The history of Rent a Box

In 1980 Heinz Thöny and Heinz Baumann founded the jewelry shop "Thöny & Baumann Goldschmiedeatelier" in the Maihof Quartier in Lucerne. A few years later the young company moved its headquarters to Kriens and in 1992 Roman Bucher, today its longest serving employee and Goldsmith Studio Manager, joined the team. After Heinz Thöny had left the company, the family business opened a store on Buobenmatt in Lucerne in 2003. In 2005, the new main store was inaugurated at Kornmarkt 8 in the heart of Lucerne's old town. At the same time Heinz Baumann handed over the company to his eldest son Patrik.
With the fresh energy of the second generation, the first store opened in 2005 under the new name Rent a Box - the innovative concept for the trade with used jewelry and used watches. Further stores followed in almost all of German-speaking Switzerland.
In 2020 we opened our first store in beautiful Ticino in Lugano. In addition, our e-boutique also reaches more than tens of thousands of watch and jewelry lovers around the world online every month.
