Watches near Albany, CA

“I am an Oaks Jeweler loyalist and have been bringing in my jewelry to them for repair for the past 25 years. I couldn't use them this week as they were on vacation and I quickly searched for a nearby jeweler and found Roberto. I walked into his shop and he was chatting with a friend who has been having him make her jewelry for years. Her ring she was wearing was amazing. I soon discovered that Roberto makes almost all of the jewelry in the store. It was an impressive collection including designs made with imported Murano glass beads with gold detailing. My mission was simply to get a watch pin secured and some quick metal repair on a bracelet and necklace. After a delightful conversation and the repairs accomplished, Roberto did not charge me for the repairs! He said it was so simple and to come back again. He also acknowledged that Oaks Jeweler was a fine establishment and he understood why I used them for that many years. He explained how they were different and that they were friendly competitors that send each other their clients often. I can't express to you how delighted I am to find Roberto and I look forward to continuing to use him for future jewelry purchases! Our community should be honored to have him in this neighborhood after all these years. I can't believe it took me so long to discover his shop, his talents, and kindness!”

“First things first... Kelly is the best! My girlfriend and I started our engagement ring purchasing process by looking at other online websites for lab grown diamonds. We had a diamond picked out for her and all we needed was the ring size. We had previously bought a ring from Padis in Walnut Creek and called to get the ring size. Kelly told me the ring size and informed me that their prices were very competitive to other online jewelers. Upon looking at Padis' website, I found out that the ring and setting that I had customized was 40% cheaper than the other online jewelers. We are so happy that we found such a great deal with a local jeweler! We cannot wait to see what it looks like! Thank you again, Kelly.”

“I want to share that I had a good experience with Jen at Oak Jewelry. She was very nice and helped us find the perfect ring for our wedding. She was very professional and assisted us in choosing a ring that we were comfortable affording.”

“Ben helped me with 2 watches from the 90's my mom gave me, a Seiko and an Omega. He quickly replaced the battery in the Seiko. He took time to carefully resize the Omega for me and thoroughly worked on fixing the watch since it wouldn't start working with just a battery replacement. He was so kind and helpful! When I want to replace the movement on my Omega I'll definitely be back here. Thanks Ben!”

“Great service. After scouring eBay for an old Tudor Submariner, I had it serviced and refinished here. Tzipi was super helpful, and she helped source a hard-to-find part, which they were only able to find in the aftermarket. I would definetly come back here.”

“Have been working with Erik for a few months now. Spoke last week, looked at a few watches, he was able to deliver! Walked out today with two new Tudor's that I have been looking for. A+ team and easy to work with. Plan on getting another later this week for a gift and Erik already has it in route.”

“Arkadiy was extremely helpful and generous with his time. Being a master at what he does, he's not a man of many words but knows his craft. He helped with an important watch to me and I'll be back soon for some additional work on others. A real watchmaker, especially with decent prices is not easy to find. I'm glad I found Arkadiy.”

“Garo, Vartan, and Adam are absolutely the best! Garo took the time to educate me about diamond cut, color, clarity and carats. He gave me accurate pricing with fun, friendly conversation. The store is GORGEOUS bright white with clear chairs and wall decor with pretty pink & orange accents. The jewelry is displayed under glass with class. The store is located directly across from Perry's on Union. Complimentary jewelry cleaning for customers. Definitely my top recommendation for Jewelers in San Francisco!”

“Great for watch repairs/batteries and also has a treasure trove of watches for sale spanning several styles and decades including cabinet of character watches (Tasmanian Devil watch anybody?)”

“Great selection of one of a kind rings! Marcus was very knowledgeable, patient, and not pushy when it came to choosing an engagement ring. Just the experience I was looking for. We look forward to designing our own wedding bands here. Come and support this family owned SF business that’s been around 100+ years!”

“Family owned and well respected.. They work with you on every expect even taking the time to share there personal life's and business.. it makes you feel real welcome and wanted”

“This is by far the best watch battery replacement experience I've ever had! The gentleman that runs the shop is extremely nice and courteous. He is able to replace the battery in under five minutes at an extremely reasonable price. I will definitely be returning.”

“I like the store. It's very convenient and the guys there are nice and friendly! I bought some of their Jewelry and made some layaway items. I go there from time to time to check their new items. If I am to pawn my jewelry, I would prefer Maxferd because I feel safe and comfortable in my dealing with them.”

“My visit to Seregin’s jewellery store was truly a standout experience. The level of service provided by Paul and his team was nothing short of exceptional. They went above and beyond to assist me in designing and creating a unique engagement ring for my fiancé.What struck me most was their incredible patience and helpfulness throughout the entire process. Paul took the time to understand my vision, offering valuable insights and suggestions that enhanced the overall design. Their expertise and dedication ensured that the final product not only met but exceeded my expectations.”

“Had the most fun shopping with Chanel this weekend and walked out with a LOVE bangle with diamonds. Even though I was casually dressed (I'm super preggo okay??) Chanel took her time with me even though that gal has a stacked list of clients! What I greatly appreciated about her is how she connects the jewelry to the personality, e.g. rose gold highlights a bit more femininity, the LOVE bracelet is meant to be taken out and worn. That helped narrow my decision very quickly so we were in and out in 30 minutes!! While we were waiting for her to dress up the box, they let me take a photo of my pup in front of the panther wall! Can we get a LOVE collar please??”

“Toni!!!!!!! Well, I can't say enough kind words about Toni and Tourneau! She was a tremendous help in finding a Rolex timepiece that I fell in love with! She was kind, extremely knowledgeable, personable and honest! I waited years longer than I probably should have to start my purchasing journey, but recently felt the time was right (not for any specific reason) to finally purchase my first self bought Rolex timepiece. I very quickly learned that it's not so easy to buy a Rolex. I would say it's just as hard, if not harder, than buying certain high performance sport cars. Being used to that world already, I quickly accepted this as a fact. So like every other first timer, I picked up the phone and started calling around. I travel a work footprint that gets me into close proximity of around 5-6 total ADs. Most of them pretty much required me to come in person to look at watches I probably couldn't even buy because of availability. I'm sure there's a reason for this, but unless I'm 5-20 mins away, I prefer not to spend unnecessary travel time just to try on something and not walk away with it because it's an exhibition piece. Well Toni and Tourneau were the complete opposite of all the other Rolex ADs I had spoken to. Toni helped me with finding a piece I truly love in a manner that was very accommodating to my time invested. Not requiring me to come in physically until I could actually buy the piece. This alone means everything to me! Not only that, but I was able to acquire the watch in roughly only 2 weeks of texting and phone calls with Toni. The in person experience was amazing as well! Showing up to the store we were treated respectfully, timely and professionally. I didn't show up wearing a suit, or any luxury branded clothing that I'd imagine much of their clientele would normally adorn. I was not judged at all and treated with respect & dignity. That's class. Realizing that customers come in all shapes and sizes and not differentiating based on appearance. Since in the end, every $ is the same color. Getting to know Toni as a person was a treat as well. Loved to hear where she had traveled and that one of the places was Turkey. It's always nice to hear people enjoy their time in the country you were born in. Makes them immediately feel like family. I can't imagine I'll ever try to purchase from anywhere else again. Toni and Tourneau have earned my loyalty! The craziest part of this is that it took me years to make the jump to purchase a Rolex, and I'm already ready to buy another haha I'm positive much of that has to do with this experience. Though I'm sure my next piece will not be as easy to acquire, I have faith in Toni and Tourneau! Toni knows what elusive piece I'm looking for and I have no doubt I'll get it in due time! Thank you Toni & Tourneau for the awesome experience!”

“Highly recommend this jewelry store! They were very attentive and patient. When they didn't have what I was looking for, they took my number down and reached out after doing some research. All that to say, they were able to help me.”

“I have been going to see Jessy and Alan at United Watch services for well over a decade to have my watches repaired and maintained. They are honest and straightforward and do excellent work. They have serviced my random vintage finds on eBay, family heirlooms, and vintage and modern Rolexes and Omegas for me over the years and I have always been more than satisfied. I've always felt like family coming in here and hope they continue business for many decades to come.”

“Spent some time with Nicholas P. looking at some watches. He was very professional and knowledgeable with the IWC watches I was interested in. I highly recommend this boutique and ask for Nicholas when you visit.”

“BVLGARI isn't as well known for their watches as the many other Swiss made watch brands. But that doesn't mean that their watches are not awesome. While many brands seem to stick to more traditional looks, BVLGARI is more avant-garde with them designing the Octo Finnisimo which is one of the thinnest watches in the world. Too thin for my tastes but their Octo Roma Worldtimer is a sweet spot in both design and usefulness covering 24 time zones. I was helped by a sales person named Lulu. She was very helpful and knowledgeable about the watches. Great customer service. On past visits I have looked at the rings and jewelry but I'm more interested in their watches. Overall a great place to shop if you like BVLGARI products.”

“Great experience at this location! I went in for an ink refill and ended up chatting with one of the associate about a new pen (I can’t remember his name). He patiently showed me all the different options and introduced me to a couple I wasn’t familiar with along with A TON of great information. I ended up buying a new pen along with the ink refill! I appreciate the great service!”

“I had bought a vintage AP watch and needed to have the bracelet fitted. I went to Shreve even though they don't carry AP, and they referred me here - and I'm so glad they did! It was a simple operation, but Jean-Pierre and Anne Marie asked me a number of questions about the watch, and let me know that one link had a missing screw and one had a damaged screw head - they had given me an extra screw for my spare link. Very efficient and professional, and a great view to boot! And for the 1-star review complaining about credit cards - now they do accept them :)”

“I will always suggest shopping at Given Gold, because you will not be taken advantage of. This industry is solely based on demand and if you go to most jewelry places you will be paying out the nose for mediocre quality jewelry. Dan West is a skilled jeweler, and does not take advantage of others. He is kind hearted and had a beautiful selection of treasures from popular to vintage it a great price. Please consider supporting this business”

“I wanted to shout out to Peter, young gentleman helped me with my Gucci watch. He didn't hesitate to help me. I explained my situation and he replaced new battery. I asked him how much. He said no costs. I was in total shock. I insisted paying him. He said no. He advised that my watch did not pass some kind of test and recommended to go to repair shop that specialized on Gucci brand. I was so touched. In return, I looked around other watches at his shop and decided to buy a nicer watch for myself. Thank you Peter!. You made my week.”

“In my travels on Earth viewing luxury, I discovered the Rolex Presidental in the country of Aruba located at the Renaissance Mall. The decision was made to one day add it to my future collection. The Rolex quote is spot on "The Day-Date is the watch of a global, multicultural, and ever-changing world." Rolex Boutique Tourneau San Francisco was where I sent emails and Toni responded and I was texted with the depressing No! we do not have that at the moment. However, Toni presented me with other configurations that were not to my liking and I kindly declined and preferred to wait. Toni is a specialist in the business and soon texted me the watch is fresh and just come in and will be sold on a first come first serve basis. I was informed I had 24 hours to shuffle finances and maneuver through traffic and disruptions to meet and greet the handler of my ultimate dream watch. For the next 3 hours I was on tour in suit and tie displaying the masterpiece. The new goal in the next 3 months is to purchase a everyday piece the Yacht-Master 42.”

“Friendly and well informed staff. I didn't buy anything, but still had a good experience. I usually shop at the same store in another location, and I always enjoy my purchases there. It was nice to see the same quality at another location.”

“This is the only watch repair place in the East Bay that I trust. Recently took a watch that was messed up by another repair guy to the Hospital and they fixed it without fuss. Worth going out of your way for if you're in need of watch repair.”

“Mozaffarian’s name speaks for itself but i am leaving the review because of my amazing experience. My husband bought my engagement ring from Mozaffarian. It is 3.5 carats of perfection. I am a physician and I have been wearing my beautiful ring everyday during the time of covid (lots of hand washing). My ring continues to look flawless, elegant. I can say that in love with my ring and it matches my hand perfectly. There is so much attention to detail in this ring. But the plot thickens. I knew about Mozaffarian from my mother who bought all her jewelry from them when she was young. Her jewelry still looks beautiful and classic, just like her. Of course, we looked at other high-end jewelry stores but there was no comparison.”

“New owners are a lovely couple and spent a very long time helping me pick out a watch. If you're looking for a Seiko watch I highly suggest coming here. They also have extremely good prices compared to online and other stores selling the same brands.”
