Lentz House of Time, LLC

Great little shop with very helpful shop owner. If you need a watch battery or your watch repaired this is the place to go.

We have an antique floor model clock that has been moved (carefully) several times and has continued to run and keep very good time — until the last move. Following the last move, the beat was off and the clock would run for no more the 10 – 15 minutes. I took the clock in to Lentz and received an estimate for over $ 2000 for a complete service — and an estimated 4 – 5 months to complete the job. When asked if there was something less involved they could do to get the clock running, the reply was «we’re not allowed to do anything less than what we quoted …». I picked the clock up and asked another person knowledgeable in clocks for an opinion. I was told that if the clock was properly leveled and the problem persisted (which it did), the problem was probably that the «verge» needed adjusting; and this adjustment was explained. So with no tools, and very little knowledge of clocks, I adjusted the verge and the clock runs fine. So for no cost and 4 – 5 minutes work, I avoided a $ 2000+ expenditure and being without the clock 4 – 5 months. Need I say more?

I have been a Rolex owner since 1973, and have had my watch serviced by everyone from Rolex in Dallas to local Rolex repair shops — I can honestly say that my experience with House of Time was outstanding. A few years ago, my GMT-​Master was due for a service, and I took it there. They immediately evaluated it, and gave me a very detailed estimate, and noted that there were several non-​Rolex parts inside, and recommended replacement with genuine parts. They did a complete overhaul of the watch, and since then, it has never run or looked better. That was 3 years ago, and it continues to run flawlessly. I liked their work so much, I had my son and daughter take THEIR Rolexes to them, and they had the same experience. Today, I dropped off an antique clock for repair, and they offered to check the timing on my GMT-​Master — not only was it well within Rolex specs, they even pressure tested the case, and polished the crystal — all for free!!! These are real old-​world craftsmen who know what they are doing and are entirely honest and honorable. I HAVE and WILL continue to trust them with my family heirlooms. A great value for great work!

Nice place with warm welcome and professional service. Replaced a baby alligator grain watch strap for my Hamilton at a fair price. Satisfied. Would return here if any further help is needed.

I was visiting Gainesville on business and my watch battery died. Found this place on Unilocal and stopped by. Great decision! They are super nice and extremely thorough. Replaced the battery for a very fair price but first did a test to assess my watch’s water seal. Most people would have just popped it open.
Highly recommended!

Friendly & knowledgable employees. I take all my watches and clocks here for quality repairs. Usually there is one-​day turnaround for repairs & batteries can be done while you wait.
