“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.”
