A great clock and watch shop, for servicing, repairs, battery changes, and general watch and clock services. This is the shop in our area period. Gary is the man, from his demeanor, to the way he just conducts business, professional, kind and very knowledgeable. Every time, I've been to see him for work there are always people waiting. My most recent visit a battery change out for my Tag, and people were waiting. While he was helping them, he took mine and swapped the battery for me without missing a beat and answered the phone. Anyways, you get the idea, watches or clocks, timepieces new and old, from batteries and straps to complete tech servicings. He has worked on multiple timepieces for me over the years and always provided fair, prompt service and reasonable to cheap fees for his time. 5 Stars a great clock and timepiece shop 00854 read more

Gary is brilliant about clocks and watches. My grandfather clock had become a beautiful non functioning piece of furniture after an earthquake tore off a pendulum and froze the the entire works. He came in the morning with a tool kit and lots of tiny parts. He examined my clock, determined what it needed. Manufactured a needed part and in less than 3 hours had my clock keeping time, chiming and striking. He even set thr moon dial and taught me how to set and change the settings. I highly recommend him! Jeanne Gale read more

He talked to me in-depth about my specific watch, which I really appreciated the background. Highly recommend this establishment! read more

I sent the watch in because the stem had come off. When I got it back, the auto-wind worked perfectly. I realized that the automatic winding pendulum had not worked properly when the watch was new. How can you ask for more than to have something fixed that you didn't know was broken. read more

Great little shop but they are located in Arcata near the coop and not in Eureka -- at least that's what I found out when I called to make sure they were open. The gentleman running the business is friendly, priced fair and most likely will get you in and out while you wait. This is my local go to watch repair place. read more

Super place for anything related to timekeeping. Gary always has time to chat while he works, and it's always interesting! On my most recent visit, he showed me a vintage watch he's repairing. It's from the USSR, and the hour and minute hands are intended to depict a lunar eclipse. Perhaps the most interesting aspect is the leather band with a raised photo of Yuri Gargarin, the first person in space! Oh, yeah ... Gary remembers the first watch I brought in several years ago for a new crystal, a vintage Omega Constellation. So he calls me 'Constellation.' Love the guy! You will, too. read more
