    Great staff, very knowledgeable and they take their time to show you and help you with trying watches and also help you when making the right decision either for you or as a gift, highly recommended for buying and also great when servicing your watches from vintage to new watches.

    Amazing place ! I had been looking in the area to buy a seiko watch and I had found this place. I went in there and Dee was super helpful , I got a watch for my girlfriend and one for myself. I will for sure be coming back as they won themselves lifetime customers.

    Checked out Time Center today and it exceeded expectations. Dee was welcoming, helpful, and made the whole process easy. She gave me a great deal on two G-Shock models and helped me get started on my collection. Will definitely be back.

    My boyfriend and I just made our very first big watch purchase here, and I can't say enough good things about the experience. From the moment we walked in, the staff was incredibly attentive without ever making us feel rushed. They patiently walked us through all of our options, answering every single question (and we had a lot as first-time buyers!). What stood out the most was how knowledgeable Dee was about the details and craftsmanship of each watch, but also about what would best suit my boyfriend's style and needs. She took the time to explain everything in a way that made us feel confident in our choice. On top of that, their pricing was more than fair for the quality and service we received. We never once felt pressured. What could've been an overwhelming process into something genuinely exciting and memorable. We left not only with a beautiful watch, but also with the kind of experience that makes you want to come back again. I truly recommend this store to anyone looking for honesty, patience, and expertise. Thank you, Dee!

    Customer service was amazing. They are the sweetest people!! They had a wide array of citizen, seiko and citizen watches for both men and women. Prices were great. Will definitely be coming back!

    Rare and vintage SUTTON tank watch (very dainty)
    Rezianne R.

    I have 4 vintage seiko watches that needed battery and Time Center did it in 20 minutes. What I was most impressed about was them fixing my very rare and dainty Sutton Tank watch (measuring about 14-15mm). They told me that I needed a new movement because the battery corroded the parts and it will take a week. I didn't mind that because they knew where to order the parts/movement. My whole collection is working and I'm a happy customer!

    Love my Seiko from Time Center so much, I came back to get my lady a Christmas Gift. Thank you, Time Center!

    Had an amazing experience with the folks over at Time Center! I've been looking for a new watch to gift myself for an accomplishment in my career and I found the exact model I wanted. The owners and their daughter were all so friendly and helpful and really made me feel welcomed there. They were able to carry the warranty on my new watch as well as offer a really good deal on the watch I wanted and I will certainly be going back here for repairs, maintenance and to purchase new watches! If I could give this business a 10 star review I would!

    Great experience! The couple who run the shop were friendly, straightforward, and professional. Such a great family owned business. Picked up a beautiful Seiko watch I'm really happy with, and they also replaced the battery on one of my older watches right away and also gifted me and my girlfriend with a great watch box. I'll definitely be back for future repairs and more watches.

    Came to get a regular battery to replace solar powered battery that was losing charge quite often. Saw this sign and had to check in.

    Took a little bit of time to replace the solar powered battery with a regular battery in my G-Shock G-Shock G-2130. While I waited I enjoyed looking at the watches under the glass though. There was a large selection of G-Shocks. Friendly employee who helped.

    Time and time again, I will always come back. Absolutely great service. They are quick with repairs and extremely knowledgeable. They treat you right and care for their customers.

    See all

    Do you guys have a way to see what you have in stock or social media?

    No. The best bet is to give them a call. If you have a reference number on a particular watch, that would be even better. They are super helpful on the phone too.

    Do you do engraving on the back of watches?

It came with an appraisal stating a value of $14,000. Shortly after, I returned to have the ring resized and was told they also buy gold and jewelry. I brought in additional items and was given store credit. Later, I returned to use the remaining credit and was told by the owner that I had no credit left and would have to pay again. There was no clear record provided, no transparency, and no effort to resolve the discrepancy. I was essentially told the credit didn't exist anymore, and I had no documentation to challenge it at the time. In 2026, I scheduled an appointment to sell the same ring back to them. I clearly stated on the phone that I was bringing in a ring originally purchased from their store. When I arrived, they inspected it along with the appraisal, then told me they were not buying diamonds due to market conditions and lab-grown diamonds affecting resale value. This should have been communicated when I made the appointment. Instead, I wasted time going in for a meeting that should never have been scheduled. Overall, my experience with this business has been inconsistent, poorly communicated, and unprofessional. While they do carry attractive jewelry, I personally do not trust their business practices or transparency.

    I want to share my awful experience I had with Time Palace Jeweler. I had to call the police for…read morecivil standby to retrieve a valuable Cartier watch that was handed down to me. I went to Time Palace after reading good reviews and one where a Cartier watch was revived. My watch was given to me by my father and had a lot of value for me. I went for a battery replacement. Al looked at the watch and opened the casing. He found that the battery was corroded and said a new battery would not fix the watch. He said he would have to clean the corrosion and determine the extent of the damage. I asked him how much it would cost. He said $800 to clean the watch and then there would likely be additional charges if the quartz mechanism needed further parts. He said he was a 'master watchmaker' and he could repair it for less than Cartier who would probably need parts from abroad and it would take weeks for them to fix and could cost up to $2500. As he seemed like he was experienced and I badly wanted the watch working, I agreed to the price and the work. Later that day, I wanted to learn more about the corrosive damage caused by the battery. To my surprise, an AI research revealed that if the Cartier quartz movement is compromised by a battery leakage, the quartz mechanism is replaced as the time and cost involved to clean the watch is not cost effiicent. Furthermore, if the circuit board is compromised, there is no need to clean the watch, a new mechanism is needed. When i put into Google gemini that Mr AL was charging me $800 just to clean the watch.. I was strongly recommended to halt all work and retrieve my watch from AL. He would ultimately be charging me 4-5x the cost to repair the watch with Cartier ... Seeing this, I contacted Al that evening and he told me he spent 5 hours cleaning the watch and that I would need a new circuit board that would cost me $450 because he had ordered it for me, despite no agreement for this on my part. I told him I would be picking up the watch the next day and to halt all work. He let me know that I could pick it up disassembled and that I had to pay CASH. At this point, I was not feeling confident of the intergrity of the service he was providing and I did not wish to pay cash, but rather have the consumer protection of a credit card. Regardless, my cartier was very valuable and i had to get it back from him. I also contacted Cartier who offered to evaluate the damage of my watch. When I went to retrieve my watch, I let Al know I would not pay him for the circuit board he ordered, which I did not agree to. But I would however, pay him the $800 through my credit card. He refused, to accept my credit card payment. I let him know he can't keep my watch if I am offering him payment as he told me earlier I could pay with credit card but with his 5% surcharge. He refused and told me to get out of his store harshly. He said I was trying to take advantage of him ... Thus I walked out, and called the police for a civil standby. Al had my very expensive Cartier watch and was refusing to give it back to me, despite my willingness to pay by credit card. The police did come tho the store, and a conversation ensued. An agreement was then reached where I would use my Debit card to pay the $800. I thought about refusing to pay by cash or debit and take him to court. But the watch AL was holding was very valuable. Thus, I ended up agreeing to an $800 charge to my debit card and Al tacked on his 5% surcharge which is actually illegal. I was able to take the watch to Cartier immediately after I left the store. They said it is not uncommon for a leaking battery to damage a cartier quartz mechanism, but that it could be overahauled for $450, just as Google Gemini said. Al, the master watchmaker, knew all along what Cartier would do perhaps, and he decided to tell me he could do the work for less, charge me an unecessary $800 cleaning for 'rust damage' and then order me a circuit board that would cost me $450, not including the labor. Cartier said that once the battery damages the quartz mechanism, it is too costly and inefficient to clean the watch to repair it. Yet, AL the master watchmaker decided to take the expensive and inefficient route with my Cartier watch. PLease be safe out there.
