    The Quality of work and customer service is unmatched. Absolutely the best customer service I have ever received! Don't hesitate to come here because he will take care of you and make you feel at home. The service in the watches was quick and inexpensive! I am very happy I came here to get some stuff done on a men's and women's watch! Awesome place to forever do business with !

    He replaced the mushroom pin on my Tissot Seastar in about 5 minutes. Very nice guy! I would highly recommend.

    He's a real find- a guy who does the repairs in house. He repaired my wife's watch and replaced the battary in 30 mins.

    Shlomo was very kind, welcoming, and worked quickly to repair the watch. I will definitely be coming back for any future repairs.

    Some of my watches have curved crystals, my local jeweler won't touch them.

    Where do I start? Philippe is a talented jeweler; one who's obviously spent years perfecting his…read morecraft and creating a line of jewelry that delights! My fiancé purchased a diamond and Phillippe ordered a special box for it. The surprise proposal was perfect and I was delighted that it came with the opportunity to custom design a ring with Phillippe! He was friendly and warm. He really listened to my thoughts as we looked through his styles and we quickly narrowed down what direction I wanted. The ring took three weeks, but was SO worth the wait. I'm getting endless compliments and I find myself meditating regularly because I'm so entranced when the sun or any light hits it. The ring feels so ME! Prices here are not cheap and you cannot just walk in and shop. You must set up an appointment first. This is because they only sell a certain caliber of diamond and the settings are engineered and created in house. They only have a small handful of settings that are prong. All of Phillippe's bezeled and tension settings are a work of ART. People must understand how this is different from the average jewelers everyone recognizes the name of. His work is meant to be cherished and family heirlooms. His business is clean and his staff is courteous. 10000/10!

    I took a family member's vintage watch, not a fancy one, in to have it cleaned. I found Mr Medawar…read moreto be patronizing at the time and was astounded at what he charged me to clean a watch, over $1,000. When I picked it up, he told me (patronizingly again) that he'd spent far more time working on it than he'd expected, and what a favor he was doing for me by not charging more than the original estimate. A couple of weeks ago, same watch started running fast, but after my initial experience at Phillipe Medwar, I was not going back to him for repair. I took it to another certified watchmaker who told me my watch had been oiled with some cheap gunk used by jewelers when they don't want to take it apart to give it real service. He said this gunk was the butt of jokes among watch repairers. He cleaned it (for real this time) for *$150*. Interestingly, the second watchmaker had been offered a job by one of the Medawars after he graduated from his program and he decided not to take it based on his interaction with them. He went on to own two jewelry stores of his own in central Michigan. So he seems pretty legit. I concur with other reviewers who mentioned Mr. Medawar's ego. That and the way he spoke to me as if I was an idiot had already convinced me I would never go back. My now perfectly working watch with the $150 cleaning confirms it.
