Jeweler with a watchmaker

I & M Watch Repair & Jewelry

Loop jeweler with an in-house watchmaker handling battery changes, bracelet sizing and full service overhauls on Wabash Ave.

I & M Watch Repair & Jewelry sits on the main floor at 1 N Wabash Ave in the Chicago Loop, combining a jewelry counter with an on-site watchmaker. That setup covers the routine work most watch owners actually need: battery replacement, bracelet sizing to fit a link bracelet properly, and full service and overhaul for mechanical or quartz movements that are running slow, stopping, or due for a cleaning.

As a jeweler with a watchmaker rather than a standalone watch-repair-only operation, it's a practical stop if you're already in the Loop and need something handled without a separate trip across the city. No specific brand authorizations or turnaround times are listed, so if you have a particular make or a time-sensitive repair, it's worth calling ahead to confirm they can take it on and roughly how long it'll take.

The shop keeps fairly standard retail hours, open Monday through Saturday, closed Sundays, which makes it easy to drop by during a lunch break or after work downtown. Call (312) 726-0811 or check the website for current details before heading over, since hours and services can shift.
