“I've had a fantastic experience with The 1916 Company in Philadelphia. The staff is incredibly knowledgeable, professional, and passionate about watches—exactly what you want when expanding a collection. Every visit has been met with thoughtful guidance, zero pressure, and great conversation. They've helped me make informed choices and I genuinely trust their expertise. Highly recommend this location if you're serious about timepieces and want to work with people who truly know their craft.”

“My partner and I were visiting my family in Philadelphia to celebrate my birthday and decided, on a whim, to visit The 1916 Company boutique while we were staying in town. I had heard of 1916 through their YouTube channel and host Tim Mosso, but hadn't had the chance to visit their store in person previously. I was immediately impressed by the boutique's size and layout, and was greeted at the door by the friendly staff. Monica, the sales associate who ended up assisting me directly, was delightful throughout the experience. She was extremely attentive and open to hearing all about my personal interest in various Rolex models. I mentioned that I was celebrating my birthday that weekend, and Monica ended up making my birthday wish come true with an allocation of a Rolex Sea-Dweller on my very first visit to the boutique. To help celebrate my birthday, she even gifted me with a beautiful, 1916 Company-branded, Wolf travel case to go along with my new watch. All in all, we had quite the lovely first visit to The 1916 Company boutique, and I hope to have the opportunity to visit and interact with the friendly, professional staff there many more times in the future.”

“I have been buying watches from Govberg/1916 for decades. I keep coming back because of Natalie Goldberg. A lovely person who treats her customers like family…. Henry (Tac) Justi”

“Monica at 1916 in the Philadelphia store is awesome. I recently purchased my 3rd watch and all 3 experiences have been painless. She has the knowledge and professionalism that is really appreciated. Well done. Looking forward to my next pursuit :)”

“The 1916 Company has completely exceeded my expectations. I got my first real piece from them, and I couldn’t be happier — both with the watch and the overall experience. Josh Thanos, my advisor, has been nothing short of amazing — knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely passionate. Every interaction with him has been a pleasure. I’ve also had the chance to connect with George Mayer, and those conversations have been absolutely priceless. This is a team that truly cares about the collector’s journey. Can’t recommend them enough!”

“Justin was helpful and professional throughout the process of purchasing the watch. The listing was accurate. The watch itself is absolutely, positively beautiful. The condition is excellent and was accurately represented on the site. The shipping was clearly prepared with care and was shipped immediately after Justin reached out to confirm the address and a date/time. I recommend The 1916 Company with no reservations whatsoever and I will absolutely buy another watch from Justin and the team.”

“Doing business with the 1916 Company doesn't feel like "Business". It feels like you're dealing with a group of friends who seem to be as enthused about helping you curate your collection as you do. I've been buying watches from them for the past 3 years and appreciate their great customer service. Shoutout to Will Huff and Ryan Spalding for guiding me through this incredible journey and helping me acquire some amazing pieces.”
