My father-in-law passed recently, and I was lucky enough to receive his beloved Rolex he received from IBM as a retirement gift back in 1989. I discovered it did not work at all, as winding it manually did nothing. I called the local Rolex dealer, and they quoted me a cost of $900 with a turnaround of about three months. World Time quoted $700 with a slightly shorter turnaround of two months. Fast forward two months, and I received the watch in like-new condition! In addition to fixing the broken main spring, they polished the band and crystal. Through no fault of their own, the watch started running fast. I took it back and it was quickly diagnosed as having a faulty main spring. They fixed it under warranty and in turn gained a loyal customer. Thanks World Time! read more

Guess what?, Mr. Son N. sent me a note ( as though he didn't do anything ) pretending and saying "it never happened". No no dude, it did really happen and I even confronted you, but you were so rude to me and said "this is your crystal, this is your crystal on the watch" which is obviously a lie, I think you didn't know that I checked the crystal you installed with a 10x loupe and clearly it was a counterfeit crystal without an Omega logo (I know my genuine omega crystal which you stole has an Omega logo in its center which can be seen clearly with a 10x loupe ), yes, you were caught off-guard, luckily there is Yelp to expose these types of crooks. read more

Don't be fooled by the unassuming storefront and the attached hair salon. These guys know their business and provide expert service at a reasonable price. My father's old Omega watch wasn't working. I had taken it to another watch store, and they had replaced the battery but said it wasn't working even with a new battery. I was expecting a repair to cost hundreds of dollars. World Time replaced the battery, and the watch is working after all. They also recommended a new quick-release watch band, easily found on Amazon. read more

Best watch repair experience I have ever had! Took in 5 watches with different issues and had them all handled for an insane price in less than 25 minutes. Seriously... if you have an old watch, something needing a strap fix, battery, etc. just come here! read more

They were polite and timely with a fair price to replace my watch battery. I would visit here or recommend them to anyone needing a battery for a watch. read more

Took my watch in for a new battery. Friendly customer service and got me in and out in less then 10 mins. $25 for the service. read more

Super quick service! I went in for a battery watch issue and they were welcoming and nice! Was in and out in less than 10 minutes, and it cost less than $20, Thank you! read more

Very courteous and skilled watch techs. It's a family operation and you can actually watch them work through a window, which I found enjoyable. read more

Changed the battery on my Bulova for $15. Person was polite! However, takes awhile until someone picks up the phone and there wasn't anyone waiting there at the front so I had to call them. It's in a small shop co-insided with a nail salon. Hard to find where it was. read more

Great job on my Rolex Submariner Professional and accurate quote Watch feels like nee read more

Have been a customer at World Time for 15 years and three locations. Their service is beyond excellent. I have watches from TAG-Heuer, Omologato and Torgoen and all have been serviced by the technicians here in a timely and efficient way. They are friendly and helpful and made me laugh last time when I took in a new TAG-Heuer automatic watch with a unique design. Everyone in the work area was crowded around and looking at my watch. I asked if there was something wrong? "no" they replied "we never saw a watch like that before" big smiles all around A great place...... read more

What a find!!! Another watch store wanted $75 to fix my ancient Bugs Bunny watch. Good thing they didn't have the parts. I went to World Time and the lovely owner repaired my watch in a few minutes for $15. Everything in his work space is immaculate. The shop is a bit tricky to find. It's back off Stevens Creek and shares space with a nail shop. It's well worth it. Highly recommended.hjoi read more

Watch repaired here recently and I'm a very happy first-time customer! Always nice to find good, unpretentious people in the world of watches. Clasp was not functional on one side of two trigger system. Bretlin diagnosed the issue in less than ten minutes and clearly explained the next steps. I left my watch there overnight--having visited in the evening (awesome hours by the way) and I was told to expect a call around noon the next day. That call arrived on schedule. This job required a new part, and I appreciate the care taken when replacing with a new stock part. When i asked, they explained what went wrong in the clasp and gave me the faulty part. My watch comes back to me looking even better than before. I have a feeling they may have done some superficial cleaning complimentary From these quicker jobs to movement overhauls of the finest Swiss watches, these guys are very capable for all work and a genuine pleasure to do business with. Cool to see the technicians at work while enjoying a coffee. Many thanks World Time! Don't hesitate to take your watch needs to the team here and support this family owned and operated local business. read more

Great service. They have been keeping my omega cleaned and running for 10+ years. Like the new location.

Called ahead of time, very polite phone call and they told me no problem...come on over. Location has good off street parking, is a watch repair/nail salon, with AC, beverages (bottled water & coffee machine, and candy. Interior was very clean. Replaced three batteries for $45 dollars total. Took maybe 20 minutes. Brought three different types of watches of three different ages. One of the watches was "not replaceable" at a shop I tried in SF. My grandfathers watch from 1971. Will definitely go here again. Even gave me insight into my older watch I didn't know about. read more

I brought in my Rolex for a full service. It takes a few weeks but I did not mind on the wait because of the excellent service I know I will receive. Just picked up my Rolex and I am 10000% happy with it! Throughout the process Son texted me pictures to show that he is working on taking my watch apart to service it. What watch store in the Bay Area do you know that would do that? That is what I call a legit business. Will come back for future services. read more

Service took a very long time and expensive. More importantly, they are not honest and can over charge 100%, watch out! read more

I have been going to them for the past 10 years and have been following them to their 3rd and permanent location. This one is their own property and beautiful with ample parking and with nail salon tandem. Extremely clean and with rest room plus free coffee or tea! Wow! read more

I had an Oris Aquis serviced here, and they did a bang up job on both the mechanical work as well as the polish on the watch. I gotta ding them a star because they gave me a quote on the phone and straight up raised it $50 when I got there, and also they're not great with calling you when your watch is finished, as some reviews have echoed. But they do decent work and if I'm local to the SF Bay I'll probably use them again, but make sure they stick to the original quoted price next time. I do wanna add though that some of these low star reviews for battery changes and pricing...some hoe games right there. Really, a battery change and some commentary between the watchmakers and you're gonna go with the one star even though the work got done? This is why we can't have nice things. read more

I've had Son (owner) service my watches for over 20 years. Mostly Rolexes (Subs, GMT's, Daytonas, etc.) but other makes as well. He is an absolute master. He's also incredibly nice, 100% trustworthy and his prices are more than fair. When I buy watches, I ALWAYS meet my seller at WT and have Son do authentication. I cannot recommend WT enough. It's the very best watchmaker in the Bay Area. read more

I found my new watch and clock repair place. I took my Omega in for a battery and fixed on the spot. Super clean shop and friendly owners and staff. I highly recommend this place. Make it your first call or stop. read more

My best friend and I went to World Time to have his Omega Seamaster Professional adjusted to fit his wrist. Excellent service and took roughly 5 minutes before it was adjusted perfectly. Priced accordingly as well. I then went there to have them service an Omega Seamaster Professional that has been kept in a drawer for over 10 years. It was fixed, polished, and had its battery replaced. It now looks in excellent condition. It took a little over two months to pick up my watch but it was worth the wait. This is now part of my watch collection to wear and enjoy. Next stop, a Rolex Submariner Date! Highly recommend this place! read more

Glad to have found this watch service business. I have four watches that I haven't used in years but needed new batteries, and they serviced all of them while I waited. Their location has all the technical equipment needed on site, and there were several service people including the owner Son working behind a big clear window, all visible. My watches were top brands that they service. When I called for a quote, I then came in and they charged exactly as quoted. I would trust them for any future watch repairs that I need. Easy to get to with designated parking. Great experience! read more

I was a little skeptical this place is shared with a nail spa.. I was given my Grandfather's watch from 1947 it seemed to tic but I could not adjust the time with the dial and winding button.

No charge...... Nice,clean , parking out front and hey get your nails done too read more

Son expertly serviced a really beat up Omega Speedmaster MK40 that I bought off eBay. Lead time was two months; Son said they were really busy. The service, polish, and new crystal (the AR coating was coming off on the original) was $875. The level of finishing on the lugs where sharp edges were maintained between the satin and polished sides was top notch. I am really happy with the work done and will be bringing my other watches here in the future. read more

Amazing work done on my rolex day date president by Son. It was going to take 8 weeks but I was heading out of town and with a little extra on top the cost my watch was done in 3 weeks.

My husband needed a full service and complete overhaul on his Tag. He was long overdue and very rough with his watch. After getting quotes from retailers and other watch shops, we decided to go with Son at World Time. It was a quick visit when we dropped off the watch because he was very straight forward with us and you can tell that watches were his craft. I had never heard of World Time before but based on the yelp reviews, we thought it would be the best choice. We were right! Son's prices are the best and the service he provided was top notch. His turn around time was quick. Retailers told us they would have to ship our watch over to Europe to get it done and it would take 6 weeks. Son did all of the work in house and returned the watch to us in immaculate condition in 2 weeks! When he dismantled the watch to do a full cleaning and inspection, he sent me a picture of all the pieces that made up the watch. It was incredible and I appreciated it. Son is a master of time pieces. I highly recommend going to his shop for all of your watch needs!! read more

I needed to get a battery change for my mom's Movado watch. I usually go to a place on Blossom Hill to get my own watch batteries changed but they recently raised the battery prices and I think it's too expensive now to pay that much just for a battery that lasts less than a year long. I called and got a price quote and felt that they were reasonably priced. The gentleman I spoke with also said they give a two year battery warranty so that gave me all the more reason to come here. As soon as I came into the shop, the gentleman I spoke with over the phone said it would take 15 minutes to change the watch battery. The shop itself was very clean, pleasant smelling, and very well lit. I waited for less than 15 minutes and was told the battery change was all done. I was super pleased by the customer service and the service I paid for. You're definitely going to see me back at this shop for all my future watch needs! read more
