Watch & Clock Repair · Downtown Seattle
Downtown Seattle’s watchmaker for over 30 years — today at the bench on the fifth floor of Melbourne Tower. Batteries while you wait, vintage movements brought back to life, and the watches other shops couldn’t fix.
What we do
Same-day service — many repairs are completed in under 30 minutes. Bigger jobs are assessed at the counter before any work begins.
Swapped at the bench while you wait — one reviewer was in and out in under five minutes.
Links added or removed, straps fitted and repaired so the watch sits the way it should.
Delicate, decades-old pieces and high-precision mechanical movements, handled with patience.
Full disassembly, cleaning, and tuning to bring a tired movement back to time.
Complex parts replacement and tuning for chronographs and complicated calibers.
Seal testing and watch cleaning — verified services on the shop's Yelp listing.
Bring it in. Walk-ins are welcome, and you’ll know where you stand before any work begins.
Why Jerry’s
When Seiko itself returned a 41-year-old watch as too old to fix, a reviewer brought it here — repaired in two weeks, with a new crystal. Checkbook’s Top Rating for Quality tells the same story.
Same-day service, with many repairs finished in under 30 minutes — batteries in as little as five.
4.9 stars across 182 Yelp reviews, 4.7 on Google; 89% of Checkbook raters score the shop “superior” overall.
Watch enthusiasts have sent each other here on collector forums since 2014 — for vintage Seiko and Bulova work, Omega and Rolex service, and parts nobody else can find.

Real reviews, quoted verbatim and attributed to where they were posted.
“Walked in on a Tuesday at lunch, got my battery replaced in less than 5 minutes for a cheap price.”
“Outstanding. Was able to fix a watch that others could not fix. Highly recommend!”
“The place is pretty easy to find, just take the elevator to the 5th floor, and the place is right there on your left.”
“I had previously sent it to Seiko, and they sent it back saying it was too old to fix. I then sent it to Jerry's — he fixed it in a couple of weeks for a very, very reasonable price.”
“Picking up a family heirloom — my grandfather's pocket watch that I believe was his grandfather's. Cleaned and repaired. Thank you Jerry!”
“Jerry has tuned up both of my 1980s vintage mechanical Seiko dive watches. Both keep better time now than when I first bought them.”
“I was more than happy to learn that Jerry was actually trained by SEIKO and familiar with this type of watch. Apart the repair of the mainspring the watch got a complete overhaul service and is now like new.”
Among collectors
Not advertising — enthusiasts on public watch forums, telling strangers where to take the pieces that matter.
“Jerry has serviced/repaired many of my Seiko and Bulova vintage watches, and he is able to get vintage seiko parts as well — he also works on omega, rolex, etc.”
“He fixed a watch of mine… did not even raise an eyebrow that it was a rare micro-brand… came back slightly better finished and far more accurate.”
Finding the shop
Melbourne Tower — a 10-story reinforced-concrete office building completed in 1927 by Seattle architects Lawton & Moldenhour, built in a U-shape so every office draws daylight from a central courtyard.
1511 3rd Ave at 3rd & Pike — the heart of downtown Seattle, an easy lunch-break stop.
Reviewers say it best: “just take the elevator to the 5th floor.”
Step out, look left, and hand the watch to Jerry. No appointment needed.
