Timemasters and More

These guys can fix anything, and what they don’t know about fixing any kind of timepieces, isn’t known to me. Every time I’ve brought them something, they nailed it. First time, all the time and never for an arm or a leg.
Love these guys. Absolute touchstone business. 10+ years experience with them.

This shop has helped me with an ill-​fitting watchband before; now they installed and adjusted the same seven-​year old watch. They’re prompt and will do the work while-​you-​wait if possible. You certainly cannot beat their prices in LA! I gladly drove the extra miles just to return on a Tuesday since I hadn’t read their hours carefully (closed on Mondays!). Glad I did.

I have passed by this shop many times but never stopped. I saw positive reviews here, so I wanted to check it out myself.
I wish I would’ve stopped by earlier! Needed to get a replacement battery for one watch and also fix a pin on another watch’s band that wasn’t fixed properly at another place. I intended to drop both watches off and pickup later… both were done in less than 5 minutes! Now that is service!
Going to tell friends and family about this place if they ever need their watches serviced. Friendly and prompt service at a very reasonable price!

I had been driving around all day trying to find someone to fix a music box. This music box is part of a big Pinocchio snowglobe where gepetto is playing his accordion and Pinocchio is dancing. The music box stopped working and so one of the places I went to was here. I Unilocaled a place while I was in the area and this place came up. When I went in I was greeted by the nicest guy. I believe he was the owner. Didn’t see anyone else. He came over and took a look. Although he couldn’t do anything to fix the music box he was really sweet and very personable. It’s like that once in a blue moon sort of deal when you meet someone and you can just tell from talking to them they wouldn’t hurt a fly. Anyways I appreciate people like him. There should be more people like him around as opposed to the rest of the mongrels who walk this earth.

I just bought a new watch online and had to get it fitted so I took it here. Itd a small shop but the people running it know exactly what they’re doing. They were able to size my watch in like five minutes and it only cost 8 bucks so it didn’t hurt the wallet at all. If I ever need to bring mg watch in for a repair I would definitely come here because of their superior customer service.

This is the only place I go to when my watches need any sort of service. Charlie is the best at what he does.

They are very friendly, very knowledgeable and Faster.
I needed a new battery, replacement my really expensive watch at last week. Then I was looking for high level repair shop.
I went to there it was very quick. And really cheep price it was awesome!
You should Go, if you have Swiss watch or Japanese Brand, they will take care of you and very reasonable. (2times cheep than other shops)

Chuck, has worked on over 15 of my watches! I have always been a happy customer! Keep up the great customer service and you’ll always have loyal customers like me!!!

I love this neighborhood store! Today I went there to change my watch battery and Charlie (one of the owners) noticed and tried to fix a little problem with the nob (?) on the watch, explaining to me that while it won’t affect the normal functions, I should not get the watch wet. I think he would’ve fixed it for free if he could do so without special parts or equipments. Knowledgeable, thoughtful, trust-​worthy and excellent. I highly recommend Timemasters!

Super helpful and nice man! His dog was super cute and friendly too! He fixed our wall clock in minutes and let us choose our new clock hands. He even gave us a warranty/​guarantee! I would definitely come back here again to get a new watch or get clock/​watch fixed. I Recommend this place!

This is the place for all your watch and clock needs. Service is friendly, efficient, professional and prompt. I recommend coming here to get your watch batteries replaced, as you are always better off getting a professional watch guy to do this. Also come here for replacing or resizing wrist bands, and repair of watches or clocks. They have a large selection of watches for sale, and a ton of different wrist bands. Also note: they have a good selection of wall clocks on sale, some very elegant and high-​end.

Awesome place to get your watch fixed or any watch needs really. The guy is really cool. He resized my watch within 5 min for an amazing price. And to anyone reading this keep in mind the guy looks Hispanic but he’s actually Italian so don’t go in there talking Spanish says he get that a lot lol but it’s awesome here

Having lived in Torrance since I was young and going down Artesia I have always seen the store but never had a reason to go inside it until today. Although the outside doesn’t look like much but once you step inside there are all kinds of clocks everywhere. From old grandfather clocks, coo coo clocks, wrist-​watch, to little stand alarms.
Today my girlfriend and I visited the store because she had a wrist-​watch that needed a new battery and sizing and I needed a link repair on my mothers watch. I gave my watch to the older gentleman and explained what was wrong with the watch so he took it to his bench as well as the back and within 5 – 10 minutes he was all done with it and explained to me what he did and how I should take care of it. As for my girlfriend’s watch we gave it to the other gentleman and he changed the battery and took some links off all so quickly that we didn’t know that he changed the battery.
They were both very nice and helpful and really know a lot about watches that I definitely feel comfortable taking any future problems I have with watches to them.

These guys are the best. Fast, precise… and the price… very reasonable. Worth the drive to come out here.

This family owned place does good work, quickly (many times on the spot), and at reasonable prices. One of the nicer things I get to do with my money is support locals like me who do good work for their living.

Went back recently and things arent terrible but they are not the same.
The prices of materials have gone up and the prices have affected the customers.
I know batteries have climbed and so have other things.
Unfortunately my review update will be based on the service .
My last visit was on a very busy day and the two workers seemed frustate at the questions people were asking them. The watch maker had trouble with a new watch I brought to re size. After beating on it with a small hammer he gave it to me and told me it was a cheap chinese watch. The band was resized but some links were really messed up. Cool guys and not bad service. Sometimes when they get over whelmed they can be rude to customers. Happens to all of us, but I have to take stars off.

Add me to the ranks of highly satisfied customers.
Primarily came in to have a watch bracelet resized. Also brought in a mechanical watch that had stopped running after a recent fall. Figured what the heck, might as well see if it’s worth fixing.
I asked John for an estimate on repairing the mechanical watch, and after a minute he tells me he’s done looking at it and hands a running watch back to me. I think he winked.
Then he tried to charge me just a buck for the repair on top of the $ 9 resizing fee, but I put two and two together and realized that among the wink, the great price, and my otherworldly good looks, he was probably hitting on me. So I paid $ 15 instead. Ain’t having none of that; I respect myself way too much.
There is also the outside possibility that John is a gentleman who won’t rip you off over a simple repair.
As a customer, you’ll appreciated that the work is done in plain sight. As far as inventory goes, there’s a good amount of Hadley Roma leather bands, including my personal favorite heavy oil-​tanned leather, but I can’t comment on the timepieces.
They’re a little out of the way for me personally, but my experience has won them repeat business.

They did a great job tuning my wall mount grandfather clock. It was in a smokers house, last worked 9 years ago and was never tuned or cleaned. The work comes with warranty for work and the price quoted never changed. Price was a tad high but the work is great.

Love this place! I take my 89 year old dad there every few months to get the battery in his oh so cheap watch changed out — the owner or his assistant are always quick and polite. Plus, I get to pamper their store mascot, a friendly bulldog who likes scratches.
This is the kind of shop I like to do business with — and so will you!

Came in here to get several watches fixed.
Staff is very friendly and went out of their way to help me fix all my watches, whether it was replacing the battery, taking out a few links, or what-​not. And very affordable too.
Definitely coming here to replace car alarm batteries and such from now on. :)
