History of Gucci
Gucci was founded in 1920 by Guccio Gucci, in Florence, Italy. The first store opened its doors in 1921 and, at that time, specialised in leather and accessories. When Guccio sadly passed away in 1953, the business was taken over by his 4 sons - Aldo, Vasco, Ugo and Rodolfo. Let's take a closer look at some of the key historical events for the Gucci brand...

How to adjust a Gucci watch band
Gucci watches have a number of strap styles including bangle, bracelet, buckle, and strap. Buckle straps are simple to adjust to your size, simply pull on the strap to tighten or loosen and insert the buckle in the right hole for the perfect fit.
If you choose a watch with a deployment clasp, slip the end of the spring bar beneath the bar, and push it up. Slide the strap up or down until it’s in your desired position and close the bar. To finish off, pop the watch on your wrist and close the deployment clasp to ensure you’re happy with the adjusted strap.
If you have any trouble adjusting your watch, head down to your local Ernest Jones store where a team member will be happy to assist you.
The cost and care of your Gucci watch
How much is a Gucci watch?
The price of Gucci watches varies on which you go for, for example, the model and specific style will impact the price you pay. However, the price range of our Gucci watches typically sits between £600 at the cheapest, and £1,650 at the most expensive.
The price of Gucci watches will differ between the features and style of each watch. Before browsing and purchasing, you should think about what you want from your watch and set your budget, this will make the process a lot easier and you’ll be able to eliminate those that are out of your price range.

How to tell if a Gucci watch is real
If you’ve already been gifted a Gucci watch or have bought one from elsewhere that isn’t a reputable jeweller, you may be wondering whether you have a genuine Gucci timepiece sat on your wrist.
Gucci is one of the most replicated watch brands in the world meaning there are many counterfeits out there. Here are a few things to look out for to know if you have a genuine Gucci watch or not.
Firstly, you should check the back of your watch casing where you should find the Gucci logo and model number. Fake watches may display just the logo, or the logo will appear bigger and this is a sign it’s a replica. Please note however that although this is the case for most Gucci watches, not all models have the logo on the back of the case, so if yours doesn’t then it would be worth carrying out a quick online search as to whether this is right or not.
You should also lookout for the wording ‘swiss made’ on your watch. If your watch is genuine, these words will be seen on the watch face.
Lastly, you should check the serial number of your watch as every genuine Gucci watch is sold with a certificate of authenticity. If you have doubts, you can check this serial number with Gucci who will be able to inform you whether your watch is real.
There are other things you can look out for too such as the dial movements and the weight and movements of the watch but the above 3 are the easiest ways to check.
Caring for your Gucci watch
Gucci watches don’t come with a low-price tag so if you buy one it’s important you take the right care of it to ensure you get the very best out of it for longer.
Here are just a few of our top cleaning tips to maintaining excellent condition of your watch:
- Use cotton buds to clean hard to reach areas. For example, around the bezel and strap detailing
- When not wearing your watch, store it in its original box to keep it protected from any damage
- If putting your watch down on a surface, always leave it face up to prevent any damage to the dial and glass face
- Simply use soapy water to clean your watch rather than any harsh chemicals but test any cleaning methods on a small area first just to be certain!
- Even if your watch is classed as waterproof, avoid submerging it when cleaning
- Only allow trained professionals to remove the cover from the watch back. If you do this yourself it could invalidate any warranty and expose the delicate components to dirt leading to irreparable damage
- Make use of our watch repair service to ensure your watch is maintained to its highest standards
