In 1982, in a modest space in Bastogne, Jean Windeshausen laid the foundations for what would become a reference for the highest in class and quality in the world of luxury watches and jewellery. With a few grams of gold and a profound passion for all things beautiful, he opened the first boutique of what is now known as La Maison Windeshausen. This was not just the beginning of a business but the birth of a legacy that would span generations and continents, driven by a commitment to excellence and an appreciation for the finest craftsmanship.
As the years passed, Jean was joined by his son Lionel, whose enthusiasm and innovative vision helped propel the family business to new heights. The father-son duo expanded their enterprise, moving to Bertrange, where La Maison Windeshausen soon became an essential destination for aficionados of high-end timepieces and exquisite jewellery. Today, the name Windeshausen is synonymous with elegance, quality and impeccable service.
Committed to presenting only the crème de la crème, the flagship store features a variety of meticulously arranged displays that house some of the most illustrious names in watchmaking, including Rolex, Breitling, Zenith, IWC, Cartier, Chopard, and Chanel. Each brand is showcased with the reverence it deserves, offering clients a curated selection of timepieces that resonate with any taste, from elegant to sporty, iconic or unique.
The boutique’s selection of stunning jewellery is no less impressive. Timeless, modern and original pieces await discovery, crafted by skilled designers and artisan jewellers who can bring any vision to life. Whether it’s a bespoke creation or a piece from an existing collection, each item is a testament to Windeshausen’s dedication to beauty and precision. This is further exemplified in the Preowned Corner, where watches steeped in history find new owners, their stories continuing with each tick of the second hand. Here, clients can also explore a selection of exceptional leather goods, from bags and wallets to custom-made watch straps and accessories, each item crafted to complement any occasion.
But the allure of La Maison Windeshausen extends beyond its flagship store. A few steps away, in a cosy yet sophisticated setting, another boutique — opened in 2013 — welcomes visitors to explore the latest collections from brands like Longines, Frédérique Constant, Bell & Ross, Rado, Norqain, Messika, Fred and Dinh Van. This laid-back space is designed for those seeking the trendiest timepieces and jewels without compromising quality or style.
The story of La Maison Windeshausen is also a tale of expansion and growth. The original boutique in Bastogne, imbued with family values and tradition, continues to thrive, offering a wide array of timepieces and jewellery from prestigious brands.
Behind the scenes, the heart of La Maison Windeshausen beats in its watchmaking and jewellery workshops. Here, master watchmakers and jewellers, equipped with the latest technology and driven by a deep respect for traditional techniques, ensure the durability and aesthetic appeal of each piece. Whether it’s a complete overhaul, a maintenance service, a water-tightness test, a bracelet adjustment or a simple battery change, the watchmaking workshop, approved by major watchmakers, provides expert care for every timepiece.
Similarly, the jewellery workshop is a place where treasures are maintained, repaired and created. The skilled hands of master jewellers and setters work delicately with gold and precious stones to breathe new life into old jewellery or craft new bespoke pieces. Services such as polishing, rhodium plating, setting, resizing and engraving are all part of the incomparable expertise presented to clients.
With specialists on hand to offer personalised advice and support, from guiding clients through the proper use and maintenance of their watches to assisting in the creation of custom jewellery, the team is dedicated to enhancing every customer’s experience. This dedication to high-end service, the relaxed yet professional atmosphere, and the outstanding quality of their products, have all contributed to La Maison Windeshausen’s esteemed reputation.
Boasting three boutiques and a newly dedicated space for preowned watches, La Maison Windeshausen continues to mark life’s most beautiful moments with timeless pieces. The passion that began with a father and son now touches countless lives, creating a legacy of elegance and excellence that will endure for generations to come.
