Some people have a few pieces of jewelry or expensive watches that they wish to pass on to family members, and don’t really know where to buy a properly elegant jewelry box or watch winder. There are few companies that specialize in watch winders or jewelry boxes that can boast of having 5 generations of experience in that area, and Wolf Designs is one of them.

Today we shall look at the history of this great company and the long road they have taken to be one of the most recognized jewelry boxes and watch winder makers in Europe and America Today!

In 1834 German silversmith Philipp Wolf I created the company when he discovered that his silver pieces sold more when presented in beautiful boxes. He refocused his designs creating sophisticated jewelry cases, as he began selling more boxes than silver, and these boxes not only looked good but protected meaningful treasures.

Then, in 1895 Son Philipp Wolf II began working as his father's apprentice. A summer in southern Sweden convinced him to immigrate to Malmö. There he started his own workshop and soon earned the respect and recognition within the area for his craft. As time passed, his sons, Ernst and Philipp III, proudly continued the tradition of box making.

When 1930 came around, Philipp Wolf III continued to expand the Swedish factory into its third generation of box making. After World War II, he embarked on long trips to America to sell his presentation boxes to newly emerging watch and jewelry markets.

In 1962, Philip Wolf IV the first of three sons born to Philip III, immigrated to England to start a new factory. Over time, his factory employed over 300 people and was recognized as the largest manufacturer of jewelry boxes and display materials for all of Great Britain and much of Europe.

Wolf Designs in the modern age

Enter 1988. With the economy and business flourishing in England, the time was right for the Wolf Designs family to break into the USA and Canadian Markets. It was up to Simon Philip Wolf V, with guidance from his father Philip IV, to persevere through difficult challenges and achieve remarkable success. The Wolf Family business legacy proudly continues. The company not only crafts great jewelry boxes, but now creates a wide variety of fine quality gift items as well. Their patented technology and innovative product design in jewelry cases and watch rotators, has made the company what it is today.
