I’ve had an outstanding experience with 1916 Company over the past year. It’s always a pleasure working with Ryan—she is incredibly helpful, knowledgeable, and makes the entire process seamless from start to finish. She has assisted me with two purchases within the last 12 months, and each experience has been nothing short of exceptional. This is truly a place we love visiting. The atmosphere, level of service, and overall experience keep us coming back. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a top-tier jewelry buying experience.

If I could rate the 1916 company 10 stars I would. What wonderful people who always greet me as a friend and valued customer. Always an excellent experience. I've purchased several watches from Charles Chaikaew and it is always such a pleasure to deal with him. He isn't a salesperson, but rather an advisor and friend. Can't say enough good things about the company and the fantastic employees who make my every visit such a pleasure!

Being my first time buying a diamond, I did not know what to expect. However the experience was fabulous. Todd was amazing with his interest in my need to wow my wife and getting to know me. Beautiful and inviting building. Planning to go back with my wife.

Great experience overall with 1916! Would absolutely work with them again. Big thanks to August Benjamin, who helped me track down a watch I've been eyeing for a while for a great price. 1916 definitely provides a "white glove" service!

Great experience. I highly recommend the 1916 Company, the H Moser & Cie perpetual Streamliner was mint and much better than expected. The communication was great, shipping lightning fast at a fair price. Lastly, working with Will Huff was a great experience. Will is friendly, knowledgeable and very professional. Thanks, love the watch.

Hunter helped me buy my 116719BLRO, and she was fantastic from start to finish. I didn’t feel judged or pressured at any time. You can tell she’s really trying to listen to what brings a guy in. And I was genuinely impressed with how knowledgeable she was of obscure smaller brands I happen to be a big fan of (Sinn, Ball). She was patient and went above and beyond making herself available after hours, even though I got tangled up in stuff and just ran late. She did not make fun of me, or even break eye contact when I came in with a dryer sheet sticking out of my right sleeve. She listened to me go on about philosophy, silly drawings I make, and the sideways ways I enjoy watches. She’s super personable, I loved getting to hear her perspectives on travel, culture and the watch community. I’m summary, lshe has a great vibe. The world better be kind to her.

I had an exceptional experience at this store. Dylan, the service associate, and John, the sales associate, were incredibly helpful and knowledgeable. Dylan guided me through the waitlist process and assisted me in trying on the watch. John communicated effectively throughout the entire process and was a pleasure to work with. It’s not just about getting the watch you want; it’s also about having a wonderful experience. This store truly stands out, and I’ll definitely be returning for my next purchase. Thank you The 1916 Company for making this an unforgettable experience!
