about us

Maria Doulton
(Founder)
Maria is a freelance journalist who writes about watches and jewellery for both UK and international newspapers and magazines including the Financial Times, ST Fashion, The Telegraph and Times Luxx. Maria saw the need for a website focused on jewellery and watches and with Christine launched The Jewellery Editor.com in September 2011. Maria first became interested in watches and jewellery when she lived in Mexico and was looking for a change from her former job at corporate branding company Wolff Olins. Maria still has her first watch: a Mickey Mouse Tissot on a red canvas strap and her favourite jewel is her great-grandmother's gold die for sealing letters worn as a pendant.

Christine Pasquier
(co-Founder)
Christine worked for 15 years in the communication departments of Swiss watch house Jaeger-LeCoultre and Brazilian jeweller H.Stern and was immediately attracted by Maria's idea of creating an online magazine specifically dedicated to watches and jewellery that was launched in September 2011. Bringing together the glamour of the luxury world with the ever changing world of technology has proved a fascinating challenge. Christine is in charge of the commercial side of the business.
