“Sir/Ma'am, I discovered your company some time ago and decided to pay a visit. With several upcoming professional and personal milestones to celebrate, I chose to stop by the Rolex boutique inside the store. Upon arrival, I was greeted by the Rolex concierge, Charles Chaikaew. From the very moment I met Charles, I was struck by his genuine sincerity and professionalism. His communication style immediately made me feel comfortable and confident in registering my name for a Rolex timepiece. To my surprise and delight, Charles later contacted me to let me know that the Rolex watch I had registered for was available and waiting for me. I was absolutely ecstatic. Charles and The 1916 Company made these important milestones in my life even more memorable. When I returned to pick up my timepiece, Charles created an incredible experience that I will never forget. Not only was he exceptional, but every member of your team—from the concierge staff to the associates throughout the store—was courteous, welcoming, and genuinely kind. I felt comfortable and valued in every part of the store. From the day I first stepped through your doors, I felt truly welcomed. Charles and your entire staff consistently provided an experience that has been nothing short of spectacular. The 1916 Company has earned a lifelong customer in me. Thank you again for making this such a memorable occasion. I am especially grateful to Charles Chaikaew for his outstanding service and dedication.”

“I had a great experience with Jason Mane. He went out of his way to secure the timepiece I wanted on a friday evening / afterhours no less. He communicated well, and I felt extremely comfortable making a purchase with him despite not seeing the watch in person. The experience was so good that I ended up buying a second watch with him within 1 week!”

“Stopped by the store with my fiancée while searching for a his-and-hers set of watches, and we had an outstanding experience. Our representative, Amad, was extremely professional, knowledgeable, and helpful throughout the entire process. He took the time to educate us on the brands we were considering and provided valuable insight that made us feel confident in our decision. A few weeks later, Amad contacted us to let us know my fiancée’s new watch had arrived and was ready for pickup. She absolutely loves her new timepiece, and I could not be happier with the level of service we received from the entire staff. The professionalism and attention to detail truly stood out, and I look forward to being a returning customer in the future.”

“My wife and I made an appointment and stopped in the 1916 Ardmore store last week to have several watches repaired and to research new watches for a possible future purchase. Our sales associate was Joe Ni. He was incredibly knowledgable and more importantly kind and attentive. He reviewed each each of the six watches that we brought in and made individual suggestions for servicing and/or repairs to each one. Afterwards he showed us a selection of 1916's new and preowned watches. The display at the Ardmore store of the different brands and individual models that each brand carries is the largest that I have ever seen in a store. Joe's knowledge of the different brands and the individual watches that each brand makes was incredibly helpful. If you want to see the available options in real life as opposed to on a computer screen I highly recommend the 1916 Ardmore store. By the end of the three hours that Joe spent with us, my wife had purched a new watch that was fitted and registered that same day and my new watch was overnighted to me the very next day. If you want to make a well educated decision and have a large selection to choose from you cannot beat this store for both its many options and the kind sales staff.”
