Robert Laurence Jewelers

Robert Laurence Jewelers is a jewelry store in Northwest Washington, D.C., with a watchmaker on staff rather than a standalone watch shop. Alongside its jewelry repair and custom work, it offers watch services including battery replacement, bracelet sizing and full service overhauls.

The shop lists Shinola among the brands it services. One customer review on the site describes bringing in a Shinola watch for repair; staff reportedly suggested checking with Shinola first in case the work was covered under warranty, which it was. That anecdote points to familiarity with the brand rather than a formal partnership, and there's no claim of brand authorization to pass along here.

For anything beyond a battery or bracelet adjustment, it's worth calling ahead to ask what a full service or overhaul involves for your specific watch and what it costs, since no pricing is published. The store is located at 1202 G St NW in downtown Washington, a few blocks from Metro Center, making it a convenient stop if you're already working or shopping downtown.

Hours run Monday through Friday, 10:30 a.m. to 4:45 p.m., with no weekend hours listed. That narrow window means planning a visit during a workday lunch break or after-hours errand run, rather than a weekend drop-in.
