A To Z Fine Watch & Chrono Repair

My husband needed a new battery for a lovely Wittnauer watch he owns. Found this listing on Unilocal.As the business is near our home he gave it a try. Even though the store is very tiny my husband said there were 5 people there when he arrived. This being a Monday morning around 10:30. Got the battery change quickly at a bargain price of $ 5. Just a heads up, the business ONLY accepts cash. No credit or debit cards. Can’t say enough good about this expeditious experience.

Went there and had my Tissot fixed it is an antique and the winder was broke he fixed it perfectly. It seems that he does everything from high end watches to just changing batteries and resizing wristbands. Definitely my watch guy from now on!

The owner is a master of watch repair and restoration. They offer fast, friendly and truly inexpensive service.

Small, privately owned watch shop. My boyfriend needed his watch battery replaced. We walked in, the guy immediately knew my boyfriend was Polish and greeted him so! The battery replacement literally took 2 minutes. It was $ 5 and that included a tip. Quick, friendly service! Will be back! Cash only (:

Top notch, experienced European watchmaker. I’m a collector of high end mechanical watches & have trusted Andy to work on my watches for almost 20 years. Over the years, he has become a friend. Andy does work for many jewelry stores in the Chicago area. You’ll never find a place to change your batteries or size your watch bracelet for cheaper, GUARANTEED. In fact, I always tell him to charge more because he can, but he doesn’t. His prices are not reasonable, they are CHEAP. Do your research & compare. So Daniel L., you’re a slanderous moron with only two working brain cells. I highly doubt you have a watch worth more than $ 20, you don’t have the intelligence to own anything better. Read Daniel L’s other review, he’s a troll. ZERO credibility, like his IQ. Read every other review about A to Z, and you be the judge. 9-​17-​2015 update: Thanks to Unilocal for removing Daniel L’s (imbecile fool) review.

Fantastic watch repair! We took 4 watches in. Two out of the four needed to be repaired (one didn’t work at all and with the other, we couldn’t wind the stem to the right time). Plus three out of the four needed batteries. Within ten minutes, Andrew, the owner took the watches in back and came out to tell us that of the two that needed repairing, one he repaired for free (the one with the stem issue) and the other one would cost more to repair than it was worth (it was an older Timex). He also put in the three new batteries. He did this all within 10 minutes. We didn’t even get a chance to read any newspaper articles, though I DID get to check out the fish in the aquarium. He only charged us $ 15.00 for the 3 batteries. You couldn’t ask for a better deal or better service. Even Wal-​Mart charges more for battery replacement. For ANY watch repairs, you need to go to A to Z Watch Repair. Wonderful, wonderful service.

Traveled to the shop, hoping to get my wooden watch adjusted. Agreed to the $ 5 fee and realized that I didn’t have cash (its cash only). Walked to the ATM and by the time I got back which was about 4 minutes later, my watch was done and fitted properly. Cant get more satisfied than that!

Great watch repair place. Never going anywhere else.
Sometimes a bit of a wait, but its a small place. Sometimes best just to drop off and pick up later.
Very reasonably-​priced

Quick service! Great cheap prices! Definitely not a ripoff. I suggest this to anyone in need of a quick fix and not looking to spend a fortune. He fixed my Movado for the same promised price. In total I was there for maybe 10 minutes getting two things done. I highly suggest this establishment!

I need to replace batteries on 2 watches. I usually go into the city but decided to try somewhere local.
Both watches had batteries replaced while I waited — just 5 minutes. Total cost just $ 10.
A great local business.

Just returned from having a battery replaced in a very important watch of mine. The gentleman at the counter was polite and detailed in his explanation (the watch would need to be re-​pressurized), and quoted me 15 – 20 minutes. It was done in five and I was impressed and out the door. Two thumbs up!

Went to get a battery replaced in a relatively expensive watch. I was amazed that they only charged $ 5 for the new battery and labor, I normally pay 3X to 4X at jewelry stores. They also did it while I waited, less than five minutes. Would definitely use again.

Recommended by a couple area jewelers and so glad they did. I’m a watch fanatic; have a ton of them in all different colors, shapes, sizes. Not expensive watches for the most part but I cherish their diversity:) When you have a «collection» of watches, keeping them running can be a full time job! Enter, A to Z watch repair to the rescue. About four times a year, I arrive at the shop with a zip lock baggy full of… you guessed it… WATCHES I know he’s working on more important stuff in terms of repair and item expense but still, he takes my zip lock bag of between 5 – 12 watches and asks if I’d like to wait! Instant gratification could be mine but, instead, I leave them with him for a couple of days and, presto! Watch collection is running again. And the price for all this TLC??? $ 5.00 per watch. Oh… he only accepts cash or personal checks; no credit cards.

I have know Andy for nearly 15 years, I bring all my watch repairs to him, he knows his stuff, doesn’t play games, gives fair prices, and is friendly. Also speaks fluent Polish so that is great if you don’t speak English.
His shop is small, and clean. Nice fish tank to watch while you wait. Basically, if you need any type of watch/​clock repair done, this is the place to go! You won’t regret it

A pawn shop in my neighborhood recommended this place to get my self-​winding watch adjusted (it was running too fast). I walked in and walked out 10 minutes later and only five bucks lighter with a now-​accurate watch.
