    I have visited Vina's Jewellers several times in the last few months. The first visit was to see…read moreif they would be able to clean and adjust a Bulova watch that was at least 75 years old. I had approached several other Halifax companies over the last few years, all of whom had discouraged me, suggesting that the watch would never keep time properly, it would have to send it to Montreal for cleaning, and probably wasn't worth the cost or effort. The owner of VIna's eyes brightened when he saw the watch and indicated that he could certainly do the required watch. It was ready on precisely the day he promised and it looks and works perfectly, keeping excellent time. As a result of the success with this watch, I asked about another, quite fine watch, that had lost its watch crystal and, as a result, the hands which were unusually small. I had tried to have this favourite watch repaired various places in the city; one had contacted the company which had made the watch, and they reportedly responded that they no longer had parts for this watch. A company I contacted in Montreal gave a similar response. After several years, I'd given up trying to have the watch repaired, although I had resisted the suggestion from one local company that I just leave it with them for parts. Given the quality of the service Vina's had provided for the Bulova, I left the watch with them to see whether they might be able to do something to fix it. When I returned, the watch was completely restored. The owner had found among his extensive collection of parts both the crystal and the hands; he showed me the original paper work for their purchase dated in the 1980s! This is a truly remarkable shop. An extraordinarily knowledgeable craftsman with a deep love for all things related to watches and clocks. The work was done perfectly and was ready on precisely the day promised. The costs were considerable, but perfectly reasonable for what was done. I have since recommended VIna's to someone who wanted to have a vintage Rolex from the 1940s restored. They too were delighted with the quality of the work and the service. If you have a watch of some value on which you would like work to be done, this is certainly the place to go in Nova Scotia.

    Sometimes I'm not sure what a business is selling as their primary product. Upon entering this…read morestark Quinpool shop, I may say "watch straps - Vina's is all about watch straps." However, I don't think one can sustain a shop on a relatively small assortment of timepiece holders. I spoke with the man behind the counter to ask about watch battery pricing. Only $5 and he can do it in a few minutes while you wait - great news! I perused a little further, discovering a wall with larger clocks as well as an assortment of trophies... The space is bright and dated, with inoffensive colors and a very bland overall atmosphere. Plus side: there are a bunch of lovely orchids blooming in the window! Vina's apparently buys scrap gold and jewellery materials, as well as sells some watches and pocket clocks. A strange little store. But thankfully, not I know where to go if I need a watch strap. Phew.

    I've had numerous bad experiences with this store, because of their constantly changing return…read morepolicies and poor customer service. Most recently, a $300+ mechanical watch failed (from what I can tell) due to the poor quality of the Fossil movement. When bought new, from this very store, in 2016 I was informed that it came with an 11 year warranty. Now, when I take it in 5 years later with a problem that should 100% be covered (according to their watch warranty coverage) I am told their watches only carry a 2 year warranty and that I'm out of luck. Basically, Fossil's warranty means absolutely nothing, because they will always find a way to weasel their way out of it. The salesperson I spoke to was clearly on autopilot, regurgitating their BS line on this. I'm sure she is well practiced, considering they must get a lot of these complaints sure to the shifting warranties and poor quality of the products. I'm never buying anything from Fossil again, and will make sure to advise anyone I know to do the same.

There were certainly some interesting pieces and it was no surprise when I discovered the prices were steep. The sales woman mentioned that it was all of European descent and I pondered upon whether or not this upped the appeal. (no) Beyond jewelry, there were mens & womens watches and a small variety of fragrances. Watches were more classic in taste, as oppose to the bold and bohemian style of most jewelry. These aren't items I'd choose for myself, but for the right lady, this tiny shop could be glorious.

I took a little gander today, although I'm definitely not in a position to make a large purchase, it's always fun to torture oneself. Cassaforte sells pieces from designers like Barccarat and Piangonda, with an emphasis on being bold and unique. I saw some seriously flashy rings, and lots of dramatic necklaces and earrings. There were also watches, and a sign indicated that they sell perfume as well. Cassaforte is a fun boutique, recommended for those willing to spend serious bills for flashy pieces. Wear your sunglasses so that you're not blinded by all of the glitz and glam!
