Jeweler with a watchmaker

Throckmorton's Watches & Jewelry

Oak Hill jeweler and watchmaker in Austin doing full service and overhaul work on Rolex, Luminox and Tissot watches.

Throckmorton's Watches & Jewelry is a jewelry store with an in-house watchmaker on the W US Hwy 290 Service Rd in Oak Hill, on Austin's west side. Alongside jewelry and knives, the shop handles watch repair and full service and overhaul work, with listed experience on Rolex, Luminox and Tissot.

The shop says it is an authorized Rolex service center, a claim worth confirming directly if that status matters for your particular repair. It's also listed for Rolex and TAG Heuer watch repair work more broadly, suggesting staff who are comfortable with mechanical movements beyond simple battery swaps.

No pricing or turnaround times are published on the site, so anyone bringing in a watch should call ahead to ask what a specific repair or service will cost and how long it will take. The shop is open Monday through Friday from 10:00 to 17:30 and Saturday from 11:00 to 16:00, closed Sundays.

Given the jewelry-and-knives side of the business, this reads as a general counter shop that also does serious watch work rather than a dedicated watchmaker's bench — worth keeping in mind if you're looking for a specialist versus a one-stop shop.
