Norbert is a gem! My mum who is in her late 60's inherited an Omega watch from her grandfather…read more None of us had realized how expensive Omegas are and she had been taking it regularly to watchmakers in India who sadly had damaged it the last time. We were initially going to take this to the Omega boutique close by home but upon learning they ship their watches internationally she wanted to find someone local who could handle it. They searched and were fortunate to find Norbert! He fixed the most immediate areas and guided against fixing all the damage but managed to get it back working as it is has never worked so well before. His work is thoughtful and he was extremely honest so well worth the investment in her watch.

Thanks to Greg, the service technician, we were well informed and found Greg extremely knowledgeable, professional, and pleasant to work with. He went out of his way to outline availability, in accordance with our preferences, fitted both for my husband, and reviewed the features prior to purchase. Parking is available off the upper alley way for ease of access. I highly recommend Momentum Watches and Greg for all your needs! Five star products and five star servicing throughout the years.

The other 2 clocks worked for less than 6 months. He did not honor his warranty. I would never recommend his company as maybe its time for him to retire.

I know a little about clock repair. Fritz gives lo-ball estimates and when you pick up the clock,…read moreit's almost double the estimate. This happened twice. He brags that he disassembles and cleans every clock, "How else would you get it clean?", but one clock I took there was not cleaned properly, if at all. The 100 years of dirt in the movement stopped the clock about a year later. I cleaned and oiled the movement myself, finally, and could not believe how much dirt came out in the cleaning fluid. It now it runs as it should. I don't trust him.

I came here with 9 watches that needed battery change -- I know, that seems like a lot, but I like…read morewatches. I live in Seattle, but there aren't many small independent watch/clock repair shops around where I live, and this shop sounded like a gem from the yelp reviews. And it was. I randomly walked in with 9 watches past 5 pm on Friday (one of them was a little more complicated), and Mr. Hiew told me they could be ready by noontime on Monday. Wow. I've walked into a pretty well-known jeweler (B*n Bri**es) by where I live, and they'd say, "We'll call you when it's ready" (which is like a week later) or sometimes even "We have to send this out." But no nonsense like that here. It's all business. Love it. I went back a little after lunchtime on Monday, and sure enough, they were ready and packaged, with detailed description of each watch written down. This man is dedicated to watches and clocks. He's even wearing a Renata mask. (I've never even seen a Renata mask. He must be a good customer.) In case you don't know (like one previous reviewer), Renata batteries are what's considered most reliable and long lasting. They're used in the likes of Rolex (Oysterquartz), Tag Heuer and Breitling. Renata batteries cost a little more, but if your shop uses them despite the cost, you know they care. I paid 15 CAD for 8 of the watches and 25 CAD for the more complicated one. I'm a happy camper. In Seattle they charge more and do less (they'd say things like, "...and waterproofing would be extra charge"). An unassuming shop that doesn't even have a sign outside, but has customers coming back? That's my kind of shop. I'll definitely come back when I'm in town.

We commissioned these rings as a custom piece based on my favorite movie "Howl's Moving Castle"…read more Throughout the entire process they provided regular updates. I appreciated being kept in the loop and having the opportunity to make any necessary changes along the way. Once the rings were completed, we realized the ruby stone would be more fitting for me so we asked if it was possible to switch it. They were so kind to make this change for us even though the rings were already finished. The final product is absolutely stunning. The craftsmanship is impeccable, and the attention to detail is evident in every aspect of the ring. They had truly brought our vision to life, and I am beyond thrilled with the end result. Overall, I highly recommend Independent Goldsmith for anyone looking for a custom piece of jewelry. They truly care about their customers and take great pride in their work. I would not hesitate to work with them again in the future!
