Time and Chime

Independent Pittsburgh watchmaker on Murray Ave handling battery swaps, vintage repairs and bracelet sizing for Rolex, Omega and TAG Heuer, usually within two

Time and Chime is a one-watchmaker shop in Greenfield, working on modern and vintage pieces across a range of brands but with particular focus on Rolex, Omega and TAG Heuer. The shop says it is an authorized service center for all three brands, though that status is a claim made by the business rather than something verified independently.

Day to day work includes battery replacement, bracelet and band sizing, and stem or crown swaps using genuine parts. There's an on-site watchmaker handling full services and overhauls as well as vintage repairs, including older pieces where parts can be harder to source. Typical turnaround is under two weeks, which covers ordering parts when needed rather than just the repair itself.

Pricing sits in the mid-range for the area (price tier 2 of 4), and no exact figures are listed, so it's worth calling ahead for a quote on your specific watch. The shop is open Monday through Friday 9am to 5pm and Saturday 9am to 2pm, closed Sundays.

The business is set up as an independent watchmaker rather than a chain or jeweler's counter, with repairs and inspections done in-house. For anything unusual — an odd case back, a non-standard bracelet link, a discontinued movement — it's the kind of place willing to take a look before declining the job outright, based on past customer accounts.
