Independent watchmaker
The Clock & Watch Shop
Independent New Orleans shop repairs vintage and modern watches, including Seiko, Citizen and Bulova, with battery changes and bracelet sizing done in-house.
The Clock & Watch Shop, on Gravier Street in New Orleans' Central Business District, is an independent watchmaker handling everything from a dead battery to a full movement overhaul. The shop works on Seiko, Citizen and Bulova watches, and its listed recognition is specifically for Seiko and Grand Seiko repair work.
An on-site watchmaker does battery replacement, bracelet sizing and vintage watch repair, so older pieces that need parts sourcing or hand-fitting don't have to leave the building. Full service and overhaul work is also offered, meaning a watch can go in for cleaning, lubrication and regulation rather than just a quick fix.
Beyond wristwatches, the shop also repairs clocks, including grandfather and wall clocks, and offers house calls for those too large or delicate to transport. This broader clock and antique-restoration background, going back to the shop's founding in 1958, is part of what sets it apart from repair counters that only handle batteries and straps.
The shop is open Monday through Friday from 9am to 5pm, with occasional Saturday hours that vary, so it's worth calling ahead if a weekend visit is needed. For anything beyond a simple battery swap, bringing the watch in or calling first to describe the issue is the straightforward way to get a sense of turnaround.
