Hoursmiths

Hoursmiths is an independent watchmaker's shop in downtown Boise, Idaho, focused on full service and overhaul work along with vintage watch repair. It's a storefront that also sells pre-owned and new watches, including its own A. Vierra Chronometers line, so the shop functions as both a repair bench and a small retail counter.

The site notes the shop has been dealing with heavy demand: as of this listing, Hoursmiths was not accepting new service intake until October 2026, and starting August 31, 2026, Monday visits shift to appointment-only. Anyone with a watch in need of work should check current intake status before dropping by, since backlogs and scheduling have clearly affected how the shop takes on new jobs.

Open hours run Tuesday through Friday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., with no listed hours on Monday, Saturday or Sunday. No pricing, turnaround times, or specific brand authorizations are listed on the page, so anyone with a particular brand or budget in mind should call ahead at (208) 914-6996 or check hoursmiths.com directly.

Given the focus on vintage repair and full overhauls, this looks like a shop better suited to older mechanical pieces and complete teardown service rather than quick battery swaps, though that should be confirmed with the shop before bringing in a watch.
