Brian is able to repair watches and clocks that are repairable, and can determine which are not. He has also changed the batteries in my family's watches for years. read more

Let him change the battery on your watch, but nothing else!! Took my Rolex for repair and 6 weeks later came back worse Took it to the Rolex dealer and they were shocked to see how bad it was inside. Scratched in 3 places, broken screws and crown. Never again, not even for a battery!! He's as gentle as a blacksmith and this may offend a reputable blacksmith!! I would rate this a zero, but I am not allowed read more

The Tick Tock Store - Open watch - Watch Repair Near Me - Walnut Creek, California

Excellent service and repair of my Grandmother clock and 2 cookoo clocks They hadn't worked in over 30 years and he made them like new. Highly recommended. read more

A trustworthy, reliable, experienced & genuine, small-business owner. I was gifted a "grandfather clock" in 2010 and it ran fine for years... then stopped running. I ignored it for a few years then finally searched online and, conveniently, The Tick Tock Store was close by and the website showed it serviced grandfather clocks. I called, and had an appointment immediately at a convenient day/time for me. The owner is very pleasant and genuine and knowledgeable. He assessed, removed the clock mechanism that needed a good cleaning, and said he'd have it ready within a week-- and he did. Also called to verify the return date/time still worked for me. It runs just like new. And he kindly educated me on proper maintenance frequencies-- and I will be calling him again to keep it running. read more

Brian at The Tick Tock Store is outstanding! He repaired my Ridgeway Day/Date clock that I bought nearly 50 years ago, and brought it home for installation, all for a very reasonable price. Going forward he is my only clock-repair guy. I highly recommend him! read more

Top quality service at (very) reasonable prices. The owner is friendly and communicative. Highly recommend for all watch or clock repair services. read more

I'm thrilled that we have a watch and clock shop in our neighborhood. And it appears he does an excellent job. It would be nice, however, if he posted the correct hours on his door. Currently he's open only one day per week on Saturday 11-4 (this is per answering service message). After hearing owners response, Best wishes for speedy recovery from foot surgery! read more

The Tick Tock Store - Current posted hours. Actual hours 11-4 on Saturday IE He's open 1 day per week. - Watch Repair Near Me - Walnut Creek, California

This is a one-man operation, and the hours are limited, so you have to plan when to go, but do go to The Tick Tock Store for your watch or clock needs. Brian is very efficient and reasonably-priced and gives great service. I've gone to him for watch battery replacements and small repairs for a few years now, and I wouldn't go anywhere else. read more

Hi. I love your store name. I came up with an invention for a store that had the same name. It didn't work out. I think you should use our slogan anyway though: "Tick Tock Clock Shop: use clocks not sun dials" Think about it. read more

Great dependable service at reasonable cost. Bryan has even come to our house to service our grandfather clock. I highly recommend.

I went to pick up my clock. This is on a Saturday.The store was closed. I called to leave a message. The message box was full. Now what? read more

BEWARE!!! he is only open on Saturday's and quite honestly I don't know how he stays in business. We took a clock in for repair and were quoted two weeks to fix. Went back a month later and he said the part had not come in yet. Went back a couple more times over the next month and he was never open. I learned he is now only open on Saturdays. Well I went in this Saturday (3 months) and he still had not fixed the clock. I ended up taking it home and will take it to another place in the area. read more

i give up. i've been here a few times recently during his posted hours and the store is closed. i understand limited hours and i understand sometimes things come up. but this is ridiculous. if you are reading this assume he is closed and go somewhere else read more

I have had watch batteries replaced by the Tick Tock Store periodically for years, but had never had watch or clock repair. I brought my wife's ceramic clock that she received as a family gift to the store for repair, thinking that it probably was a lost cause and would have to be disposed. I was very satisfied with the repair, at a reasonable price. The clock now runs like it did when it was new, and my wife is also very happy. Highly recommended. read more

So happy to have the batteries changed on my two Mickey Mouse watches. Fast, friendly service on a Saturday around noon. Happy to support a small local business. read more

Sadly this place is a waste of time. Excuse my mediocre pun. I dropped off four vintage watches and was promised estimates within one - two days. Seven days later, I returned to the shop to find the door locked during normal business hours. I called the shop later in the day and was told that he had not had a chance to look at any of my watches yet. I returned to the shop to collect my watches. I will be taking my business elsewhere. If you cannot communicate you cannot run a successful business. Set expectations and follow through. read more

Its been 3 years and I have yet to hear any news. It's so annoying I went in 2 times but still the same thing.

Between my mantle clock and my Swiss watches Brian can repair it all. Also extremely affordable!!!

Fixed my solar wrist watch. Got it fixed in two weeks as promised. Nice service and quick response

My wrist watch needed a new batterery and the band had come off.The shop is very small and I waited outside, as the customer came out he looked at me and rolled his eyes and I walked in big mistake.As soon as I showed the man my watch and told him what I wanted he started complaining immediately telling me everything wrong with it and it is all bent up and it would to much trouble for him to fix I was thinking is this a joke? this guy is one step away from being a total jerk! and he cant attach a wristband I left the place rolling my eyes too So go some place else and find somebody who likes to to help you and fix watches. I went somewhere else and had this nice lady fix it in 3 minutes for free Jon A read more

I'm at their door at 1pm on Saturday. During advertized operating hours. Nobody there. Sign in window says they're open. Do not answer phone and no message capability. Amateurish way to do business even with Covid. I drove 20 minutes to get here. I won't be back. read more

Never open when it should be. Clocks are not fixed on time or even a month after sometimes. Went recently to take my grandparent's mantel clock in and was stopped by a customer outside who said the same thing. He had been waiting for them to open but they never seem to be around. I wasn't going to leave their clock there and take the chance I wouldn't see it again. read more

The quality of the work isn't bad. We got our antique clock back in good shape, not perfect, and some of the hinges still needed to be tightened by us. But it clearly had been cleaned and had new springs put in, which makes me happy. Brian isn't exactly on top of it. He gave my dad a receipt with the store's logo and a disclaimer to present receipt to pick up merchandise and that all merchandise left over 60 days would be subject to being discarded. After a few days Dad called to ask about the clock, but Brian couldn't find it and said he'd get back to us. A few days later, Mom called. Still no luck. When Dad called a few days after that to complain, Brian said, "Your clock is ready and it has been here for a while-- why haven't you come to pick it up yet?" Dad came in and presented the receipt, but Brian said, "I don't use those receipts anymore. Where did you get that from?" Regardless of the scatterbrained owner, the oldest thing in the house is back and in beautiful working condition with only minor tweaks to get it back to the way we know it. I waited a few days to write this review so that I know it really has been fixed. read more

I'm finally getting around to writing this review of a experience I had about a year ago. I brought in a Movado watch to have the clasp on the stainless steel watchband replaced. I assumed the new clasp would be a genuine Movado part, exactly the same as the old one. However, the new clasp was not the same, and it wasn't even a Movado. The mechanism that releases (opens) the clasp is harder to work than the old one. On top of that, one of the hinges that fastens the clasp to the band is very, very stiff. I mentioned all these concerns to the owner when I picked up the watch. He brushed them all off, saying the clasps are really all the same quality and the stiffness would loosen up (it never did!). I paid $110 to have this clasp replaced. That's not an insignificant amount and I think it should have been an exact replacement with a genuine Movado part. If for some reason the part could not be obtained, then the owner should have explained that to me in advance. read more

By husband goes here when he has a watch issue he can't seem to fix himself. His prices are great! He's been around for quiet some time. The only down fall is his "hours" on several occasions his closing time didn't matched up with the hours posted. read more

He came when he said he would. He was thorough and pleasant. I would recommend this business without hesitation!!

Do NOT go here in less you can wait a very long time... My Experience: Took three old time peaces here... I had documented all information: Make, model, source information, enlarged pictures of mechanism to make ID easier and the documented exact problem w/ each... Even supplied the parts for one piece... I asked very specific questions over the phone... Made an appointment and delivered the time peaces as promised... I asked at least 3 questions at the shop regarding the time needed to repair clocks... Each time is was a slightly different response, but a window of several weeks was always proposed... After 2 and 4 weeks I emailed and was put off w/ excuses... After 3 MONTHS (to be fair +- 5 days) I stopped by and requested the 3 pieces... ALL were in their original delivered containers and all in a drawer under the display case... The owner made excuseS about the complexity of repair of each piece although he had obvious not started repair - more BS... One piece was an old bulova accutron I had from the 1960's and even supplied a new battery... Another an old mantel clock that I had already thoroughly cleaned but could not fix as at my age I shake to much... This is NOT the place you want to go w/ your cherished time pieces as they will be placed in a dusty corner someplace and forgotten... read more

Very professional. We had him fix a cuckoo clock and a grandfather clock fixed. Both work like a charm. Called him back to adjust the sound on the grandfather clock and he did it at no charge. Would recommend him to others. Very satisfied. read more

Took over one year to fix one of my wall clocks...I gave up on it and went into the store asking for it and it was not ready. One day out of the blue I got a phone call and was told it was ready! Be careful what you take... read more

Brian was super personable, he gave great advice and history on the clocks (which is pretty cool), and he was really patient when we were trying to decide which of the 3 clocks that we had assessed we were ready to repair. He clearly knows his stuff, and every time I left his shop I felt very taken care of. Even though there were always tons of people coming and going from his little shop (very popular!), he never made me feel rushed and he multitasked well with the other customers at the same time. Excited to continue working with him in the future! read more

Recently had 2 watch batteries replaced. Brian was super nice, quick and thorough. I will definitely come back for any watch or clock needs.

I love clocks and watches. Beautiful timepieces. So I am in and out of a lot of watch shops. That is until I found the Tick Tock Store about eight years ago. Now Brian Nguyen, the owner of The Tick Tock Store, is my go to person for all things time related that I own. He can fix just about anything. He has even come to my home to tune up my grandfather clock. He has replaced batteries in just about any type of watch one can imagine. Got a watch that is Swiss made and "fully automatic", not a problem, he will tune it up at a very reasonable rate. Brian is very trustworthy, talented, and the prices he charges are beyond fair. read more

My Howard Miller wall clock quit working (after a number.. well over 10? years) so I took it to the Tick Tock Store for assessment and repair. The fix was a little more expensive than I expected since the clock needed an entire new mechanism...but worth doing since I like the clock and I received it as a gift so this is the only money I've spent on it. The clock works great! The store owner set it to the correct time and told me he held it a few days after repair so that he could be sure it was repaired and worked correctly. Was reassuring to know that the shop is an authorized Howard Miller repair shop. I am not rating 5 stars since the shop wasn't the best at communicating with me about the repair status. I had to call them, after not hearing for a couple weeks, about repair status. read more

I had a few batteries replaced the other day at this shop and was more than just happy with the service. Polite, straight forward and efficient; I just loved this shop. It is exactly what a clock/watch repair shop should be. They even put my wind up wrist watch back together after a person from Radioshack tried to replace the battery for me. Yes, you read that correctly. All in 10-15 minutes. I dashed over to Rite Aid for the wait. It is a little hard to find but it is catty-cornered from the far edge of Rite Aid - around the corner from the main parking area of the strip mall. Parking is in back for your convenience. I recommend driving around to the back as there are more shops back there and less congestion. Very nice experience! Go there! read more

Brian is great. I've been coming here for years. He knows his stuff. Reasonable prices and service with a smile.

we had an anniversary battery operated clock that was my mother in laws. I was told it would be ready in 2 weeks it is now a year later and he still does not have it fixed. It was excuse after excuse after excuse. read more

Brian provides excellent customer service and follow through. He repaired my family's old grandfather clock with the great attention and care it deserved. If you have a clock that needs repair, or just a tune up, you should call the Tick Tock Shop. He made an evening house call and was very accommodating. read more

Brian did a great job fixing up my Tag Heuer automatic dive watch, which had taken in some moisture. After opening up the watch he found some additional problems that he also fixed but still stayed with his original price quote, which was extremely fair to begin with. I definitely recommend you see Brian at The Tick Tock Store for your watch repair needs! read more

Brian has resolved my clock issue. We are all good!
