I would go nowhere else to get my watch serviced at a good price and being 100% comfortable its done right... I've taken several watches serviced cleaned and had a dial re-done at an affordable price read more

Was nervous about taking my Rolex somewhere other than Rolex for service/repair but decided I was tired of paying Rolex's exhorbident fees and giving up my watch for a month or longer while they worked on it. Shant's was excellent. Easy to work with. Knew what was wrong right away (mainspring and needed service) Did the work on the timeline promised (2 weeks; actually got it done early) and for the price quoted. My Rolex is running better than it ever has. Its an early 80s Sub and i've sent it to Rolex twice since its been in my possession for the last 12 years or so for a service/repair and it's never kept time as well as it has these past two weeks since I got it back from Shant's. I will be back and can't recommend this place enough. Thank you, Shant! read more

Shant was effective, warm & clearly passionate about his work. In total, I got 5 pieces of watches adjusted, battery changed by him. He replaced my shattered sapphire crystal face on my Rolex in 10 minutes and offered insight on how to take care of my watch. The way he lit up about my Rolex sparked me up as well- new found appreciation for the value & sentiment behind my watch. He also resized my watches with precision and care AND cleaned my jewellery for free. He readily referred me to another vendor to auppprt adjusting my other pieces and the neighbourly and collaborative energy he carried is deeply appreciated and felt. His shop is well maintained, elegant & represents luxury and integrity. If I could give anymore stars, I would read more

Shant's Clock and Watch Repair - Watch Repair Near Me - Pasadena, California

Shant is a miracle worker. I've been going to him for years for fitting my watches. Recently my mom gave me two watches worn by my late father. The watches were 30-40 years old. She wanted me to see if I could sell them, expecting little since they aren't collector pieces and did NOT work. I loved the retro look of the watches and wanted to see if they could be repaired ... I took them to Shant and he worked his magic, now they work PERFECTLY. I couldn't be happier ... it's an heirloom and I can now use the watch too. Btw the watch is not gold... gold plated, and not a Rolex or Patek. Again, the true value is nostalgia and sentimental value. He also fixed 1980's era Omega watch with a quartz battery... he cleared the debris from the watch, verified the circuit still works and replaced the battery. Probably one of the best watch repairman in the country, and if you doubt me, just read all the other reviews. read more

Shant's was willing to work on a watch that every other business was not. They were realistic about what could be done, and service was quick and professional. I was thrilled with the results and this will be my new go-to watch shop. I didn't catch his name, but very nice customer service! read more

I recently got a new watch and needed the oyster bracelet resized, so I checked Yelp and found this spot. I stopped by after work and met Shant. He was super friendly and clearly knows a lot about watches. He resized my bracelet perfectly and also helped me swap an alligator leather strap on another watch I brought in. He mentioned that he does full servicing as well, including high-end watches like Rolex, which is good to know for the future. Overall, I had a great experience here and will definitely be coming back. read more

My first time at Shant' s and the service was nothing short of Exceptional. I needed to get some some links removed from a new watch and leather strap change for a dress watch. He literally took no more than 2-3 minutes and his pricing was more than fair. I look forward to coming back for future adjustments and hopefully a purchase of one of his vintage watches. read more

Shant was terrific. He sized and fitted my wife's Citizen watch all within 10 minutes, probably even less than that. Reached out on Yelp originally for a quote and he advised we can just walk in during his business hours. Best pricing and customer service in the area. Thanks Shant! read more

I had an old watch that needed new batteries and needed an adjustment to fit my wrist better. Shant is super friendly and so knowledgeable! After the battery change, I noticed my watch would stop working after a few minutes. I took it back to Shant and he suggested to replace a gear. Turnaround time was fast and my watch is now back in amazing condition! read more

The owner was courteous honest. He quoted a fair price and changed the watch battery on my Omega watch very quickly. I knew he was going experienced and knowledgeable. Highly recommend. read more

Shant serviced a beloved family heirloom/watch. He significantly improved the accuracy of the timepiece. He also recently helped me adjust a bracelet quickly. I would highly recommend Shant for watch services. read more

This is a professional and friendly place to get your watch serviced! I went in to get a few links taken off of one of my watches and service was fast, I was only there for 10-15 minutes. The person helping me out was even nice enough to adjust the pin on a second watch I asked him to look at as it only took him a few seconds to do so. All for just $10! A great community establishment indeed. read more

Had my vintage Cartier serviced here and he changed the battery in approximately 30 seconds, adjusted the fit in another 30, gave me advice on cleaning and proper car, and had me out of the store in less than 5 minutes. I'd put an hour in the meter because I was so used to a watch service taking forever. Not here. This is expert territory. read more

Javier was personable and professional, explained my various options clearly, and had my watch batteries replaced in two of my watches within 20 minutes. Excellent service, 100% recommend! read more

Had the pleasure of returning to Shant's after a few years. We also had a nice catch up chat after all that time. A watch I'd used and abused had been sitting around inoperative for a good long time. I'd taken it to a local repair shop near me and decided to spend some money getting it operational, including a new glass as the one I had was scratched up. An unusual shape, I knew it couldn't be replicated exactly but I expected it to be at least a pristine new one when fixed. It wasn't. A small corner at the frame was nicked. When told, the owner, who hadn't even noticed, he basically said it was too hard to find and fix again. So I went to Shant. And of course, it was fixed in a week's time. Moral of the story? If you want your precious watch fixed right the first time, go to Shant. Addendum: he has a thriving classic watch retail showroom on the premises too. For those people who value a timeless classic over the "iTrack your every movement 24/7 and sell all your personal info to the highest bidder/ insurance companies etc as well" corporate tool on your wrist. read more

Shant has given me excellent service across a variety of vintage pieces from the 1950s-1990s, keeping them in good repair and fixing when old components inevitably break. He's worked on pieces from Omega, Seiko and Rolex for me, and he is so knowledgeable and thoughtful in his love for vintage timepieces. I enjoy every time I get to talk with him. His collection is unbelievable, and he was a phenomenal partner in selecting pieces to give as gifts. read more

We love this family business! Super professional, always reasonable prices, and they always do quality work. They are our go-to watch repair shop. My wife came in for a band adjustment on her watch last week, and we were out the door in less than 5 minutes! read more

I dropped my automatic watch at the airport and the rotor stopped moving. Second hand was going but the minute hand wouldn't move even when turning the crown. I bought this watch grey market so it was possibly refurbished but a shoddy job was done. Dropped by Shant's, he asked me some quick questions then went to work. He observed with a magnifying glass and said he can have it fixed in a couple hours for a good price. I was expecting a much longer turnaround and higher price so I gladly agreed. Came back at the agreed upon time and my watch was good as new and set to the correct time. I asked about the damage and he said some screws came loose and there appeared to be a dent inside the case. As far as I can tell the watch is keeping time well and in fact the sweep of the second hand appears to be much smoother. He seemed very knowledgeable and charged a fair price for good work. He also had a great collection of watches and clocks in his shop. Would like to come by another time to buy a watch from him. Thanks for the service! read more

A local watch repair that has great services, better prices, and not intimidating for those who have recently gotten into watches. I found my dad's old Longines that was from the '80s and I wanted to see if it would still work with a new battery. Shant instantly took care of it, changing it within seconds and was also able to provide leather band options as the original was very much destroyed. The price was great and I was really happy with how I felt leaving the store. A week later after I gave it back to my dad, he instantly got water damage in it. I went back to Shant's as soon as I could and he took care of it immediately and a month later, the watch is still working perfectly. Trust me when I say this. If you need a watch guy, come to Shant's! He will take care of you! read more

I recently found my vintage Mickey watch that was gifted to me when I was a young child, and I wanted to bring it back to life. I did a lot research on clock stores and decided to go with Shant's Clock store because I liked the storefront and the positive reviews. I'm so glad I made the right choice! I was expecting this process to drag on, where I would've had to leave my watch and come back another time, but I was in and out in less than 15mins! Thankfully all it needed was a new battery and I got a band replacement, which cost me $50. The associate was very friendly and patient, and I was serviced right away even though there was another customer ahead of me (who was deciding between watches). The store is small and quaint, and very clean and maintained. Easy to find and located in Old Town Pasadena. Will highly recommend! read more

Adjusted my watch band in less than 5 minutes for very affordable price! Highly recommended for any watch work!

Went in to have a watch band adjustment. The guy couldn't have been more helpful. He stopped what he was working on, advised me on how many links i should remove and had it adjusted right away. I was in and out in less than 5 minutes. He was quick, professional and extremely nice. Would definitely recommend to others read more

I went in last month to service my Rolex Explorer II and after getting multiple quotes elsewhere ( all of of them pricier with very long wait time) I chose to go with Shant after seeing all the good reviews and mentions of him on various Reddit Watch groups.

I had just purchased a watch and the bracelet was too big from the factory, so i had to get it resized before i could take it out for a spin in public. i dropped by the shop and boom in about 2 minutes, the extra links were taken out and I was on my way. Fast quick and easy it was $10 to get the bracelet resized. clean well lit shop. Excellent! read more

Brought 2 watches in to see what the issue was, just needed batteries. Super professional and fast. I noticed i probably would need a link put in, which i brought. I didnt need to leave them. Price was affordable. Great vibe in there and other cool customers to chat with. I will definitely be back for any watch needs. read more

Shant is super nice and professional. I popped in after work and got my Casio resized in maybe 1 minute for only $10! I know most watches are pretty easy to resize yourself, but Casio's are a little bitches so the $10 was completely worth it read more

My watch had died and needed fixing. I was in and out of there in two minutes and it's working great. Super affordable too, thanks guys

Great service and fast. Got our watches tuned up and picked up in a couple weeks. Definitely be back when we need service again

I had an issue with my Rolex Explorer 16570. It was running fast, not keeping a charge, and made a weird sound when you shake it. Shant opened it up on the spot and instantly diagnosed it as only needing a service. His service rates are way more reasonable than a Rolex dealership and he turned it around in one week. It's running perfectly and I will definitely bring all of my watches to him from now on. read more

Extremely experienced master watchmaker Shant runs this neighborhood business alongside his son, also a trained watchmaker (which is, unfortunately, a lost art these days!). Shant could not have been more welcoming and pleasant to me. While I simply had a vintage quartz Seiko that needed a battery replaced, I am quite the horologist in actuality, with a nice collection of high-end Swiss mechanical timepieces. Shant and I had a great time shooting the breeze about the state of the industry, mechanical watches and our shared love of vintage Swiss timepieces -- of which he sells many (Omega and Longines, especially. I think I even spotted one or two JLC's). A fun place to stop into to browse, to talk watchmaking, or to have repairs done to your treasured little gems. read more

I'm a complete watch amateur, but I was given a few old watches by relatives over the past few months. Each time, Shant has helped me replace their batteries and resize the band. Before going, I send a quick photo to ask for a price quote and he responds quickly. I like how his pricing is straightforward and fixed. In comparison, other watch places quoted me price estimate ranges, and I much prefer knowing the exact cost when I walk in. He works quickly so I can be in and out, without leaving my watch behind. Street parking outside is usually available but metered. I'll definitely be back! read more

Thank you for the fast and kind service! Extremely professional, and got me in/out in less than 10 minutes for a battery replacement and chain link repair. Very tidy and clean store! 10/10 recommend coming here, and meeting Shant. Support small businesses rather than fastfix in the mall! :) read more
