Jeweler with a watchmaker

Henne Jewelers

Shadyside jeweler with an on-site watchmaker servicing Rolex, Tudor, TAG Heuer, Breitling, Cartier and Seiko, plus batteries and vintage repair.

Henne Jewelers is a jewelry store in Shadyside with a watchmaker on site, handling everything from a quick battery swap to a full movement overhaul. The shop services Rolex, Tudor, TAG Heuer, Breitling, Cartier and Seiko, and takes on vintage repairs as well as crystal replacement, bracelet sizing, case and bracelet polishing, and pressure testing for water resistance.

The watchmaker holds an AWCI CW21 certification, and the shop says it is an authorized Rolex service center, though that claim comes from Henne itself rather than from Rolex directly. For customers outside the Pittsburgh area, mail-in service is available.

Pricing starts at $20 for a battery replacement and $250 for a full service, with turnaround typically running two to four weeks depending on the work needed. The shop sits at 5501 Walnut St and keeps regular daytime hours Tuesday through Saturday, staying open later on Wednesdays until 7pm.

For a watch that just needs a fresh battery or a bracelet resized, this is a straightforward stop. For something more involved, like a vintage piece that needs parts sourced or a Rolex due for a full service, the on-site watchmaker and the shop's stated brand authorization make it worth a call before dropping it off.
