The service was quick, professional, and done perfectly. What really stood out was how friendly and welcoming Boris is--he clearly cares about his customers and takes pride in his work. It's not always easy to find places like this anymore where you feel taken care of from the moment you walk in. Highly recommend BMC Time Works for anyone who needs watch repairs or service. I'll definitely be back.

Do not go to this place. Only leave reviews for exceptional service and terrible service. This is the latter. 0/10 for "Joseph"

There was someone there already getting a watch battery replaced. So, while waiting, I walked around admiring their clocks and watches. They have quite a selection - great if you need a nice clock for yourself or as a gift. I took some pictures and a short video and posted them for you to see. When it was my turn, he took the watch and went in the back. It didn't take much more than five minutes for him to return with the watch working again! And the price was very reasonable, under $20. Fun store with good service.

I would get my watch batteries replaced only by him because he used quality batteries, and not the cheap ones made in China. I was down to my last functioning watch when I found one of the reviewers here explaining who he was. He replaced 2 of my watch batteries for the same price as in the past. This is his own space and works here with his family. He also has some lovely and unique pieces of jewelry. I am so glad to have once again found this reliable business!

Some places sell jewelry. Fuenfer Jewelers handles the things you can't replace…read more I brought in my father's ring to be resized. I thought it would be straightforward. When I picked it up, I cried. The team didn't just do the work, they treated it like it mattered, because they understood that it did. That's not something you can fake, and it's not something every jeweler knows how to do. They also helped me pick out a wedding band, which somehow felt less like shopping and more like sitting with people who genuinely wanted me to find the right one. No pressure, no pushing, just honest expertise. And when I needed a watch appraised, Brett Fuenfer took the time to walk me through everything. His knowledge is the kind you only get from someone who deeply loves the craft, and the care he brings shows in every interaction. To Brett and the entire Fuenfer team, thank you. You turned three separate visits into moments I won't forget.
