Kilpatrick & Co. was a jewellery and watchmaking company founded in Melbourne, Australia, in 1853. The company was founded by John Kilpatrick, a Scottish immigrant who had previously worked as a jeweller in London. Kilpatrick was a skilled craftsman and jeweller, and he quickly built a reputation for his high-quality work. The company's early years were focused on wholesale jewellery and watchmaking. Kilpatrick & Co. supplied jewellery and watches to retailers throughout Australia, and the company also exported its products to other countries. In 1855, the company opened a retail store in Melbourne, and the store quickly became a popular destination for wealthy customers. In the late 19th century, Kilpatrick & Co. began to focus on manufacturing its own jewellery and watches and also became mathematical instrument makers, opticians and goldsmiths operating in Melbourne at various Collins Street addresses between 1876 and 1898.
