Jeweler with a watchmaker
Magic Touch Jewelry and Watch Repair
Mission Valley jeweler with an on-site CW21 watchmaker offering same-day battery, crystal, and polish work on Rolex, Cartier, TAG Heuer, Breitling, Seiko.
Magic Touch Jewelry and Watch Repair sits in the Friars Mission Center at 5658 Mission Center Road, and it runs with a watchmaker on-site who holds AWCI's CW21 certification. That's the credential to look for if a shop claims real bench training rather than just a battery drawer.
The bench work covers the basics most owners need: battery replacement, crystal replacement, and case and bracelet polishing, plus full service and overhaul for more involved jobs. Brands named on the shop's own list include Rolex, Cartier, TAG Heuer, Breitling, Movado, Citizen, Seiko, Bulova, and MOMO Design, and the shop states it services all brands beyond that list as well. Turnaround on standard work such as battery swaps is same day.
Because this is a jewelry store with a watchmaker rather than a dedicated watch-only operation, the same counter also handles ring sizing, stone setting, chain repair, engraving, and pearl restringing, so it's a reasonable stop if someone is dropping off a watch and a piece of jewelry together.
Hours run 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday and 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday, with the shop closed Sunday. No pricing is published on the page, so anyone with a specific repair in mind should call ahead and confirm cost and whether the job can be done same day or needs to be left.
