SAM'S WATCH REPAIR is the watch maker for life by providing exceptional service, so that our clients can demonstrate their love and appreciation or their own sense of style.
Mechanical watch movements, meaning automatic or watches needing to be wound daily, require a different level of maintenance. Because these watches have hundreds of moving parts inside.
We carry a full line of replacement watch straps and bracelets. We also have access to a large selection of factory band parts, including clasps, links, end pieces, and buckles. We have the ability to hand craft parts and laser weld bands and bracelets. If need be we can also offer full replacements.
A quartz watch, which uses a battery, doesn't require any service until the battery needs to be replaced. This is usually 2-3 years from the time it leaves the factory, not from when you buy it.
The front part of the watch is usually made of glass or plastic. This is called the watch crystal. Watch crystals can break or crack from impact or perhaps dropping the watch on a hard surface. Most crystals are available to replace as original.
An overhaul consists of completely taking apart the movement, then ultrasonically cleaning & re-oiling it. Also, we time the movement and ultrasonically clean & polish the casing and bands.
A "quartz conversion" consists of replacing your watch's existing mechanical/electric movement with a modern electronically regulated quartz movement. We strive to maintain the original appearance of the watch.
Allow us to restore your vintage mechanical watch, with the care and professional service any family heirloom deserves. We are not a production repair facility, rather a specialized shop, unhurried and uncompromising in our approach taken to restore your timepiece
For people who swim or regularly or get their watches wet, it is important to have the seals on your watch checked every 3 years and the watch pressure tested as part of the service.
The crown of the watch is the "knob" on the side of the watch that is used to set the time. A stem is attached to the crown of the watch and goes into the movement. This allows the watch be set. If you have a broken stem and crown, most can be replaced with original parts to ensure the highest quality repair.

We just moved to Chattanooga. We had a large round wall clock and a cuckoo clock that needed repair as a result of rough handling during the move. Sam was very professional and friendly. We anticipated that we would have to wait for days or weeks to get the repair work done. Sam recognized that it was only a minor repair. He fixed both clocks in an hour, And the final bill was very appropriate. He didn’t try to exaggerate what needed to be done and charge us a lot of $$. We highly recommend him. He’s an honest man and good at what he does.

Sam is the man! I had taken my 23 Jewell Automatic Seiko watch to two different shops around the world as I was traveling and spent a small fortune on it in Hobart, Tasmania. Only for it to fail again a few days later. Sam took a quick look at it and said the weight was off and that meant it wouldn't wind properly. He handed it back to me and said he thought that had fixed it. He just charged me $10 for putting a battery into my Casio (backup) watch and wouldn't charge me at all for fixing my $400 Seiko! I waited a few days to check it out and it has operated flawlessly and it is still amazingly accurate for an automatic watch with no battery or quartz. I won't be using any other shop in Chattanooga. Next I'll let him clean dad's vintage Hamilton railroad watch. He knows what he's doing! Highly recommended.

I recently relocated to Chattanooga and unfortunately, my beloved large round wall clock and cuckoo clock didn't survive the move unscathed. However, my worries were put to rest when I found Sam's repair service. From the moment I reached out, Sam's professionalism and friendliness were evident. I had braced myself for a lengthy repair process, but Sam quickly assessed the situation and assured me it was a minor fix. True to his word, he had both clocks ticking away happily again within just an hour. What's more, the final bill was more than fair; Sam didn't inflate the costs or push unnecessary repairs. I can't recommend Sam highly enough. His honesty, efficiency, and skill make him a standout in his field. If you're in need of clock repair in Chattanooga, look no further than Sam. He's the real deal.
