Jeweler with a watchmaker

Secrète Fine Jewelry

Secrète Fine Jewelry, a D.C. jeweler on Connecticut Ave NW, has an in-house watchmaker who services Hamilton and Junghans watches.

Secrète Fine Jewelry is a family-run jewelry store in Northwest Washington, D.C., with a watchmaker on staff who handles repair and overhaul work for Hamilton and Junghans timepieces. The shop lists both brands as serviced lines, and it says it is an authorized service center for Hamilton and Junghans, though that status is a claim made by the shop itself rather than something verified independently.

As a jeweler that also does watch work, Secrète fits owners who already shop there for rings or repairs and want to bring a Hamilton or Junghans watch to the same counter rather than seek out a dedicated watchmaker elsewhere. The category here is full service and overhaul, meaning the shop is set up to take on more than quick battery swaps, though specific turnaround times and pricing aren't listed and should be confirmed when you call or visit.

The store is located at 1607 Connecticut Ave NW in Washington, D.C., and is open seven days a week: Monday through Friday from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m., Saturday from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Sunday from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Appointments can be booked through the shop's website, or you can call ahead at (202) 588-7275 to ask about a specific repair before stopping in.
