Bernie's and Son Jewelers

Bernie's and Son Jewelers is a jewelry store in downtown St. Petersburg, on Beach Dr NE, that also keeps a watchmaker on site for watch repair work. The shop's recognized specialty is Seiko and Grand Seiko repair, and the listed service category covers full servicing and overhaul rather than just quick fixes.

Having the watchmaker in-house means work can be done on the premises rather than shipped out, which is worth asking about if timing matters for a Seiko that needs a movement service, a gasket replacement, or general overhaul work. As a combined jeweler and watchmaker, the shop fits the profile of a stop that can handle both a piece of jewelry and a mechanical watch in the same visit.

No pricing or turnaround times are published, so those details are worth confirming with the shop directly when you call or stop in. The business has been operating since 1977, according to its own site, though that history relates to the jewelry side of the business generally rather than specifically to watch repair.

Hours run Monday through Saturday, 10:30 am to 5:00 pm, with no Sunday hours. The location is in the Beach Drive corridor of downtown St. Petersburg, making it a reasonably central stop if you're already in the area for other errands.
