Watchmaker François-Prosper De Greef set up shop on rue au Beurre, a stone's throw from the Grand-Place, in 1848. Today, the sixth generation of this family specialising in watchmaking and jewellery still operates from the same address. With their signature excellence, the successors of the family business navigate between elegance and exclusivity with Arnaud Wittmann, goldsmith and jewellery designer, at the helm. He infuses the company with his unique, offbeat style, satisfying an increasingly demanding clientele.
Maison De Greef (since 1848)
Leysen (since 1855)
The secret of Leysen jewellery's longevity? Designing meaningful jewellery that tells a story and stands the test of time. Six generations of jewellers have been at the head of this institution since 1855. Guided by values of attentiveness and excellence, they have forged the family's sterling reputation and expert craftsmanship. All the jewels are crafted in the Belgian jewellers' workshops by artisans who bring to life the sketches imagined by the family.
Wolfers (since 1812)
Wolfers has been bringing sparkle to the lives of its customers since 1812. It is one of the oldest jewellers and goldsmiths in Europe and was one of the leading figures in Art Nouveau in Brussels at the end of the 19th century. Elegance, beauty and audacity have guided the company through the ages and trends. In 1958, Wolfers' reputation spread beyond our borders thanks to the Expo Universelle, which was held in Brussels. Queen Mathilde of Belgium's wedding tiara is a Wolfers creation.
