Crown Jewels & Coin

Crown Jewels & Coin is a jewelry and coin store on San Mateo Blvd in Albuquerque that also runs a watch repair bench with an on-site watchmaker. The shop handles the routine work that keeps a watch running: battery replacements, bracelet sizing, and full service overhauls.

Brand-wise, the listed service work centers on Movado, and the shop says it is an authorized Movado service center, though that claim comes from the business itself rather than from Movado directly. A full service or overhaul typically takes two to four weeks, so this isn't a same-day fix for anything beyond a quick battery swap or bracelet adjustment.

Because Crown Jewels & Coin is primarily a jewelry and coin retailer, the watch repair side operates alongside engagement rings, custom design work, and a bullion counter. That setup can be convenient if you're already stopping in for jewelry work, but it also means watch repair is one part of a broader retail operation rather than a dedicated watchmaker's shop.

The store is open seven days a week except Sunday, with consistent 10am to 5pm hours Monday through Saturday. For anything outside battery changes or sizing, calling ahead or booking an appointment is worth doing given the multi-week turnaround on full services.
