The Watch Pocket is a jewelry and watch shop in Silver Spring that has been run by the Stohlman family since 1970, founded by John Stohlman and now operated by his son Matthew. On the watch side, the shop handles battery replacements, full service and overhaul work, and repairs on vintage pieces, alongside its jewelry, clock, and antiques business.
As a jeweler with an in-house watchmaker, the setup suits someone bringing in an old family watch alongside a ring resize or a battery swap on a quartz piece.
