Jeweler with a watchmaker

Regard Jewelry 💎

Austin jewelry studio on Burnet Road with an on-site certified watchmaker doing battery swaps, full overhauls, vintage repair and pressure testing on Seiko

Regard Jewelry is primarily a custom jewelry studio in the Allandale area of Austin, but it keeps an on-site certified watchmaker for repair work. Services on offer include battery replacement, full service and overhaul, vintage watch repair, case and bracelet polishing, bracelet sizing, and water resistance (pressure) testing.

The shop services Seiko and Grand Seiko alongside TAG Heuer, Breitling, Tudor and Cartier. The shop says it is an authorized service center for TAG Heuer, Breitling, Tudor and Cartier, though that status is a claim made on its own site and not independently verified here. For customers outside Austin, Regard Jewelry also offers mail-in service, so a watch doesn't have to be dropped off in person to get worked on.

The studio is located at 6800 Burnet Rd #4, open Tuesday through Friday from 10am to 6pm and Saturday from 10am to 4pm, closed Sunday and Monday. Given its jewelry-store setting, it's worth calling ahead at (737) 300-2686 to confirm the watchmaker's schedule and discuss pricing, since the shop's price tier sits in the mid-to-upper range but no specific rates are posted.

Anyone with a vintage piece, a dead battery, or a watch overdue for a full service in one of the serviced brands has a reasonable option here, with the added convenience of mail-in service for those not local to Austin.
