They're spread across Midtown East, Diamond District, Murray Hill, Midtown and Fifth Avenue. Open a listing for the address, hours and directions.
Follow the brand's own guidance, which varies by manufacturer and era. Rolex suggests roughly every 10 years for current models, while older movements and many other brands call for shorter intervals. If the watch's timekeeping or winding changes, service it sooner.
A full service on a time-only mechanical watch usually runs several hundred dollars, and chronographs and complications cost considerably more. Replacement parts, case refinishing and bracelet work are often quoted separately, so ask for a written estimate.
A skilled independent can match a service center on the work itself and is often faster and more flexible. The limit is parts: some brands restrict spares to approved watchmakers, so confirm the shop holds an account for yours.
