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.

Erik came through when it mattered most. Can’t recommend the team at 1916 on Walnut St in Philadelphia enough.

We have been shopping with 1916 since it was still a Govberg store in Philadelphia and am very impressed with its growth. The Ardmore location is beautiful and very inviting. We want to thank Tracie Ward for making us feel welcome and showing us around. Also for the Panerai deal, thank you!

I really enjoy going to your manhattan beach location. Garry, Justin and Max are great people to talk to and are very helpful. I stopped going to your newport beach location many years ago as the staff were not helpful.

I was browsing your app having previously purchased an engagement ring through Govberg. I came across an Oris Big Crown in bronze and sent in an inquiry. A short time later I was able to speak with August who was extremely knowledgeable and honest. A few days later it was on my wrist

I thought the sales team at 1916 Cherry Creek Denver were fantastic. I was assisted by Ms Shih and she was able to bring in the EXACT watch I wanted and then gave me 5 days to review it, see it, think about it, and ultimately purchase it. No pressure, no sales gimmicks (like somebody else was just trying it on a few hours earlier) , no games. Just super professional. I am very pleased with the Rolex I purchased and with the asssistance provided.

My experience at 1916 Company was wonderful! From start to finish in purchasing my beautiful watch, it could not have been any better. Carlos Leey made the process of finding my dream watch a breeze and he was so knowledgeable and helpful in the purchase, I can’t thank him enough! I would definitely buy from Carlos and 1916 again! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I had an absolutely incredible experience working with Victoria at 1916 Company. I came in looking for a watch to commemorate a milestone birthday, and from the very first interaction, Victoria was warm, professional, and genuinely invested in helping me find the right piece. She walked me through several options and helped me land on a 36mm Datejust - and I cannot get over how stunning this watch is. Victoria made the entire process feel personal and effortless. When it came time to pick up the watch, I brought my fiancée along because I wanted to share the moment with her and introduce her to Victoria. It says a lot when a sales experience feels less like a transaction and more like catching up with a friend. 10/10 experience from start to finish. I'm so grateful for Victoria's care and attention, and I look forward to working with her again in the future. If you're in the market for a timepiece at 1916 Company, ask for Victoria - you won't be disappointed.

I recently had the pleasure of interacting with the staff at the wonderful new boutique in Manhattan Beach. The entire experience was first class and enjoyable, and in particular Eron was extremely professional, knowledgeable, friendly, and personable. He took a genuine interest in me and I have never felt so comfortable and at-ease with a sales professional. He is an asset to your excellent company.
