HERITAGE
James Edgar Murdock came to South Africa from England in 1896 and decided to set up a jewellery business. In 1897 he opened Murdock's Watchmakers and Jewellers in a small shop on the corner of Parliament and Longmarket Streets in Cape Town.
Through the years, eminent customers of Murdocks have included Cecil John Rhodes, King George and Queen Frederika of Greece. Cecil John Rhodes, apparently declined to alight from his vehicle and make the short journey into the shop, but insisted instead that the shop come to him.
There is a fine tradition of service that is offered at Murdocks and there are many clients like Rhodes, where the jewellery is taken to the client! The friendly staff will ensure you select the right item whether for investment or just pure indulgence.
You will also discover why when purchasing a jewellery piece from Murdocks, you are buying into a heritage which expands a century.
