Timekeepers

We have used this store for many years. We have always had fantastic service and there are always many temptations to browse while you wait. An Escondido/​Grand Ave. icon!

Odd first impression. Wall clocks everywhere.
$ 10 battery replacement on a Michael Kors watch. $ 15 link repair for a link that broke off the watch face. Not bad on pricing but I haven’t been elsewhere so can’t really compare.
Prefers cash to anything else, which makes sense. Didn’t really want to take credit/​debit but it’s a Small business so I understand. Very informal, didn’t fill out any paperwork, just dropped off my watch, was told it would take an hour (probably because there was other work to be done for people who came before me).
Got the job done in 55 mins (slightly faster than promised) and I’m very happy with the result!

I’m a very happy customer. I’ve been going to Timekeepers for more than a decade and every time I get my watch or clock back I’m delighted with the work and the price. Burhan the owner is as nice as can be. He always greet me with a big smile and makes me feel welcome. Bob the watchmaker has a great sense of humor and I’m convinced there isn’t a watch or clock on the planet he can’t can’t repair. 5 stars for Timekeepers!

This place is fun just to walk through — so many unique watches and clocks! I go here to get watches repaired and batteries replaced and they are always friendly and helpful.

I highly recommend this shop. Very helpful skilled staff. They did a great job tuning up my Howard Miller mantle clock. I found a very unique vintage watch here and they made sure that it was perfectly timed. Amazing selection of one of a kind pieces. I love it here.

Such a fun shop! They’re right next to cupcake shop that just opened up and we love walking in with the kids and they get to look around at the grandfather clocks they have in the store and some vintage stuff they have on display. Took my watch and his watch here — mine to get the crystal replaced after it shattered and his to get a couple links taken out. Both were done in the same day and for prices far below those of other places! Really sweet people too.

Time keeper is amazing shop with wonderful staff. I am very grateful for Burhan who changed the batteries in two of my watches. The price was affordable compare to other places very professional customer service. I recommend this place to everyone. It is a huge shop with great selection of standing clock, wall clock and watches.

Excellent service. Had a titanium band that had come loose and thought that it had to be replaced. I was bummed cause I really liked the way it looked. They were able to re work it to make it like new. They could have easily sold me a new band, and I would have paid it. They took care of me and Im a customer for life.

Burhan is a true gentlemen and professional. Timely and great service and prices. Brought in several watches for batteries, and one for a full service and crystal face replacement, which was a bargain!
Our watches are running well and we are all pleased with the service. This is my go to place.

I had a really positive experience at Timekeepers Escondido that I thought was worth sharing. I inherited a vintage LeCoulture (JLC) watch that my mother bought for my father when they married. It’s a very fine watch, but was in need of cleaning, oiling, etc. I contacted the manufacturer, Jewelers, and authorized repair shops. All quoted very high prices and very long time lines (no pun intended). I contacted Burhan, who asked me to text a picture of my watch, and then provided a quote to me shortly thereafter. I dropped the watch off on a Saturday and it was ready by the following Friday; much quicker than anyone else would commit to!
So, I would recommend Burhan and Timekeepers Escondido just based on the price, quality of service and their quick turnaround, but there’s more. My watch happened to stop working the day I brought it to Burhan. I felt terrible and was bracing for an expensive repair estimate. I called Burhan a few days later for an update and he said that the watch was working. When I picked it up, there was no extra charge! Apparently, the maintenance performed was enough to get it working again. Some people might have taken advantage of the situation and cashed in, but Burhan proved to be an honest person. Everybody should feel safe trusting their heirlooms and valued timepieces with Timekeepers.

This unassuming shop contained a treasure trove of goodies. But, that’s not why I ventured in. I needed an old Seiko fixed and cleaned, and no one else could do it (without sending it away). All the Unilocal!reviews had been positive, so I felt good about it. The vibe in the shop was upbeat and I left not only my watch, but one of my husband’s as well.
While browsing, I stumbled upon a beautiful diamond wedding band and pointed it out to my husband, telling him that my left hand was «sad.» Guess who got surprised with a new wedding band?!
When we told the owner, Burhan, that we’d recently moved to California and had some jewelry to sell, Burhan told us to bring it in with us next time. We did, and he gave us good prices for our pieces.
I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Timekeepers to anyone looking for watch/​clock repairs, jewelry repairs, sales or purchases, and estate pieces, as well.

Great service, selection and experience. I’ve been there multiple times now and it is my timepiece destination in the future.

I have been going to Timekeepers for many years now, because I always receive outstanding customer service, time piece knowledge, and workmanship. My wife and I made a recent visit to have her watched sized, even though they had to take a link out and then put back in; it wasn’t an issue or a bother. I highly recommend Timekeepers for all your clock and watch needs.

Very happy with the fast friendly service of this place! Here’s my story: So I had a beautiful watch that I got for Christmas from my boyfriend that needed to be resized. I tried going to two other jewelry stores and they were both closed and not open until the second week of January! I was very annoyed, I then called the next place on my Unilocal list (the timekeepers) and the man answered and said yes we are open come over! I did and my watch was literally resized in the matter of only 3minutes! I’ll definitely be back!

I was having problem with my Swiss legend watch, and I asked some places for fixing my problem but they told me we can fix in 2 weeks and with very expansive price. Timekeepers fixed in same day and give me a very reasonable price, I loved it. It is working like 1^st time .
I highly recommended this place, they ll take care of your watch so well. You ll not be disappointed.

I have been in countless times to have batteries replaced in watches and have also had to get some jewelry repaired. I’ve also had appraisals done on my jewelry as well as purchased additional jewelry from them. Every time I am very satisfied with the service and work done.

Great Service. Needed to get two watch batteries replaced. Walked in and the guy told me it would be 5 minutes and it literally took that time. Quick, fast, & a great price ($ 16 for both).

Departing with a cherished watch is never easy, but I knew my prized possession would be in good hands with the owner – he is super knowledgeable and is very apparent of his love for timepieces. My automatic movement wrist watch was in desperate need for a service, and with a complicated movement, not many shops would touch it.
Burhan was very familiar with the watch (Brietling chrono movement) and assured me it would be back to tip-​top shape in a few weeks.
While more pricey than I wanted to pay, he assured me the watch easily had 2 – 3 generations of life (my great-​great grandson will love the watch). Good watches deserve great service.

Service was fast and friendly. A lady took out some links in my watch so it would fit my wrist. She did this in a timely and careful manner and it only cost $ 8. I told her the watch was my wedding present from my new husband and she was very sweet in congratulating me. I will come back for any watch or clock needs I have. Thank you!

Couldn’t be happier with the workmanship and professionalism. I found them on eBay and spoke directly to the shop and owner «Burhah» and felt assured my 20 year old Tag Heuer was in safe hands across the country at Timkeepers. My timepiece has been restored to the best I could image and looks great all at a fair price. Already have and will definitely recommend!
Thanks
