“I am 10 years retired from the fine watch industry, and spent over 30 years "talking watch". What began as a simple phone query to Watchbox in 2021, turned into a fabulous friendship. A fellow watch-nut named Bill Comfort happened to pick up the telephone that first day. He answered my queries about their trade-in process concisely and even agreed to drive from PA to CT to retrieve my trade and deliver my purchase. Since that time, Bill has sold me many hard-to-find timepieces and is more than fair with my trades. Bill does business the way I used to. It's not about "selling" watches. It's about being so excited about a new introduction from SIHH or talking about a timepiece we both like...inevitably, it turns into a sale. He's a great guy that works at a great company...and he delivers!!!”

“Exceptional Watch & Outstanding Service!
I recently purchased a Calibre de Cartier from The 1916 Company, and I couldnʼt be happier with my experience. From start to finish, everything exceeded my expectations.
What really stood out was the companyʼs customer service. My order was processed quickly, and shipping was prompt. The watch arrived securely packaged, and when I had a quick question about the condition, Erik responded promptly and accurately.
Overall, I highly recommend The 1916 Company to anyone looking for a quality timepiece and a seamless shopping experience. Iʼll definitely be a returning customer!”
“I have had several interactions with them, all good. Recently I have been searching for a rare Cartier pasha not usually available in the US. One appeared son their website and I bought it immediately. They told me the condition was immaculate and it was. Absolutely gorgeous. Pashas are unusual in winding and setting but this was clearly explained. The watch is the jewel of:my collection and they are my first choice to buy. My highest recommendation!”
“Excellent experience. I was treated so well. Not pressured at all and was very happy with the selection and purchase. I am a repeat customer and have always had a great experience. George, Armand, Jackie … all fantastic.”
“I purchased the Rolex GMT “Batman” preowned watch and was met with outstanding customer service by Max. He took my order via phone and handled my order with care. The transaction was smooth, and he shipped the watch with next day shipping. My husband loves the watch! I would definitely purchase from The 1916 Company again!”
