an appointment for later that day. I was seen by Fenella who was brilliant in showing me the watch I’m interested in and gave me plenty of useful information. I would recommend Baker Brothers to anyone looking for a watch and I look forward to come back when this particular model is available and complete the purchase.

  • 5/5 William T. 1 year ago on Google
    I can’t recommend Baker Brothers highly enough, I’ve been fortunate to visit on a number of occasions over the last five or six years and the service never fails to impress. From the moment you walk in you’re made to feel special with a warm welcome from John at the door and the member of the team who comes out to greet you. Once shown to your seat nothing seems to be too much trouble and the knowledge and advice on offer is always of the highest standard. Special mention and thanks must go to Claire who recently helped me source my dream watch, which I still can’t quite believe is mine! Her attention to detail at every stage was amazing and made the whole process particularly memorable. In Claire’s absence Tanya saw to me on collection day, she again was excellent echoing the same level of service, taking me through the details of the watch and making the day a real occasion. Thank you all and I look forward to my next visit!

    I went to Baker Brothers today to buy my dream watch. This wouldn’t have been possible without Lizzie’s help. She is trustworthy, reliable and delivers a high quality service to the clients.

  • 5/5 Michael R. 1 year ago on Google
    Great experience with Baker Brothers Bedford. I have always been welcomed by the friendly and courteous staff. Valuations and purchases have always been undertaken with the upmost professionalism and respect. A recent watch purchase was faultless from start to finish with no request being too much hassle for them. Will definitely take future watch services, valuations and purchases there again.

  • 5/5 Lisa L. 2 years ago on Google
    Was served by a lovely lady called Jenny. I went in to buy my son a 21st Birthday gift which ended up as a Watch. Was made to feel very comfortable and looked after very friendly staff all round and also gift wrapped the box beautifully for me. I would highly recommend Baker Brothers for professionalism and friendly staff

  • 5/5 Nigel G. 11 months ago on Google
    I cannot recommend Baker Brothers enough, staff are always welcoming & this is the only shop I look forward to spending time in. Sat down with Kellie yesterday who is very knowledgeable & who let me try on numerous watches until I finally decided on which watch to buy & take away with me. I live an hours drive away but I'm more than happy to make the journey everytime and spend my time & money with this great independent jewellers. Yesterday was my forth purchase with these guys and definitely won't be my last. A big thank you to Kellie & her colleagues for taking care of me & my daughter yesterday, I absolutely love my new watch and couldn't be happier. Nigel.

    I live over an hour away from Baker Brothers and when I saw they had a few items of my interest I made an enquiry on a Monday morning and was delighted to speak with Lizzie. We agreed an appointment and on the Saturday I made my way down to meet them. The whole team made it a great experience and made me want to take the time to share it with others. So Thank-you to you and the guys for the great hospitality and an exciting experience in purchasing some additions to my collection. They were a pleasure to deal with and I look forward to not only building my collection with them over the years to come but sharing many other occasions with them also! I would highly recommend Baker Brothers, I will definitely be back!

    Hi This review is a few months overdue but I don't have anything negative to say about Baker Brothers. Becca sourced a Rolex for me after I visited the store on a complete whim. My wife has also bought a few bits of jewellery from the store and her experience has always been pleasurable. Its Bedford best kept secret!

  • 5/5 Dennis K. 2 years ago on Google
    First class service from the team, took the time to understand my needs as a first time buyer and went above and beyond to make sure I was looked after. I would like to especially give a special shout out to Caris who has been outstanding with her colleague Becca! They will certainly be seeing me again , travelled all the way from London and it was completely worth it!!!

  • 5/5 Zack G. 3 years ago on Google
    A very happy customer & a top level customer service! I was introduced to Lizzie by a good friend of mine - Lizzie was extremely helpful and understanding in my search for a new watch and I was kept regularly updated in the process. Unfortunately it was Lizzie’s day off on the day I came to the showroom and I was left in the more than capable hands of her colleague Becca who made me feel more than welcome. Becca was super helpful and really made me feel like a valued customer. Both a real credit to the Baker Brothers team. I will be back for sure. Thanks again!

    Have just had two expensive rings of my wife's repaired, What a fantastic job they have done. When we picked them up it was just like they were brand new all over again. My good lady is over the moon with them, so it's a big thank you to them. The staff ( Lisa ) was great and the advise superb. The cost was less than I expected so great all round.

  • 5/5 Lisa B. 2 years ago on Google
    Recently visited Baker Brothers and I have to say, the service I received was impeccable. Kellie was so helpful and was able to help me contact Rolex, Fenella was also very friendly and professional when I went to collect my watch, nothing was too much trouble. Will definitely recommend them if you are looking for something special and that extra special service

  • 5/5 Arian M. 2 years ago on Google
    Fantastic experience!! Met with Lizzie and Lisa, super informative which really helped with my decisions and couldn't be more happy with the warm treatment received! Thank you. Highly recommend a visit.

  • 5/5 christine t. 1 year ago on Google
    Hi Baker Brothers team just wanted to say a huge thank you to you for helping me get my watch. Specifically, wanted to give a massive shout out to Lizzie for dealing with my initial enquiry and updates so professionally and with so much care right through to Kellie who kindly arranged my appointment for handover and did an amazing job. I felt very well looked after as a customer and would highly recommend anyone looking for jewellery of any kind to make Baker Brothers their first stop! John was also a bit of a legend, kept an eye on my vehicle whilst I was there and had plenty of laughs with me. Thanks all and see you again soon.

  • 5/5 Josh T. 1 year ago on Google
    Recently visited Baker Brothers after receiving a very strong recommendation from a colleague of mine. I am still speechless and was absolutely blown away by the warm hospitality and amazing service delivered by the team there. They really take the time to understand you as an individual and support in anyway that they can! Jennie is amazing, from the moment I was I introduced I could tell I was in safe hands, her knowledge and experience is truly mind blowing. Jennie took the time and care to guide me through my purchase and make sure that I was comfortable at every stage, and better still I’ve walked away with a beautiful new timepiece for my collection. The team are all amazing, Clare kindly spent the time and care with me in Jennie’s absence, another individual who is a real asset to the wonderful team at Baker Brothers! A final special mention and thank you to John who is always courteous and welcoming and ensures that I feel safe on every visit. You’d honestly be mad to go anywhere else…Thank you again, and hopefully will see you again soon.
