Partridge Jewellers
Partridge Jewellers Ltd, trading as Partridge is a luxury jewellery manufacturer and retailer operating in New Zealand. It was founded in 1864 and currently has nine stores around New Zealand and it also operates one TAG Heuer boutique.
Partridge was founded in 1864 in Devon, England by James Timothy Partridge. Less than a decade later, his family emigrated New Zealand and the workshop was relocated to Timaru. The company later relocated to Christchurch, and 1898, James' son, Linnaeus Partridge, who had inherited the business, moved to Wellington and opened a workshop there.
A silver salver from the brand was presented to Queen Elizabeth II on her 1954 Royal Tour. The Cuba Street store was robbed in 1966.
Partridge became the first New Zealand stockist of TAG Heuer in the late 1980s, and is also an authorised retailer of other watch brands such as Rolex, Patek Philippe, Cartier, Omega, Breitling, Jaeger LeCoultre, IWC Schaffhausen, Tudor, Grand Seiko, Longines and more.
In addition to its own jewellery collections, Partridge also sells jewels from esteemed international brands such as Graff, Piaget, Chopard, Messika, Fabergé, David Yurman, Mikimoto, Fope, Roberto Coin, Pasquale Bruni, Ole Lynggaard and more.
Grant Partridge purchased the business off of his father in the 1990s.
In 2007 the Queen Street store paid the highest rent of any store in New Zealand.
The company's first Queenstown store opened in late 2012, however in 2022 it relocated premises. In 2013 the business opened at Westfield Riccarton in Christchurch (later closed) and in 2016 a store opened in ANZ Centre in the Christchurch CBD. In July 2018 a boutique opened at Auckland International Airport (later closed). The Newmarket store relocated to Westfield Newmarket in 2021. In December 2022 a new store opened at 75 Queen Street.
