“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.”

“The newly updated 1916 store in Ardmore is beautifully done, and with an impressive selection of watches and jewelry. I had the chance to acquire a new piece from Karli who I've worked with for years. Great experience across the board.”

“I purchased a Nomos Orion 38mm watch from The 1916 Company. The watch was shipped very quickly and packed very safely. The watch was in excellent shape as advertised. I am extremely happy with my purchase and would purchase from The 1916 Company again and recommend them highly without reservation.”

“1916 is a large purveyor of watches. While that can sometimes be a detriment, in 1916’s case it is an asset. And they are not a faceless monolith without flexibility. I believe they truly love watches and understand they are dealing with customers who love watches just as much. Know your stuff and you will do well shopping here.”

“The 1916 Company, and Mr. Will Huff in particular, hit another home run for me. The Breitling Galactic 29 18K gold quartz watch was a hit with my wife and surpassed her expectations. Even after we looked at similar watches by Omega, Rolex, and Cartier, the quality and fit by Breitling was exceptional. Add in that the watch had time on warranty, as well as its original box and papers, which made for a completely satisfying purchasing experience. I highly recommend the 1916 Company. They are my go to source for fine timepieces.”

“I have been a client since your days as Watch Box when I bought my first Tudor watch in 2020. I came into your store (Govberg Jewelers) and had the the great fortune of meeting Victoria Zmuida and she has taken care of me ever since for all my watch needs. For my last purchase, she went out of her way to work with me on the Tudor Black Bay 54 with the Lagoon Blue dial since I was on the fence due to its size being smaller than my "normal" wearing watches of 42mm and not 37mm, but I overcame my reluctance without any pressure from Victoria. She is always very professional and knowledgeable and a great asset to The 1916 Company. I even worked with her when I was not in PA for 4 years .... she is that good and I would not go to anyone else!”

“Worked with Victoria at the Ardmore location over the last few months narrowing down my first luxury watch. Initially I was a bit overwhelmed with the many options that are available but, based on my personal taste/needs, she was extremely helpful navigating what suited me best. After coming with me on a few visits, my wife ended up partnering with Victoria on her first watch and had the same positive experience. We are both extremely happy with our watches and would highly recommend visiting the new Ardmore location & working with Victoria!”
