Nowadays in the age of Fitbits and smart phones, I've noticed that not too many people wear analog watches anymore. While I have to keep up with technology in my work life, and I do like Yelp and the conveniences of things like GPS to show me the fastest/shortest route to where I'm driving, at heart I am a luddite. I like the life of simpler times, and I also like analog watches. I view them as functional jewelery. I also feel that watch repair is a dying art, and I want to do my part in keeping it alive. Vahid also repairs jewelry and sells some jewelry and watches in his store too. Although I personally found the jewelery styles not contemporary enough for my tastes. The items looked like things from the estate sale of someone's great-grandmother, lol. I will buy my jewelry elsewhere, but I would not hesitate to come to Fooshin for my watch and jewelery repairs. Street parking only. Luckily, I live within walking distance ;)

At that young age, I didn't really appreciate what it was, other than it told me the time, and was different from what everyone else was wearing. When it came time to get it serviced, he took me to this little shop on Merivale. Fast forward 40+ years - apparently this shop has been here since 1974 - it has a new owner who's been behind the counter for 10 of those. I've visited many times to get various things done to my timekeeping devices. The service is always excellent - it's fascinating watching him practice his craft, as he makes it look so easy, and what he charges for his service and products is more than fair. Of course, you can't put a price on supporting local business!

I have never had any issues with repairs and any work I've had them do is done perfectly the first time around. That said I do find they can be a little condescending at times as they have often questioned why I would want a piece repaired and they even tried to "out" the karat quality of my wife's ring and were taken back when she already knew and didn't care.

Their response was also direct and efficient, just the way I like things to be done. I finally recently had the time to stop by, so I did a drop-in. The jeweller or staff that greeted me did a quick inspection under her fancy lamp, then brought it to the back to be cleaned. I was able to wait around and it took all of 15-20min from check in to check out process. I really appreciate how efficient and friendly they were. And my ring came out looking brand new.

Amazing place. I…read morefirst contacted Mathew 2 years ago, around Christmas time. I had a vision of what the perfect ring for my partner would look like. I went to countless jewellery stores and was always told "the features are too complicated and it doesn't warrant the design." This all changed when I met Mathew. He was open and willing to take on the challenge of building the perfect ring. I described to him the meaning of the ring. I even went as far as trying to figure out how many twists the bands would have and the number of diamonds on the band, in order to be symbolic of our relationship. Mathew asked me why I had chosen a specific style and feature. So I described that the band was to be simple yet stunning, like my partner. The center stone was to represent her heart and I wanted it to be as big and clear as possible. Together we went through multiple design stages. For example, changing the diamond sizes on the twist in order to make it look nicer. When it came to choosing the center stone, Mathew knew exactly what I was after. He told me that it would take time, but he was willing to bring in diamonds to show me, until we found the perfect one. Never once did he pressure me into choosing a specific stone. He told me to be patient and that when the moment came, I would know I had found the perfect diamond. Well the day came. Mathew presented me with the final stone, and he was right, I knew it was the one for the ring. He agreed that it matched my description perfectly. The ring design was completed next and high quality photos were given to me for approval. I once again decided to make changes to the ring. This time adding each of our initials and birth stones to the side of the ring. Mathew agreed it was a very nice touch to the ring. When all was said and done, the final ring came out better then I had ever expected. Mathew said the reaction on my face was priceless. He felt the ring was exactly what I had envisioned for my partner. All this to say, Dixon Jewelers allowed me to come up with exactly what I felt my partner deserved in order to reflect who she is. Dixon Jewelers accepted the challenge and was fully supportive through this LONGER than normal process (only due to my changes :) ). Thank you so much for all your hard work and I look forward to doing more projects with you in the future.

A few weeks ago it stopped working for some reason. I took it to a reputable jeweller and I was told that it needed a replacement movement, but that the replacement unit would not have the illumination feature because it wasn't available. I decided against getting the repair done and I took the watch to another reputable jeweller. This jeweller also checked the watch and told me the same thing. I also decided not to have the repair done. As I mentioned, this watch is very dear to me and I wanted it to work as it was intended. A friend of mine recommended Master Jewellers to me as he so very pleased with their service. I took there and I told the lady how much I cherished this watch, also mentioning the information that I was given from the 2 other jewellers. The lady was familiar with this model of watch and told me that the illumination feature is separate from the movement and it would be retained if a new movement was needed. I agreed to have the inspection and repair done. A few days later she told me that the watch only needed a battery and the existing movement was operating correctly. I was so pleased!!! Not only did it not need a replacement movement that 2 other jewellers told me it would need , but it only needed a battery ! This watch is now woking perfectly just as it had been for so so many years. I highly recommend Master Jewellers to everyone, especially if a treasured item is involved. They are so courteous and honest , such wonderful service !!
