My Swiss Army Airboss mechanical watch stopped running after about 6-7 years of ownership. This, of course, was just past the warranty period. I was pretty...

Not a lot to say other than that getting a new watch battery took me less than 5 minutes from the minute I walked in, to the minute I walked out having paid. The woman working here was very friendly and knowledgable.

I had my watch bracelet resized here super fast. Cost was $6 which isn't too bad considering it's a one time deal. There's a lots of cool watches and clocks here. I'd definitely return for any of my watch needs.

When I got my engagement ring it was an entire size and a half too large. I took it to Al for resizing and he did a beautiful job. About 6 months later, a topaz fell out of one of the settings! Since Al gave us a reasonable price and did such a great job, we went back to him for help. He once again assisted us in a timely manner and for a fair price. Thanks Al!

Excellent place to get any watch or jewelry fixed repaired up and ready for the next occasion. Very quick turn around time. You may need to get the OEM parts but he'll handle the labor at an extremely fair price. It's also a place where you can fingerprinted and background checked! Who would have known?!

I reviewed on Yelp months ago. ( I thought my review was posted but guess it wasn't) If you want great customer service and an experienced guy, come here. He fixed both my necklaces for a great price and not to mention how FAST he was. Professional & speedy at the best price. I'll always come back here if I need my jewelry fixed.

Al is as kind as he is a genius at repairing precious vintage watches. I brought my beloved Granddad's vintage Omega for servicing and repair. It was well loved by my Granddad (who just recently passed away) who wore the watch for over 50 years, so it had its fair share of wear and tear. Within a week, Al completely restored the watch to its original integrity. His watch expertise is second-to-none, but perhaps what's most striking about Al is his generous spirit and the tremendous pride he takes in restoring beloved time pieces.

Highly recommend this place. I had my wife's wedding ring repaired. One of the prongs on her ring was bent and the diamond had fallen out. I decided to go to Al after reviewing all of his positive feedback. He was very nice and did a great job fixing and cleaning the ring. Best part, he only charged $40. He made me feel very comfortable handing over the ring and diamond, and he fixed it in front of me in about 20 minutes. I would definitely recommend coming here!

When do you ever see five stars with 411 (on Yelp) reviews. I've never seen that!Well after doing business with them I know why. I took 3 watches to him. In just a little over 10 minutes he had replaced the batterys in all three of them. But he took the little extra steps like cleaning the inside of the glass before he put it back together. Didn't realize it but my watches look sharper, after having the glass cleaned. I also found out he uses Swiss batteries. $15 for Batteries is a reasonable price anywhere you go. But it's cool that he uses the best batteries available. And he does the little extra things like cleaning, without charging more.Now if we can just get this level of customer service at car washes locally here in town...

Over the weekend, I accidentally dropped my Fiance's Engagement Ring and we needed to get it fixed ASAP. Seeing the great reviews for Time Palace Jewelers, we decided to go there to see if they could help repair the ring. After arriving at Time Palace Jewelers and speaking with Al and his son, Richard, we found out that the prongs on the ring were bent and the diamond needed to be re-set. For a proper re-setting of the ring, it would take about 3-4 days.As it was my Fiance's engagement ring, we were concerned about leaving the ring with a store for 3-4 days.After just picking up the ring today, these concerns were completely unfounded.Al and his son, like so many other yelp reviews have written, are incredible people. They are patient, honest and trustworthy. They simply know that this is how businesses are supposed to be run.Especially with an engagement ring, it is incredibly important to find the right people who know what they are doing and Al and his son definitely fit that category. Al made sure both my Fiance and I took a good look at the ring under his microscope, made sure to properly map the diamond (so we know it's ours) and taught us how to recognize our own diamond so no one can try to lie to us. My diamond was also GIA Certified so he made sure that the number was clearly written down and verified by us personally. Al also made sure we matched up the number when we picked it up to ensure we had our ring.If you happened to drop your ring like we did, Time Palace Jewelers is the right place to go. There's a reason he has so many great reviews.

Incredible personal service by the owner Al himself! I found him on Yelp and first brought in a 2002 automatic Blancpain which ran fast. He serviced it and got it right in a couple of days! I was so impressed I next brought in my late father's dress Rolex which I don't believe had been serviced in 40 years. Al took care of it at one- third what the Rolex dealer would have charged me. I know, I have had the dealer at South Coast service my watches before. Then, I thought he could do something different and he did: ultrasound cleaned a 150 year-old silver plaid brooch immaculately. Al is a serious high-skilled craftsman proud of his work. No nonsense, gives full technical explanations which I thoroughly appreciate. Happy to have found this place!

Wonderful place. Had bought some silver bracelets up in the central coast area when I was visiting over Christmas. Massively on sale, but way too long and falling off my arm. Took them one place up there-they wanted $60 and at least two weeks. No way. Found Time Palace Jewelers on google and went there recently. Fabulous service and same day service. Price was a fraction of what they said up north. Very friendly, so professional. Wonderful and will return with the other bracelets! Thank you!

Went here due to reviews and was not disappointed. Al? Was with a customer doing engraving for their watch, only got a look at the finished piece from the customer but it was well done. I only came in for a watch band adjustment, he got that done in no more than 2 minutes for a extremely reasonable price. The outside doesn't or didn't say time place not that i remembered. The inside is a whole different place, very neat.
