Jeweler with a watchmaker

Burnell's Fine Jewelry and Design

Wichita jewelry store with an in-house watchmaker offering battery replacements and bracelet sizing, open Tuesday through Saturday.

Burnell's Fine Jewelry and Design is a full-service jewelry store in Wichita that also handles basic watch work through an on-site watchmaker. The shop lists battery replacement and bracelet sizing among its watch services, which makes it a practical stop for routine watch maintenance rather than complex mechanical repair.

The store's main business is fine jewelry, and its featured designers are jewelry lines such as Gabriel & Co., Sylvie, Simon G., Allison-Kaufman, Dilamani, Parlé, and KC Designs, along with Shinola, which also makes watches. There's no indication the shop performs full movement servicing or works on luxury watch brands beyond what's listed, so anyone with a mechanical watch needing overhaul or a specific high-end brand serviced should call ahead to confirm what the watchmaker can take on.

The shop is located at 550 N Rock Rd Ste 104 in Wichita and has been in business locally for decades according to its own site. It's closed Sundays and Mondays, open Tuesday through Friday from 10:00 am to 5:30 pm, and Saturday from 10:00 am to 5:00 pm. No specific pricing for watch battery replacement or bracelet sizing is published, so expect to ask in person or by phone for a quote.

Given its identity as a jeweler first and watch repair shop second, Burnell's suits owners looking for a quick battery swap or a bracelet adjustment while they're already in for jewelry business, rather than those seeking specialized horological repair.
