After receiving a recommendation to use Watkins for clock repair, I took my cuckoo clock to them to…read morerepair because the chain in the movement came loose. I was told it would be finished in a week. I followed up multiple times asking for the status and was always told they were waiting on the part and it would be ready in the next week. After several months of waiting for them to fix the chain, I finally called and told them I wanted to come in to the shop and pick up the clock. When I arrived at the shop, they acted as if they had no recollection of the phone conversation. They couldn't find the clock and when they finally found it, it was missing the bird and hands. They found the bird but not the hands. They seemed very carefree about it and offered no apology. Unbeknownst to me because of lack of knowledge at the time, the bellows were missing and they gave me the wrong movement for an 8 day clock when my clock contained a 1 day movement. Essentially they disassembled my clock and returned it with incorrect and incomplete parts. I didn't realize this at the time so I didn't question the parts they gave me. Later after watching repair videos, I had to order new parts to replace all the parts they didn't return to me. It's outrageous that a business this unorganized and unprofessional is still operating. Do not use this shop.

This place is the worst! I have come here for years and was always treated fairly until they got a…read morenew manager. The new manager is terrible! He takes breaks every 5 minutes and is often gone for 20+ minutes leaving customers waiting and most often they just leave out of frustration. Though I decided to give it one more chance yesterday when they charged me $20 to take off one link (a service that took only 3 minutes)! This service had always been free before but apparently is not now. When I got the money out I said that it had always been free before and the new manager acted like I was an idiot telling me they have always charged for that service. Then he tells we it's actually going to be 22.87 but when I questioned again he told me it would just be $20 after all. He then asked me if I wanted a receipt and I said yes. He then said if you want a receipt you'll have to pay $22.87. So I said I guess I don't need one then. He then left the money out and didn't put it in the cash register because I'm pretty sure he is pocketing it for himself as he knows the service should've been free and he wanted an extra large tip. Needless to say this manager ought to be fired! But if not it won't matter to me as they have permanently my business! A place that I have spent hundreds and hundreds of dollars at before. I will never make that mistake again!

I've been here twice, and both times service was quick, friendly, and satisfying. Robert (I assume?) explained everything he did clearly, and I really appreciate when people take the time to let you know what's going on. There was also another jewelry artist there who was also all-around awesome. I swear I'd hang there all day if that wasn't weird. I've only needed small repairs so far (reattaching a crystal, replacing a wrist strap), but this would be my first stop if I needed any watch repair, simple or complex, quartz or mechanical. And the prices are very fair, so don't let the jewelry scare you off. AND I learned that Robert does pocket watch repair too! It's a vanishing craft, and we are really lucky to have a specialist right in town. A few years ago I had been searching for someone to service my pocket watches (regular cleaning), and had no idea Robert's was even an option--I wish I did. The location I went to specialized in clock repair, but even they had to outsource the work. I may have briefly come across Robert's online, but probably assumed it was the "battery-change specialist" kind of jewelry shop. I'm kicking myself for past-me being a doofus. Champaign truly has a gem (ha ha) in Robert's!
