Kassow Jewelry Repair & Watch Repair

Houston jeweler on Hillcroft Ave does watch battery swaps in about 15 minutes for $10 and handles bracelet sizing alongside its jewelry repair work.

Kassow Jewelry Repair & Watch Repair is a family-run jeweler in Houston's Mahatma Gandhi District that also handles basic watch work. A battery replacement runs $10 and is typically done within 15 minutes, making it a quick stop rather than a drop-off-and-wait job.

Beyond batteries, the shop offers bracelet sizing for watches, along with link removal and addition, so a metal band that's too loose or too tight can be adjusted on the spot. This sits alongside its core jewelry repair trade, which covers chain soldering, clasp replacement, prong rebuilding, and stone tightening — useful context if a watch comes in with a metal bracelet or case that needs more than a battery.

As a jeweler with an in-house watchmaker rather than a dedicated watch repair specialist, this is the kind of place suited to everyday service needs: a dead battery, a bracelet that needs a link removed, or a strap adjustment. The page doesn't list movement servicing, water resistance testing, or brand-specific repair work, so anything more involved than a battery or bracelet job is worth a phone call first.

The shop is open Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday from noon to 6pm, and closed Tuesday and Sunday. It's located at 5711 Hillcroft Ave, Suite B-1C, in Houston.
