All In Time Inc - Philadelphia Watch Repair & Clock Repair
Fox Chase, Philadelphia shop doing battery swaps, full overhauls, polishing and crystal work on-site for Seiko, Citizen, Bulova and other brands.
All In Time is an independent watch and clock repair shop in the Fox Chase section of Philadelphia, run out of a storefront on Oxford Ave. The business was started in 2010 by Paul Piehl and Roman Fridman, who had previously spent decades working for the Jules Jurgensen company.
Work is done on-site by an in-house watchmaker rather than sent out, and covers the full range from quick battery replacements and crystal or strap swaps to complete overhauls, case and bracelet polishing, water resistance (pressure) testing, and vintage watch repair. They also handle clock repair, including mantel, wall, cuckoo and grandfather clocks. Brands they regularly service include Citizen, Helbros, Jules Jurgensen, Seiko, Rhythm, Bulova and Howard Miller, and the shop is noted for its work on Seiko and Grand Seiko pieces specifically.
Turnaround is described as fast, with simple jobs like battery changes often done same-visit. The shop also buys gold and silver and has run a promotion offering a free battery with a gold sale, though current terms should be confirmed directly.
All In Time is open Monday through Friday from 10am to 6pm and Saturday 10am to 3pm, closed Sundays. It's a walk-in friendly setup for straightforward jobs, though anything more involved, like an overhaul or vintage repair, is worth a call ahead to check timing and cost before bringing the piece in.
