The Watchmaker is closed next week so the staff can take a well-deserved break.... kick back by the pool, go to the beach, or sit in front of the air conditioner and watch youtube. Whatever they want to do, in other words. We'll see you back on July 8th- have a safe and fun Fourth of July!!

Hi Everyone just an update- lots going on in preparation for the move down the street to our new location. We should be fully over by May 1st, but will likely be there a week or two earlier. We will be closed for at least a week for the move and set-up, we'll announce that so you can plan accordingly. In the meantime, we are selling down our watch inventory; the new location will be focused almost exclusively on service rather than retail watch sales. If you've been thinking about getting a new watch, there's no better time. They've all gotta go!
