Jeweler with a watchmaker

Watch Technicians - Jewelry & Watch Repairs

This Creve Coeur jeweler has an on-site watchmaker doing battery swaps, crystal and bracelet work, polishing and full overhauls on brands from Rolex to Seiko.

Watch Technicians' Creve Coeur location, at Olive Blvd and Craig Rd next to Dierbergs, is a jeweler with a watchmaker on the bench for both quick fixes and longer repairs. Day-to-day work covers battery replacement, crystal and crown/stem repair, bracelet sizing, case and bracelet polishing, and pressure testing for water resistance. For mechanical watches they do full service and overhaul work, vintage watch restoration, and mail-in service for anyone outside the St. Louis area.

The shop services a wide range of brands, including Rolex, Omega, TAG Heuer, Movado, Citizen, Seiko, Invicta, Bulova, Fossil and Shinola. The shop says it is a factory-authorized service center for Seiko, Citizen, Invicta and Bulova, and authorized specifically for battery replacement on Shinola; work on Rolex, Omega, TAG Heuer and Movado is done independently rather than under factory authorization.

Pricing starts at $19.99 for a battery replacement and $199 for a full service, with other work quoted after a free inspection. Turnaround varies by job: battery swaps are typically done in about 15 minutes, crystal replacement runs 1-5 days, and a full overhaul takes 4-6 weeks. Repairs come with a 12-month warranty.

The Creve Coeur shop is open Monday through Saturday, 9 AM to 5 PM, closed Sunday, with free parking out front. Walk-ins are accepted, and the company also operates locations in Des Peres, Chesterfield and South County for anyone closer to those areas.
