Went to get a couple watches fitted and batteries for a few watches. What a fun store, with an amazing variety of interesting clocks and a great selection of vintage watches. The owner saved me lots of money by recommending I try to recharge my solar batteries for a few days before replacing them as they are very expensive. He was right! Saved me over $200 replacing those batteries. This place has great prices, aand they will do quick work like sizing or simple battery replacement while you wait. I will be taking some of my mechanical and automatic watches here for service in the future. I highly recommend this place! read more

Great and very prompt service. They remember their customers. Good location. A family owned business

I have a 18 century Vienna wall clock that was my father's. I cannot express how happy I am with their work and knowledge. They are a third generation business, and I knew right away that I was in good hands. Thank you for preserving a piece of my childhood. read more

Eric's Clocks & Watches - My baby is back home - Watch Repair Near Me - Pasadena, California

My coworker had an old grandfather clock in a storage unit which had been sitting unused for several decades, and they were giving it away. I was interested in it, but had no idea how to set it up. Eric came by for a very reasonable price, set everything up with care, and helped get me up to speed on how all the mechanisms work and what to pay attention to in order to maintain it. Eric was super friendly, accommodating, and responsive to my requests and able to work with my schedule. The clock works like new and looks great in our space. Highly recommend Eric if you want someone to take good care of your clock for a reasonable price! read more

They are very friendly and they changed the battery on my watch pretty quick and at a reasonable price.

he has repaired 2 of the 5 clocks i have working, the price was very reasonable. both were fixed over a year ago and they continue to work wonderfully. I love hearing the sounds throughout the day. I never need to worry about the time as long as I catch the start of the chimes. I have 3 more I will attempt to repair myself. Its a dyeing art, sadly. read more

I walked in and explained what I needed done. David was very friendly. I needed the battery changed in my watch and it to be resized since it was a little too loose on me. It took him 10 mins, I was in and out and it was reasonably priced. read more

I discovered my grandfather's old watch that he wore every day, but apparently never cleaned. Eric's was able to give it a nice cleaning and strap replacement for a great price. They also have a decent selection of vintage and antique clocks and watches for sale. A fun place for any enthusiasts. read more

Been coming here to get my watches serviced for years. David is always transparent and upfront about pricing, timing, and what work needs to be done. His shop has done great work on a range of watches, from Frankensteined Seikos to vintage Omegas. Fantastic business with tons of cool timepieces in the store to check out as well. read more

David worked on my new-to-me 1973 Omega cocktail watch and left it working flawlessly. Turn-around time was quick considering the holidays and service was super friendly! David is very knowledgeable and easy to chat with - it's clear the business is a labor of love. Check out the antiques! They've got great provenance stories :) read more

Fast and efficient service of my grandfather clock. We appreciate the care they have used in both fixing and maintaining our clock

They are a father and son business. I've been here twice now on a recommendation from a friend. They are very friendly and helpful. First time I came in to get a watch bracelet sized. Another time I went in for spring bars for my watch and they provided them without charge. A splendid business I can't wait to visit again. read more

Cannot recommend Eric's enough! They were super friendly and helpful. I had batteries in two watches replaced and one watch band resized, and they finished in fewer than 15 minutes. Incredible. Extremely reasonable pricing as well. I'll definitely be back to have all my watches serviced here! read more

March-30-2025 Based on my original review and further details included in the attached photos, Readers on here will understand why someone who has never written a review, has now decided to write such a negative review on Eric's Clocks & Watches. Based on his response to my original review, David from Eric's Clock & Watches appears to believe that good reviews on clocks and battery swaps can be extrapolated to watches. Furthermore, he continues to discredit the review not by providing specifics, rather by blanket Denial with no other goal than concealing the Truth from potential future clients, or in other words, by being Dishonest and Deceitful. As noted in my original review, my experience in dealing with Eric's Clocks & Watches, can be summarized by Unprofessionalism, Incompetence, Unaccountability, and Rudeness. Now, based on David's, from Eric's Clock & Watches, response to my original review, I can confidently add Untruthfulness, Dishonesty, Denial and Deceitfulness. Some of these traits, especially when dealing with David, can also be taken from at least two other reviews here. When you send watches to an Uncle at an unspecified location, as Eric's Clocks & Watches reportedly does, it is normal to ask questions related to that location/pictures and insurance. The fact that Eric's Clocks & Watches would not provide the requested information is telling. No "reputable" business would deny such requests. At the end of the day, I left a watch that had never been serviced but in good working condition, and got back a broken watch!... The watch was returned not only broken but also full of scratches on the back case showing failed attempts to open the case from the back in spite of clear manufacturer's engraved direction for opening from the top side. - For readers, VIDEO OF BROKEN WATCH IS ON GOOGLE-REVIEWS. When I brought the watch back for checking, Eric's Clocks & Watches discredited my reporting, and instead of checking the watch, decided to refund a partial cost. The watch stopped running a few days later. - No "reputable" business, especially one that specializes in watch repairs, would act with such a level of unaccountability and incompetence. - I believe there is another negative review on Eric's Clocks & Watches describing a similar level of unaccountability/incompetence. A "reputable" business that specializes in watch repairs would have been able to show me results of their testing on the watch since such a "reputable" business would have logged the test data. If Eric's Clocks & Watches had the means to assess technical performance of the watch, including via a time-grapher that all "reputable" watchmakers use, then Eric's Clocks & Watches would have been able to quickly run a time-grapher test (takes less than 2 minutes) and show me the results. They did not (although they did claim the watch "runs beautifully"). A partial refund at the expense of a broken watch is not what I consider a "goodwill gesture", rather Unprofessionalism, Incompetence, and Unaccountability. When this "goodwill gesture" is performed together with insults, then that is extreme Rudeness - that no "reputable" business would ever tolerate. I have now included a copy of my invoice/work order/receipt as this is the only paper Eric's Clocks & Watches provided me. There is no mention of a warranty period, and there is no mention of different types of Overhaul/Service work. Accordingly, the type of service I got, no photos, no reports, no test data, no returned parts, no protection packaging, is assumed as being the standard for Eric's Clock & Watches. Such a standard may be considered acceptable when servicing a clock or swapping batteries, but certainly not for a watch. Furthermore, the Reader would know how difficult it would be to make any later claims in the absence of a written warranty period. This is not how a "reputable" business would operate. I am glad to read that David from Eric's Clocks & Watches is "more than happy to accept fair criticism". In light of my fair criticism expressed in my two reviews, and for the sake of any potential future clients and their watches, Eric's Clocks & Watches should consider just sticking to servicing clocks and swapping batteries. read more

Fantastic service! David was honest about pricing, not trying to sell me on anything. He was so kind and repaired my watches immediately. Parking was very easy in front of the building with no meters to feed. I would absolutely recommend this business to anyone needing watch/ clock repairs or in the market for unusual antiques. read more

David was informative about my antique gold watch, explaining the value and repairs needed. It runs like a charm -- glad to get it out of storage! Thank you for your expertise, David. read more

Eric and his son David restored my clock which had not run for a very long time. It was a clock handed down in my husband's family, which apparently no one wanted. Eric told me it was over 100 years old! These wonderful, hardworking, conscientious gentlemen got my clock running, perfectly. It is a beautiful clock that I'm enjoying more than I imagined I would. The pendulum, the tick tock, and the striking of the chime every hour and half hour is so comforting. No electricity, no digital anything...I love it. These gentlemen have the most beautiful store, as well, full of every kind of clock and timepiece in the world. It is worth a visit even if you don't have something to be repaired. But if you do, don't hesitate to go to Eric's, I would highly recommend them. Thank you, Eric and David. read more

Another great experience! David helped me with a variety of vintage watches in a variety of conditions. I'm very happy to be wearing my family pieces! read more

I recently found a watch handed down to me from my grandmother and it turned out to be non functioning. Due to sentimental reasons, I yelped and found this store. Both David and Eric were so kind and helpful, honest and so knowledgeable of all things watches. I got my watch back working well, and they even replaced the crown without me asking them to. Would highly recommend. read more

I bought a GUCCI discontinued watch and there was absolutely no way I could have serviced it or bought parts for it at the Macys store. I called Eric's clocks and watches and a man name David said he would repair, and restore my watch with new dials, crown, movement etc. He fixed everything with very little downtime I was so surprised and happy after using his services I will never go to Macys for a watch instead he also sells very beautiful vintage watches. Thank you David for fixing the watch I will never forget the great experience. STUNNING! read more

I scrolled through the listings of watch repair shops, and to be honest, there were many highly rated businesses closer to me. However, I am glad I listened to the reviews and drove a bit further. My father's watch was fixed in minutes while I waited. I also saw how they interacted with other customers, and know the reason they stay in business for so long. Eric and David are not only knowledgeable, but kind people. Will definitely see them again for future watch repair! Thank you David and Eric. read more

Right off the bat: Eric's is the best So helpful, so kind, so professional! Now for the details: I was searching for someone to help me customize a watch highlighting our baby's birth time for Fathers Day. I went to 15 different places and no one could help me or was even willing to try I brought my watch to Eric's and immediately they were interested in the project and willing to try. Not only did they deliver, they tested several solutions until they found the right thing that would last a long time You can see how amazing the watch looks. My husband was thrilled and loves that he now has a subtle, classy way to always remember the moment we became parents. It makes me feel good to know that such a special gift was made by people who really cared. I highly recommend Eric's, they're our go to watch and clock place from now on read more

Neighborhood shop specializing in watch and clock repairs and used sales. We took several watches in for new batteries for a reasonable charge. read more

I would not get anything movement related serviced here, partly because of the sales pressure/attitude and partly because they're probably just a small shop with not a lot of experience with more vintage pieces with quirky movements. I got a bracelet sized here - no issues. I wanted to test out if they can handle a movement/battery issue. But a simple battery change turned into disappointment when they couldn't get my watch to run (they didn't have the right battery) and that I should leave it so they could find out what was really going on. Then when I wanted to take the watch with me, I was told that the gasket was done for and the movement was hard to service, probably damaged due to the gasket messing up the movement, and probably not gonna make them any money to repair it. Got the job done at Timeland in Century City. Simple battery change (they had it readily in stock) and they salvaged the gasket too. No gimmicks or attitude. Didn't have to leave the watch for a week or more and they got it done in 20 minutes. Watch works like a dream. Always have backups that know what they're doing: Timeland in Century City and Time-Tec in Downtown are great. Update - The response was typical of the treatment received here. Makes you feel like you're inconveniencing him. Notice how he didn't answer the question about why my watch works now. He just could not do the job. Stick to cuckoo clocks, bud. Plenty of friendlier competitors out there that can get a job done. read more

David was excellent in assisting me switch out the batteries in my Guess and Bulova watches. Genuinely great customer service. Very helpful, friendly, and extremely knowledgeable. I'd highly recommend. Quick service and I left knowing more about my watches than I had ever known before. A+ read more

I walked into the shop today with my watch, which has been losing about 5 minutes per day. I assumed something mechanical was wrong with the watch, but David, who seems like a really nice guy, looked at it and concluded it was just a dying battery. He cheerfully changed the battery for a reasonable charge and he also told me my old battery was leaking. He took care of the problem and thanked me for my business. I will definitely come back if I need watch repair or just another battery. read more
