About brand

Our Story

The story of Bowers & Wilkins starts with one man – John Bowers. His drive and passion are written into the DNA of the company he founded over 50 years ago.

Bowers dreamed of producing the perfect loudspeaker – of delivering recorded sound that is utterly faithful to the live performance and to the artist’s original intent.

His obsessive pursuit of perfection and steadfast refusal to accept anything but the very best has shaped everything that we do and everything that we are. ‘Good enough’ simply isn’t good enough for Bowers & Wilkins.

"If you make a better product, you will sell it."

John Bowers, Founder of Bowers & Wilkins
