Rolex and John Bull history

explore the rolex history - John Bull
Our History
A family legacy of bahamian luxury. The John Bull story is rooted in a family’s business vision that dates back to the early 1900’s, which has evolved over time to make the John Bull name synonymous with quality, excellence, and Bahamian luxury.
Our History
Early Beginnings

The John Bull family business began as an old English tobacco house in Nassau in 1929. The company’s product offering began to evolve, expanding to watches and novelty gifts, as tourism to The Bahamas grew following the end of the Second World War. In 1952, John Bull became the only Official Rolex Jeweler authorized to sell Rolex timepieces in The Bahamas, a treasured relationship that has continued to flourish as the company has grown over the years.

Early Beginnings
Leading Luxury in The Bahamas

The team at John Bull is proud to carry on the traditions and values of our founding: a passion for excellence, a commitment to integrity, and a dedication to the highest level of customer service. In 1996, John Bull moved headquarters to their current flagship store at

284 Bay Street, transforming the former “The Nassau Shop” building into the Bahamian luxury icon it is today. The company then further expanded to new locations at the Atlantis Resort in the 1990s and Baha Mar in 2017.
