Jeweler with a watchmaker

Le Vive Jewelry

Riverside jeweler with an on-site watchmaker for battery changes, polishing, bracelet sizing and pressure testing on Rolex, Omega and other brands.

Le Vive Jewelry is a jewelry store in the Magnolia Center area of Riverside that also runs watch repair work out of the same shop, with a watchmaker on site rather than sending pieces out. That in-house setup covers the routine jobs most watch owners need: battery replacements, case and bracelet polishing, bracelet sizing, and water resistance (pressure) testing after a case has been opened.

The brand list they work on includes Rolex, Omega, Tudor, TAG Heuer, Breitling, Cartier and Seiko, which covers most of the common luxury and everyday watches people bring in for service. Full service and overhaul work is offered alongside the smaller jobs, so a watch that needs more than a new battery or a polish can be handled at the same location.

No pricing has been published for specific services, and Le Vive Jewelry sits in the moderate-to-higher price range typical of jewelers who also do watch work, rather than a pure battery-and-strap counter. Anyone wanting a quote for a service, battery swap, or polish should call ahead, since turnaround times and exact costs aren't listed and will depend on the watch and the work needed.

The shop is open Monday through Friday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., and closed on weekends. It's located at 6718 Magnolia Ave in Riverside, and can be reached by phone at (951) 202-7697 to check on appointment availability or ask about a specific brand or repair before stopping in.
