Who are Hot Watches?

Hot Watches are a subsidiary company of the Frisson Jewellers Group.

Frisson Jewellers are a company with roots in North East England, starting out with a shop in Morpeth, Northumberland, which was opened back in 1979 and initially known as The Silver Studio, this was the vision of a young silver smith graduate wishing to start a business in order to utilise his talents in both jewellery design, and bespoke silver and gold jewellery production.

Silver Studios built up a strong local reputation and a loyal customer base attributable to the quality of products sold together with unbeatable price and service given. With this change the company also diversified its products in response to changing customer demand, introducing branded watches to its product portfolio.
