I was treated EXTREMELY well when I popped in here today to check out the new Lake Tahoe 41 automatic by Keana. Not only was she friendly, but she was also kind and fun to chat with! She took her time to go over the history of IWC and showed me all of the collections before getting to the watch I wanted to try on which was appreciated. If I go with IWC, which I'm heavily leaning towards, I'm going to take the long trip over here based on the service I received today. Thanks again Keana!! read more

IWC Schaffhausen Boutique - Watches Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

Earlier this week, I was in South Coast visiting another watch boutique window-shopping when I popped into the IWC Boutique. Coincidentally, I had been researching the Mark XX Green dial online but hadnt tried one on or seen one in person. Upon walking in I was greeted by Casey, a friendly and knowledgeable sales representative. We chatted about my small collection. He showed me the Mark XX and let me try it on. The watch's green sunburst dial was exquisite and the bracelet was incredibly comfortable. I wanted to see if they had the leather strap as well which they did but I wanted the butterfly clasp. He checked in back and confirmed they had it. I let Casey know that I wasn't planning on buying a watch that day but I wanted to come back later in the week to ensure it wasn't an impulse buy. He stayed in contact throughout the week checking in and coordinating for Friday. When I came back, Casey had the strap with butterfly clasp and the watch on the bracelet ready. He sized it for me, walked me through the features, explained the extended warranty, helped me register for the site and sent me on my merry way. He also introduced me to his manager Joyce- another friendly outgoing team member. It's so refreshing to deal with such friendly, professional and knowledgeable sales people...I can attest that not all the watch shops in this mall have the same vibe. This IWC Boutique just won a loyal client for life. read more

See all

I have stopped in this boutique numerous times wanting to try some time pieces on and potentially buying one. I was looking at the Mark XX or the Big Pilot. My goal is to own a watch from each of the watch manufacturers. During my numerous stops, the employees wouldn't even give you the time of day. They don't even acknowledge you or greet you. My wife has been along for the watch collecting journey and she says this store feels cold and very unwelcoming. Today, I stopped in and looked at some watches for about 20-30 minutes without anyone offering to help. I guess they don't want my business. read more

I visited the IWC Boutique in Costa Mesa firmly set on wanting an IWC Pilot after doing extensive research. I wanted to see the watch in person and get a feel for how it wore on my wrist. Unfortunately, no one greeted or offered to help me when I entered. While browsing, an Asian female staff member gave me an unwelcoming glare that made me feel uncomfortable and out of place. The overall attitude felt snobby and dismissive, which is unacceptable for a luxury boutique. The experience left a bad taste in my mouth, and instead of moving forward with the IWC Pilot, I've decided to take my business elsewhere. In the end, it helped narrow down my choices--just not in IWC's favor. read more

I came on a whim, as I usually do when I buy watches, and came to see Joyce, who then handed me off to Keana. I am a collector so when I saw the Pilot's Watch Performance I thought to myself that I would just take a look. Keana was so friendly to me and my fiance and we felt so welcomed that I just felt good vibes buying the watch, which I did shortly thereafter. All in all, the experience was pleasant, and I was in and out the door with a new watch in a short amount of time. Highly recommend seeing Keana. read more

Service is always great here except that there are usually only 1 or 2 workers. So if there are other customers, then you just have to wait around. It's usually not a big deal, but they just aren't a high volume store. But the workers are very attentive and friendly read more

To whom this may concern, Hello, my name is Nicholas Delgadillo. I'm a young watch collector from South East Los Angeles. I wanted to share the experience I've had in the Costa Mesa boutique. Your employees Joyce and George have been the most extraordinary people I've met. Since the very beginning both employees have shown their support and respect towards me and have helped me get the watch of my dreams, the spitfire automatic. I even had an unfortunate event happen to watch less than a day from getting it and both Joyce and George were quick to help me. I am in awe of such service, they are so attentive to each of their customers and make the time to really understand what their customers want. I've been to other boutiques both IWC and non IWC stores where the employees were either rude or wouldn't care to help me. I truly appreciate the IWC Costa Mesa team, they've been such help to me. From a very happy customer, Nicholas Delgadillo read more

In the market for a new luxury watch stepped in the store there were about 2 or 3 employees but no one offering to help or even an acknowledgment. One guy sitting at a table so I pointed at a display that contained 3 watches and inquired about one of the watch's price he immediately blurted out 13 thousand without so much as getting up. I asked him if he knew which watch I was referring to and told him it was the one on the far right and he corrects himself and says 4 thousand for that one. What great service... I walked out as he didn't seem interested even to get out of his chair. IWC South Coast Plaza definitely not getting my business. read more

Great selection of watches. Salesman was very patient and thorough in his explanation of the watches capabilities after the purchase.

Absolutely love IWC, 10 years after buying my Pilot chrono I decided to buy another pilot. In I walked to the store, looking a bit too casual, but not out of the ordinary for me. I was immediately greeted by the staff, and the SA who helped me, Casey, was very courteous. Casey's professionalism and non pushiness made me very relaxed. Not 20 minutes later I walked out with my new Le Petit Prince read more

I brought an older IWC watch that was having minor problems in for repair. This place told me they sent it to Switzerland and charged me $500. The watch never worked properly after that. read more

My son inherited a nice stainless steel IWC watch from his grandfather. I took it to IWC at the beginning of December 2012. Unbeknownst to me the store had just opened. It's a glitzy shiny atmosphere with lots of masculine high lifestyle accents (boating, aviation, automotive props). For $100 they offered to send it to Switzerland to have it checked out and get any estimates for work required. I didn't realize they sent it via hot air balloon (individualized to each watch). Unfortunately, with global warming the normal Gulf Jet Stream was subverted both coming and going travels of the hot air balloon. It took over four months to get the watch back. Noises of protest was met with grey gloved disdain. Not sure how long they'll last at this location. If you can go elsewhere for evaluations of your vintage IWC watch do it!. read more

I'm giving this place 5 stars since its only one of 5 North American retail outlets for this amazing brand of watch. As an IWC watch owner, I am blown away by the craftsmanship and the design of all their watches. I am lucky to own a limited edition and so far have been impressed with their customer service- even if it's directly from Switzerland. I met Casey in this particular location and he was very friendly & knowledgeable about all models on display. While I didn't buy anything this time, I did enjoy the 10 minutes I was in the store. It was pretty spectacular! read more

IWC Schaffhausen Boutique - one of five locations in North America. - Watches Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

Friendly and attentive service. Detailed knowledge on the product line is a bit hit and miss- some staff really seem very knowledgable, others perhaps less so. Not an uncommon failing, though. While the boutique model seems to be leading to higher prices of acquisition, I think this may be balanced by greater retained value of the IWC pieces that I already own. A fair trade off, in my opinion. read more

As a watch aficionado, IWC ranks with the top tier luxury brands.I purchased a mark XVIII here and all I can say is the hospitality rendered by this boutique is second to none. From Casey to Joyce, I was made to feel important and not pressured in any way. I enjoyed an espresso while I perused several styles. I've purchased from Omega and Rolex and can say that the staff here is intent on taking it up a level of sophisticated professionalism with class. I will definitely only buy IWC from this store. Stay away from internet grey market timepieces! read more

Nice atmosphere and very home like. I came in to replace a strap on my IWC, i was helped by staff member Casey everything went smoothly! Thanks read more

Came in here with my wife tonight. My wife's dream watch is the Pilot. George was extremely helpful, patient, and knowledgeable. She left with her dream watch and a huge smile on her face. Thank you, George. You made us feel very special. IWC is lucky to have you! read more

Great staff! Not pushy to make a sale! Manager is very professional as well. We bought our first IWC watch with them and celebrated with champaign and complementary lunch! The salesperson, the floor manager and the store manager all three made it a luxurious experience to buy from them. We will surely going back again for the second one! read more

IWC is proving to me, that they not only know how to make some of the best manufactured time-keeping instruments in the world, but also that they know how to execute on the retail piece in a "haute horologerie" & "in-house" way. My introduction to this boutique was via phone and text conversations when Casey. Casey is a true watch guy, and his passion for watches was an ideal gateway to the rest of the boutique team. My visit was hosted by Joyce (as Casey was in Switzerland for training - a good sign that IWC is investing in its people). Joyce was authentic, passionate and knowledgeable and made me feel like we were old friends. All the time without applying any sales pressure and sincerely trying to help on the small and big things. I travelled 500 miles to see and compare watches from a few different boutiques; the watches AND the boutique team made the choice clear (as a Sapphire encased exhibition back!). read more
