I'd brought my vintage Omega Constellation to so many watchmakers who were all unable to make the thing run accurate time. Ruben took one look and knew exactly what was going on, and was able to fix in record time (like omg wtf I was shocked by the short turnaround time). He even sent me photos of the watch broken out into parts and reassembled. Ruben made such a commitment to my watch, a sentimental piece, and I'm happy to say that he's earned my trust as a watchmaker for life. Would happily trust Ruben with my vintage pieces again and would love to have him rehab something crazy sometime soon! read more

I have nothing but high praise for this watch shop. Mr. Ruben B was amazing to woro with; he is kind and thoughtful towards his customers. I came in the shop to have some watch bracelets replaced and he was very helpful. Not only does he exude professionalism, but he provides skilled service with a heart. He was honest about his opinions on which watch straps were best, and even talked me through the process of replacing my case back. I will definitely go back here to have my mechanical watches serviced in the future. I highly recommend this place! Shoutout to Mr B for the wonderful experience! read more

The owner couldn't have been kinder or more helpful. Friendly, efficient and affordable.

Incredible experience. I had a bracelet that needed to be fixed, when I went to another place they said it would take a week for $100, this place fixed it in two minutes for almost half the price. Ruben helped me out and is an incredible guy. read more

Trust me, bring your watch or jewelry to Ruben and Time Piece for an amazingly satisfying experience! read more

I took my husband's gold Movado to Timepiece to have it assembled and cleaned. I had gifted this watch to my husband 40 years ago and he dropped it and it laid in pieces under our refrigerator for the last month. Ruben cleaned the pieces, reassembled watch and charged basically nothing! I am giving it to my husband for his birthday next week. Poor watch! Anyway, while waiting for watch I noticed Albert working on jewelry. I had a wedding band that I rarely wore. I asked adult daughter if she would wear it, "No, too showy". My husband had bought me this diamond eternity band after he lost my simple but pretty wedding band at the airport. I asked Albert if he could chop up my ring and make it into earrings that I could gift to loved ones. "Of course", he said and the next day I dropped off my ring. I must admit to a certain amount of anxiety. I handed this ring to a complete stranger and asked him to chop it up. What Have I Done!? A few days later I got the call that the earrings were done. I was so amazed at what Albert had created that I actually cried when I left their shop. There were my 15 sparkling diamonds set in their original platinum! He attached yellow gold posts explaining that white gold doesn't adhere well to platinum. He then dipped the posts in platinum. Albert also set the lone stone in a pendant which I never paid for. Very lovely. I accidently walked by this neighborhood shop where these two gentleman do their craft with such pride and professionalism. Very rare indeed. What to do with my husband? Even Ruben and Albert can't fix him! read more

Great service. I came in for the first time and needed a bracelet and ring fixed. I said I needed it quickly and Albert finished the job in under 2 hours for both. Great experience and he was super friendly. High quality work, I will go back next time I need something repaired! read more

Ruben is fantastic! He's professional, his services are fairly priced, and he gets the job done quickly. Highly recommend for anybody looking to fix their jewelry or replace any broken pieces.

Ruben at TimePiece is amazing -- an old-school craftsman and a friendly genius. I brought him a vintage Piaget tank watch that had been left to me by a dear friend but which hasn't worked in almost 30 years. Ruben diagnosed that the movement was rusted through from water damage. He was able to clean and restore the watch completely with original manufactured parts. Unbelievable -- I love my watch and I can't recommend Ruben more highly. read more

Ruben was so helpful in repairing a couple of watches I brought in that desperately needed to be fixed over the past few days. It was a great experience and at a great price point. I couldn't be happier! He was super fast and I love how they all look now. He sent photos of the progress too, which I really loved.

Ruben restored my great-grandmother's 100+ year-old gold watch and did a fantastic job! His turnaround time was only a couple of hours and he confidently took on my project after many other watch places/jewelers told me they didn't have the capability of working with this type of watch. Thanks, Ruben :) read more

This is an extraordinary reputable watch and jewelry repair store. These two gentleman, Rubin and Albert are the GOAT of their trade. They are professional, knowledgeable, kind and highly skilled jewelers. They take pride in their craft as only a family owned business can. Rubin's Grandfather is smiling from above.

Ruben and Albert are a neighborhood treasure: talented and honest. In the immortal words of Tony the Tiger, "They're Grrrrrrreat!" I recently took four watches into Time Piece. 1) Swiss Army by Tiffany & Co (1992). I wore this watch while backpacking through Asia, the Middle East, Egypt, and Europe for 6 months. It was thoroughly destroyed and hadn't ticked in years. I was sure it would never be wearable again. I also purchased a new band that looks great ($35). I'm wearing again because Ruben is a wizard! 2) G-Shock (1998). Ruben replaced the battery and tested it in water. It's good to go for the beach this summer! 3) Mougin & Piquard by Tourneau (2011). M&P is an old Swiss brand that went bankrupt years ago and was resurrected by Tourneau. I got a new battery and had it cleaned, inside and out. It looks great! 4) Flea Market Watch ($25, 1996). This old timepiece was self-winding and hasn't kept good time in recent years. Ruben tested it and was totally honest with me. He told me that he could rebuild the entire watch for $400, but unless it was an heirloom or had substantial emotional significance, that it really was not worth it. I told him it was a flea market purchase and decided to send it off to meet its maker, so to speak. Ruben agreed! My total bill to bring three beautiful watches back to life? $100. And they were ready in 24 hours! I have another dozen watches I've collected over the past 30 years and they're all going straight to Time Piece! read more

Best watch repair service in the area! Ruben is so incredibly talented, honest, quick, knowledgeable. He replaced the battery in my Cartier watch in less than 5 minutes and even cleaned my ring. I would stop your research and just go here- you won't regret it. read more

Timepiece is incredible. I have been there twice. I first went there to fix a necklace that was gifted by my mom. I also had a bracelet and in both cases, the link connecting the chain had broken. Ruben showed me a wide range of possible options and we ended up choosing the lobster piece since then I haven't had a single issue with the necklace or the bracelet. This previous weekend, I ordered a new watch and the clasp wasn't working. I came in in the middle of the rain, Ruben took a quick look at the watch in the middle of another project. He quickly fixed it and said no need to pay. I insisted, but he said no need to pay this was a quick fix, and he said thank you so much for coming back. That type of professionalism has really earned my long-time business and the quality of the work has been absolutely incredible (and I am going to tip extra next time to pay as Ruben's time isn't free ) Thank you so much Ruben for the help and I strongly recommend anyone going here for any watch or jewelry repair needs. read more

Ruben really knows what he's doing. Several other watch repairs shops told me it would take weeks to fix my watch, but Ruben had everything fixed in minutes. I'm glad I found him! read more

My 18-year old Seiko watch was working fine, but I knew it was time to replace the battery. When I handed the watch to the owner, he opened the case and inserted a new battery. I didn't work. He tried inserted it again. It still didn't work. There was a circular piece in the watch that he said didn't belong there. He repeatedly said, "It doesn't work." I asked if he could fix it. He said no - and no one would have the circular piece because the watch was too old. When I said it had been working fine before I gave it to him he said, "What do you want me to do about it? I didn't break it." I chose not to escalate the encounter because there were two security doors that only he could operate for both entrance and exit. Regardless of his professional expertise, his rude dismissive behavior is reason enough NEVER to patronize his business! read more

Ruben helped me in tightening two watches and one ring. He was transparent on pricing, and gave his advice on how the best ways to go about my projects were. He was timely and completed my jewelry in an hour. He walked me through his entire processes, and I loved learning more about his business. This was my first time working with a jeweler and I am blown away. When I came to pick up my pieces, he had the biggest smile across his face and thanked ME for trusting him. 11/10, you can't do better. I will be recommending him and his brother to anyone who asks (or doesn't ask), and will be back many times. read more

I walked into this store by coincidence about a year ago because I needed a battery replacement for my 40-year old Beaume & Mercier watch. Ruben B. not only changed the battery in no time but also polished the crystal. The watch looked like new. Since then I've been back for various jewelry repairs, ring sizing and cleaning, which is usually done by Albert. Ruben and Albert work very fast, efficiently and their prices are reasonable. They are also very friendly. It is a pleasure to deal with them! Marina S. read more

Popped in for a watch battery today - it was done in a matter of minutes, he did a pressure test for me (another place told me it failed last time I did a battery replacement - it didn't fail today so they probably wanted a repair fee at the last place) - he also cleaned it AND my rings, and all for an extremely reasonable price. I paid cash and he was even giving me back too much change when I reminded him of his quote. I will certainly come back here for my watch and jewelry repairs. read more

The lovely and talented owner not only extended my sentimental necklace, but he seamlessly added the exact same chain to it and gave me the option to now wear it at two lengths. Masterful work and very quick turnaround. So so pleased and I feel I have a brand new treasure. Thank you! read more

Went to Time Piece NYC yesterday afternoon to ask about repairing a broken clasp on a silver chain necklace and putting a new, larger clasp on a gold necklace. Albert Aminov was very helpful, gave me an estimate which I agreed to, and then told me to come back at 6 pm to pick them both up. Came back a little before 6 and he was polishing up the silver chain - I apologized for being early and he just laughed. Showed me both chains, now sparkling and with clasps repaired. Paid, thanked him and was off. Easy, efficient, and on time. Kinda perfect. read more

Ruben is amazing at what he does. Fixed up my Breitling Navitimer in minutes, and gave it quick polish, all for a very reasonable price. Super down to earth and humble person. Highly recommend for any watch needs. read more

Ruben is a pro! I brought my vintage gold Cartier in for a polish. Was quoted a fair price and a couple hours later, it looks brand new! No damage to the structure and I can tell the polishing was done very carefully. Will be back with my other watches soon! read more

They are amazing. I had a stuck watch band that I had fiddled with for an hour. Brought it here and within two minutes, he had it removed and a new band put in. No charge. I'll definitely be coming here for any issues big or small. read more

My repair took way too long and staff are rude. Simple watch repair was overpriced as well. Plenty of better business in the area so I would not recommend wasting the time or money. read more

I went to this place to get my engagement ring fitted. It's an old ring and the band was really thin on the back. They suggested I changed the back of the band to a thicker one to balance the ring more and prevent it from turning upside down. I was terrified at first cutting the ring in half and leaving it, but the people working there are amazing and feel so professional and knowledgeable that I decided to go for it. The result is great. I would not even know it was touched or that the ring didn't always have this thicker gold band. Really great job and trustworthy people. My new go-to place. read more

Best service, very good quality good value, and service is perfect, good costumer service

How delightful that some places in this city actually get better with time! After having had several beloved clocks & watches repaired & restored & having bought several beautiful vintage metal watchbands at this once-quirky, cluttered, old-time West Village gen over the decades, I was afraid it might have gone the way of far too many Village institutions & disappeared. But good news! It has not only survived; it has thrived & is enjoying a new life with a lovely new owner. Ruben (sp?) is evidently carrying on a family tradition of watch-making & repair & did a beautiful job restoring & repairing a gorgeous band I bought from the ladies who used to own/run the shop years ago. The pride & joy he takes in his work & his shop are clear & infectious! What a pleasure to meet him & how utterly thrilled I was to have my treasured watch band fixed & cleaned on the spot in under 15 minutes (& watch battery checked) for $20! I can't thank him enough or offer sufficient praise. Congratulations to him on this endeavor. When I am in need of repair for this or any other watch or jewelry or if/when I am in the market for new pieces, I will definitely be back! read more
