Clock World

This guys great, and very nice. I walked in with my Nixon Chrono at closing time.
He let me in and fixed my watch in 10 min for 10.00.

I went in for a watch battery replacement. The service was friendly, prompt and professional, and very good value (much cheaper than the last battery replacement I paid for at another store). And there were so many beautiful clocks in the store.

Raymond is the best… I have a fairly extensive collection of high end vintage watches and Raymond does all my cleaning and repairs. He’s always fair in price and reasonable in timing. He recently did a phenomenal repair on my 18k solid rose gold Universal Geneve Three Register Chronograph when I lost on of the pushers. He made a special pusher for me I rose gold from scratch.
Can’t say anymore what an awesome and terrific guy Raymond is!

…left a fairly expensive clock there a year ago… have stopped by store seven times…3 times either closed or on vacation… yes there are issues with not available parts… have received no phone calls or updates… time has about run out… will update on final story…

appointment only on weekends btw.
Guy is super nice and was quick with battery changes. He was very responsible I thought. May get my other watch fixed there.

Amazing spot, he’s so sweet and polite. I recommended this shop to anyone that needs work on their clocks or watches. I changed my Breitling watche’s battery for $ 15

I’ve been a fan of Raymond since 2008. This is my second review. My first Unilocal review of his great work is here in the queue dated back in 2008. He has fixed several watches for me – but don’t forget he can fix some jewelry, too! He has repaired a very delicate Italian necklace that is over 100 years and also a very complicated jade necklace as well. Kind, quiet, and utterly trustworthy and professional, Raymond is the reason this little, original, local business has the following it has. I get tired of people commenting on the price of things. If you want good service and choose to live in (now) the most expensive part of the United States, you better be able to pay for it. Disregard comments about Raymond’s fees. They are quite fair.

I’ve been using Unilocal since ’09 and have been a member since ’11, and I’ve never been inclined to write any reviews until now. For lovers of all things horological, Raymond at Clock World is as good as it gets. Since the beginning of this year, Raymond has serviced 4 vintage watches and 1 wall clock for me with excellent results! He’s very kind and knowledgeable and talks to you both in person and on the phone with a huge smile, seriously you can just hear him smiling though the speaker. His prices are fair and provides very good work. All of my watch/​clock repair and service will be going to Clock World, and so should yours!
Thank you Raymond and Clock World!

Cute store and repair shop. Raymond was working on another job when I walked in, so there was a little bit of a wait. But I enjoyed perusing the large collection of wall clocks filling the store. The price range was definitely higher (i.e., average seemed to be hundreds of dollars) than what I’m willing to spend on one, but to each their own. There were a few Seiko wall clocks that were under $ 100 though.
After he finished up his last job, I asked if he could take a link out of a wristwatch for me. He worked pretty quickly and handed it back to me within 30 minutes. I put it on to confirm the fit, and he charged me $ 6. Cool.
I wore the new watch for the day and realized it was much too heavy for my princess wrist. I called the company from which I ordered it (MVMT Watches), and they said I’d have to have the link put back in if I wanted a full refund. Their argument was that it was like tailoring a dress and trying to return it. However, unlike a dress, a watch link is easily restored. They weren’t convinced by my logical point of view.
So I went back to Raymond the next day, and he put the link back in for free. Wow! I was initially pretty mad with the watch company that they were basically saying that I’d have to pay 10% of the watch just to try it on. But Raymond made things a bit better by not charging me twice.
I’ll be coming back to him when I find a watch that suits my tiny wrists better.

This company gets my vote for the best small business in San Francisco! Why? Superior customer service with a smile, outstanding value and skilled craftsmanship. I walked in to get my watch repaired just before closing yesterday and the service was completed in under 5 minutes. Raymond is a highly skilled repairman, and also a genuinely nice person. I feel like a valued and respected customer when I visit Clock World, much like I imagine I would feel walking into a San Francisco clock shop a century ago! Thanks for keeping «old school» business ethics and integrity alive in our city. Always a pleasure doing business with Clock World!

I’ve had a Seiko watch that I never got around to use and finally decided to get the band adjusted. Walked in and the lady at the counter was helping a customer. Usually with smaller mom-​and-​pop places I’m accustomed to waiting 5 – 10 minutes before being helped but the lady at the counter acknowledged me quickly without being rude to the customer already being helped. I told her I needed a band adjustment and she said it would take a few minutes; no problem.
I took out my phone expecting to wait 5 – 10 minutes before they could work on my watch but within 1 – 2 minutes she took my watch to the guy in the back, who came out to check my wrist measurement and the adjustment was complete in under a minute. $ 7 and less than 5 minutes total. During this whole time, about 2 or 3 more customers came in and were helped quickly as well. Since I’m starting to get into watches, I’ll definitely be coming back here for all my watch needs. In a world of s. t corporations and «Go F yourself» retail service, it’s awesome to see such a genuine and friendly shop.

First, I signed up to write my very first Unilocal review because of this place.
Second, one of the pins in boyfriend’s leather watch band fell off. The day before I was going to take it to Clock World, the battery in my watch died. It took nearly five minutes to fix both for $ 10.
Third, I brought my 30-​pound dog into the store while we waited for the two watches to be fixed. The guy at the counter was friendly and didn’t make me feel rushed, even though the job was quick. I’ll definitely be coming back here for any clock or watch repairs.

New battery in 3 minutes, 8 bucks including battery out the door.
Very friendly service, will be back!

Battery replacement for 8 $. Took five minutes. The guy also noticed something funky with my watch so he verified it and it was nothing.
So:
Good service
Fair price
Honest

A friend of mine recommended this place to me. I was tired of going to Nordies or Macy’s.
Raymond is awesome. He’s an honest guy making an honest living. I’m quick to support the small mom and pop shops. No longer will I take my watch into the big department stores for watch repairs or replacements.
Raymond was able to replace the battery of my beloved rose gold Michael Kors watch for $ 8. Not just that, but he was FAST. I came back from picking up my Reuben at Miller’s and he was already waiting for me with my watch done and ready. Such a sweet guy!

I’ve gone to this place for about 3 years now and it’s the only place I’ll go to get my watches fixed or battery replaced.
They are very, very reasonably priced and they have a very quick turnaround time.
The one concern I have when I take my watches to get the batteries replaced (I have 3 designer watches) is that they don’t keep the backing of the watch and replace it with something else.
Not here.
They keep everything intact and the batteries last a long time.
I have 3 designer watches and completely trust this place to fix them every single time. I won’t go anywhere else.

My Cartier watch suddenly stopped and I first went to Cartier to see how much it’ll cost to fix. They quoted me $ 485 because there’s water inside. Then I went to Geneva Watch and they quoted $ 300 because the watch needs the overhaul (they didn’t say anything about water). And finally I went to Clock World and Raymond fixed it for $ 15. He said it’s just a battery. Now my watch is working perfectly.
Not to be judgemental to two places I mentioned earlier, but I recommend you to get quotes from multiple places if you need watch repair and add this place one of those options.
I’m lucky to find this place. I will stick to this place whenever my watch needs to be fixed.

My clock is over 200 years old. Gilded gold. Beautiful. Bought it off ebay in ‘good working condition’. Shoooooot.
So I turned to Unilocal and Clock Wooooooorrrrrrrlllllllllddddd.
First things first. He’s precious! He’s like a little knome with a beautiful kind soul that seems to just glow from his face. You’ll just have to meet him.
Ok, yeah, back to the clock. He fixed that clock and she keeps perfect time. Perfect. Perfect.
He worked on that dang clock for 6 freaking months and never gave up on it. I went in there one time to check on it and it was laying there in a million little pieces and I just knew I’d done the wrong thing. But no, choosing this guy was the best move.
I don’t see how he gets any work done. People are constantly in the shop or on the phone. Somehow, he does the job.
I am honored to recommend this man to help you with your antique clock. It will take a long while, perhaps. But it will be worth it.

I highly recommend Clock World. I dropped my Michael Kors watch and the crystal face was ruined. I took it to Macys (where I had bought the watch) and they quoted me $ 120 to send it in to be fixed! They said it was the most expensive part of the watch to fix. Luckily I called their bluff and phoned around. Clock World was much more reasonably priced and fixed it quickly. I highly recommend them for all your clock needs.
They also sell very nice wall and desk clocks from antique to modern.

Did my research on Unilocal and chose this place due to the stellar reviews. Took my $ 5000 Tag Heuer Carerra caliber 16 watch to be repaired. The auto wind function was sticking and making odd noises due to it being dropped. Was nervous at first because I wasn’t sure if he could fix a watch with this complexity. He took a good look at it and called me back the next day and said it was repairable and could keep all original parts. I was stoked. 3 days later my watch was repaired and running better than new. Price was more than fair and I am very happy to get my watch back. I give my highest recommendation to Raymond. No job is too hard for this guy. Truly the best of a skilled breed of watchmakers.
