Jeweler with a watchmaker

1 Hour Jewelry and Watch Repair

Gretna jeweler near New Orleans with an on-site watchmaker handling Rolex service, battery swaps, polishing and bracelet sizing, often same day.

1 Hour Jewelry and Watch Repair is a jewelry store in Gretna, just outside New Orleans, with an on-site watchmaker who handles watch work alongside the jewelry side of the business. The watchmaker holds the AWCI CW21 certification and the shop says it is a Rolex authorized service center, though that claim comes from the business itself and isn't something a directory can verify.

On the bench, the shop covers the basics most people walk in for: battery replacement, bracelet sizing, and case and bracelet polishing. It also does full service and overhaul work, with Rolex named as the brand it services. Turnaround is advertised as same day, which fits the shop's broader positioning around fast jewelry repair.

Hours run long and seven days a week, opening at 7:30am daily and closing between 6pm and just before 8pm depending on the day, which makes it easier to drop off a watch around a work schedule. The shop has built up a large base of Google reviews, mostly centered on its jewelry repair and gold buying services rather than watch work specifically, so it's worth calling ahead to confirm they can take on a particular watch brand or repair before making the trip.
