Jeweler with a watchmaker

Powers Jewelry Designers

Downtown Milwaukee jeweler with an in-house watchmaker servicing Rolex and Citizen watches, including vintage repairs and full overhauls.

Powers Jewelry Designers is a long-running jewelry store in Milwaukee's Juneau Town, at 301 E Wisconsin Ave, that also runs an in-house watchmaking operation. Beyond rings and gemstones, the shop takes in Rolex and Citizen watches for repair, including full service and overhaul work and vintage watch repair.

The shop says it is a Rolex authorized service center, a claim worth confirming directly if that status matters for your particular piece. Staff also work on vintage timepieces, so older Rolex and Citizen watches with wear, missing parts, or mechanical issues are within their scope. The store's GIA certification applies to its diamond and gemstone business rather than watch work, but it does underline that this is an established jewelry operation with technical staff on-site, not a drop-off kiosk.

Powers Jewelry Designers is open Tuesday through Friday from 10am to 6pm and Saturday from 10am to 5pm, closed Sunday and Monday. The shop also advertises buying used Rolex watches outright, including pieces with wear, missing bracelets, or that need work, which is a separate service from repair but worth knowing if you're deciding whether to fix or sell. No specific repair pricing or turnaround times are listed, so those details are best confirmed by phone or through the shop's online appointment scheduler before dropping off a watch.
