Written by the company

McWhirter the Jeweller is a family run business that has been serving the people of Newry for over 65 years. Godfrey McWhirter loved working with his hands and from an early age, had been trained as a watchmaker. At the age of 26 he and his new wife, Muriel, embarked on opening their own business in 1958 and thus McWhirter the Jeweller was born. Godfrey and Muriel began growing their business, their family and long-standing ties within the Newry community. Moving over 6 different premises, expanding their services and sharing their knowledge with the next generation, the McWhirters held quality goods, family values and friendly service at their core. At the age of 21, Garry McWhirter began following in his father’s footsteps; from Watchmaking to selling to the public, Garry continued the dream. As Garry’s own family began to grow and he started taking on a bigger role within the business, Godfrey and Muriel continued to support their son with their wealth of knowledge, sound advice and constant love. Whilst watchmakers were not unheard of in 1958, it certainly was not a skill set that many possessed locally and building upon the ability to offer a unique service to the people of Newry Godfrey, known by those who loved him as Mac, pioneered his business to meet the needs and desires of his clients. We have continued to build on this custom over the years, expanding our onsite repairs services, watch repairs and overhauls, all whilst offering an expert diamond and specialised jewellery service. In March of 2021, Garry passed away but his dream to get back onto Hill Street was carried out by his wife Carol and two sons, Lee and Ross, who all continue to work in store. Driven by their love of family, the desire to keep Garry and his parents alive and for McWhirters Jewellers to carry on for the next generation, we opened our new premises of 64 Hill Street, in November of 2021. Being at the heart of Newry City centre has brought our business to a new level.

Great service

This is the second time I'm ordering Thomas Sabo from this jeweller and each time it's been a delight. The communication is excellent and consistent, the items are well packaged and the postage is pretty much immediate. No doubt I'll be buying some from here :)

I bought this watch from …

I bought this Longines watch from McWhiters The Jewellers Ltd last week after they answered some question's for me . I had some reservation's but they got back to me very quickly even though It was after normal trading hours to answer my question and even agreed to send me more photograph's of the watch when they opened the next day . I went ahead and bought It on the Thursday , they sent off that day and I had It by noon on Friday . I had to get a battery fitted and a link removed from the bracelet which I did last weekend and are now the proud owner of a great watch . I would have no hesitation from buying from McWhirter's again and would recommend them to anyone .
