24hr Watch & Clock Repairs

Independent watchmaker in McLean, Virginia, handling battery swaps and full watch and clock overhauls, open Tuesday through Saturday.

24hr Watch & Clock Repairs is an independent watchmaker located on Chain Bridge Road in McLean, just outside Washington, D.C. The shop covers the basics most owners need, from a simple battery replacement to a complete overhaul and restoration of a timepiece. It also works on clocks, not just wristwatches, which is worth knowing if you've got a mantel or wall clock that's stopped keeping time.

The business describes itself as serving the DMV area for over 40 years, handling repair, buying, and selling of watches and clocks. No specific brand list or pricing is published, so it's worth calling ahead or stopping in to confirm whether your particular watch brand is something they service and what a job is likely to cost.

Walk-ins are welcome during business hours, and the shop is open Tuesday through Friday from 10am to 5pm, and Saturday from 10am to 3pm. It's closed Sunday and Monday. For anything beyond a quick battery swap, it's reasonable to call first and ask about turnaround time, since that's not listed on the site either.
