Watch Repair & Co

Independent Manhattan watchmaker in the Diamond District offering full service, battery changes, crystal and bracelet work on Rolex, Tudor, Breitling and more.

Watch Repair & Co sits on W 47th St in Manhattan's Diamond District and handles the full range of day-to-day watch work: battery replacement, crystal replacement, bracelet sizing, case and bracelet polishing, and water-resistance testing. There's an on-site watchmaker for full service and overhaul jobs, and vintage repairs are part of the regular workload alongside modern pieces.

The shop services Rolex, Breitling, Patek Philippe, TAG Heuer and Tudor, and the shop says it is an authorized service center for Rolex, Breitling, TAG Heuer and Tudor. That's the shop's own claim rather than something confirmed by the brands, so it's worth asking directly if authorization status matters for your piece. The technicians hold CW21 certification.

For anyone outside the city, or who doesn't want to make the trip to 47th Street, Watch Repair & Co takes in mail-in service, so a watch can be shipped rather than dropped off in person. Pricing sits in the mid-range tier for the area, though exact costs aren't listed and are worth confirming for a specific repair.

The shop is open Monday through Friday, with slightly shorter hours on Fridays, and closed on weekends. It's an independent operation rather than a brand boutique, which tends to mean more flexibility on older or discontinued models alongside the current Rolex and Tudor lineups it's authorized to touch.
