Had a great experience with Natalie Goldberg at the 1916 Watch Company in Philadelphia. I went in for a Grand Seiko “Skyflake,” and she made the whole process easy and enjoyable. I’m really happy with the purchase. Would definitely recommend working with her if you’re in the market for a watch.

I had an outstanding experience with The 1916 Company. I recently purchased a Rolex Yacht-Master and couldn’t be happier with how everything was handled from start to finish. Hans was my advisor, and he was top-notch throughout the entire process. Super knowledgeable, transparent, and never pushy…just genuinely focused on helping me find the right watch. He took the time to walk me through the details, answered every question I had, and made sure I felt confident in the purchase. The watch itself was exactly as described, beautiful condition and clearly held to a high standard. You can tell they take their Certified Pre-Owned program seriously. Overall, a smooth, professional, and enjoyable buying experience. I wouldn’t hesitate to work with Hans or The 1916 Company again.

My experience purchasing my first Rolex from The 1916 Company was exceptional from start to finish. The team was knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely focused on helping me. The entire process felt personalized and seamless, making what could have been an intimidating purchase feel exciting and memorable. It was a first-class experience that matched the significance of buying a Rolex, and I am already planning my next watch with them.

No more walking into local authorized Rolex dealers and having to choose and overpay for their older certified, impulse buy inventory. Now I get to select what I want. The way I want.

I’ve always been a big fan of Tim Mosso’s reviews and content on YouTube, so I finally decided to give 1916 Company a try. I found a beautiful Blancpain Leman Ultra Slim. Phil was amazing to work with. The communication was prompt and excellent, and he just genuinely a good guy to have a conversation with. Transaction was smooth, shipping was fast, and watch was as advertised. Definitely recommend, and can’t wait to find my next piece on 1916.

From the moment I stepped inside, I felt welcome. Jennifer and Harrison were friendly and helpful. I went there to purchase a Rolex, so they patiently explained the process and took down my preferences. It was an easy and smooth process. I was lucky enough to get my watch after a brief period and Jennifer was excited for me which also made it a special experience. The selection of pre-owned watches is also impressive, in addition to their jewellery.

Erica provided an exceptional experience from start to finish. She was welcoming, attentive, and very efficient in helping us find exactly what we were looking for. Before we even began trying on watches, she took the time to meet with us, understand my preferences, and guide me toward styles that would be a great fit. When it came time to try them on, she brought out a variety of options, which made it easy to compare and find the perfect one. Once we made our decision, Erica assured us she would do her best to find it, and she absolutely delivered. When we returned, everything was prepared and the process was seamless. She made the entire experience easy and enjoyable. We truly appreciate her effort and professionalism. Thank you, Erica!

It was our first time visiting the area and this shop. We just came from the beach side and decided to go to Fashion Island mall. We leisurely walked inside the 1916 shop and Erica Brun who was the sales advisor welcomed our questions about available time pieces. She was way accommodating and very friendly. After our chat, she offered me this beautiful Datejust 41mm (white dial) oyster steel watch! It was like as if she knew it was my birthday that week and was so lucky to have been offered the watch. I'm looking forward to more purchases at this shop.
