Rolex and Thomas Markle Jewelers History
Our Rolex history
1983 - Making A Name After falling in love with the Jewelry industry, Thomas sets out with the goal of providing next-level customer service. To spread his name, Thomas visits banks, hair salons and other local establishments with a brown leather briefcase full of fine jewelry. After building a dedicated following, he officially opens the first Thomas Markle Jewelers in 1987. Shortly after, he has two children, Sarah and Philip, who fully embrace the industry.
1999 - A DYNAMIC PARTNERSHIP
With a 5-star reputation under his belt and the desire to provide Houston with the world’s best watches, Thomas Markle became an Official Rolex Jeweler. Together, they deliver an unparalleled experience and selection of fine Swiss timepieces. This long standing partnership continues to drive Rolex enthusiasts and first-time buyers to Thomas Markle Jewelers to discover the rarest and most beautiful timepieces today.
2000 - GROWING THE BRAND
Thomas Markle Jewelers opens its flagship store in the iconic outdoor shopping center on Market Street in The Woodlands.
