The company was a manufacturing jeweller making items for trade. Whilst he changed his manufacturing address four times, Thomas weir was embarking on the retail end of the business.

TW represent the initials of our founder Thomas Weir who set up in partnership with A. Rogers in 1869. In 1871 the partners went their separate ways with Thomas Weir registering the TW makers mark in 1872 with the Dublin Assay office.
