Goldsmith Silversmith

Goldsmith Silversmith is a custom jewelry store in Omaha's Old Market District, run by Dwaine Ferguson since 1974. Alongside its custom design work, the shop keeps a watchmaker on site, so watch repair isn't an afterthought tacked onto jewelry sales but a service handled in-house.

For most visitors that means battery replacement and case or bracelet polishing. One Google reviewer described bringing in two watches for battery changes: the watchmaker got one open and swapped the battery, but couldn't open the second case despite trying, and offered to skip the charge on that one. It's a useful data point on what to expect: straightforward batteries get done, but older or unusually sealed cases can be a sticking point, and the shop is upfront about it rather than forcing the issue.

The store sits at 1019 Howard St in the Old Market, open seven days a week, including Sunday afternoons, which is convenient if you're dropping off a watch along with other jewelry business. Hours run into the evening on Fridays and Saturdays (until 9pm) and to 7pm on weekdays, so there's room to stop by outside a standard workday.

There's no brand authorization listed, and no indication this is a dedicated watch repair counter with full movement servicing: it's a goldsmith and silversmith's shop that also handles watch batteries and polishing through its in-house watchmaker. For anything beyond that, like a full service or movement work, it's worth calling ahead to confirm what they can take on.
