OUR HISTORY Over the years, we've helped countless couples express their love at every step of the way, and been at the forefront of special moments celebrating the bonds between friends and family. MEET HARRIET SAMUEL: THE WOMAN BEHIND THE H. It may come as a big surprise that the person responsible for starting the largest jewellery and watch business for its time was actually a woman. Who is H.Samuel? For years this remained a mystery or was thought by many to be a man. It was in fact a woman called Harriet Samuel who founded H.Samuel and pushed on for it to become what it is today. Defying the conventions of her time and pushing forward to pursue her own dream more than 150 years ago, this is how the story of Harriet Samuel begins. 1862 HARRIET'S STORY BEGINS Harriet Samuel takes it upon herself to move her father-in-law's watch making business from Liverpool to Manchester Market Street, leading an ambitious plan for a mail order business, in a time where women are unable to vote or get fully educated. 1890 FIRST RETAIL STORES Harriet Samuel maintains a hugely successful mail order business over the next 28 years, resulting in the first retail stores opening in Preston and Rochdale, Lancashire. 1897 DEAR MR. H.SAMUEL Both the mail-order and retail business enjoy huge success, with thousands of happy customer testimonials written by hand and sent personally to Harriet, with many people unaware that a woman was leading the business. 1912 THE JEWEL OF THE JEWELLERY QUARTER A larger property in Birmingham is bought for keeping up with the large demand, which still exists to this day in the Jewellery Quarter. 1948 RESILIENCE IN DIFFICULT TIMES Despite some of the stores being destroyed in the war, H.Samuel continues to provide people with watches and jewellery, as the number of stores keep growing. 1970 THE NATION'S FAVOURITE Harriet's grandsons take over the business, with the number of stores increasing to 200 nationwide, becoming the favourite watch and jewellery retailer. 1993 STORES ACROSS THE COUNTRY The number of stores increases further to 300, increasing further from its balance of craftsmanship and value. 2012 MORE THAN A CENTURY OF EXPERTISE H.Samuel reaches its 150th anniversary, from its humble beginnings as a watch manufacturer, to being one of the largest jewellery and watch retailers in the UK.
