I contacted August for a purchase of a pre-owned Grand Seiko watch on the company's website and it was a pleasure to work with him. He graciously offered to ship the watch overnight because the purchase occurred over a holiday. It arrived promptly and in beautiful shape! Since my husband and I gifted the watch, our son-in law is obsessed with it and won't take it off!! Great job, August. Your company is lucky to have you.

The 1916 Compnay delivers uncomprimised customer service at every opportunity. The team truely values their customer's time and business. We made an appointment with Rob Mullendore to look at a Rolex for my wife. He truely listended to her preferences as the different models and configurations were discussed and placed on her wrist. This attention to detail helped her decide on the perfect watch. The day she took delivery of her watch was amazing and certainly worth the wait. Charles Chaikaew did a great job explaing the features of the watch and most importantly made sure the fit on her wrist was perfect. Trust The 1916 Company to deliver the expierience you deserve...

Exceptional experience at The 1916 Company in Newport Beach. I worked with the team to secure a Rolex CPO for my 40th birthday, and the professionalism was top-tier. Now, as an Army Captain celebrating a promotion, I’m working with Aria on a new Datejust to mark this milestone. Aria’s expertise and focus on long-term relationships make this boutique the gold standard for local collectors. Highly recommend.

Joe Ni is wonderful to work with. Very personable and attentive. He's helped my wife and me with a few purchases, and I recommend dealing with him when you are purchasing a watch in Ardmore or have questions.

I had a fantastic experience working with C’Quon Gottlieb. He was timely, professional, and genuinely great to work with from start to finish. The entire process, from the first inquiry to getting my dream watch on my wrist, was smooth and enjoyable. Everything was handled thoughtfully and efficiently, and I always felt confident throughout the transaction. 10 out of 10 experience and I look forward to working with C’Quon again.

We’ve worked with Tracie Ward of your company (and at Govberg before 1916) for at least 3 decades, because of her expertise, style and the relationship we’ve developed. She never pushes us to buy, but offers great options.
