“This was my first time shopping for a Rolex, and to be honest, I was a little intimidated. I had never been to an authorized dealer before, and from everything I’ve heard online, I expected the process to be difficult or overwhelming. But my experience with The 1916 Company completely exceeded my expectations.
Will and Theresa were absolutely amazing—friendly, knowledgeable, and incredibly accommodating throughout the entire process. They made me feel comfortable from the start and really took the time to walk me through everything. Their professionalism and genuine care made what could’ve been a stressful experience into something truly enjoyable.
Thanks to them, I was able to get a beautiful Datejust for my birthday, and I couldn’t be happier with it. The watch is stunning, and the overall experience was something I’ll always remember.
I will definitely be coming back for my next purchase. I highly recommend The 1916 Company!”
“Doing business with the 1916 Company doesn't feel like "Business". It feels like you're dealing with a group of friends who seem to be as enthused about helping you curate your collection as you do. I've been buying watches from them for the past 3 years and appreciate their great customer service. Shoutout to Will Huff and Ryan Spalding for guiding me through this incredible journey and helping me acquire some amazing pieces.”
“The newly updated 1916 store in Ardmore is beautifully done, and with an impressive selection of watches and jewelry. I had the chance to acquire a new piece from Karli who I've worked with for years. Great experience across the board.”
“From selection of products and brands to the company's facilities and staff, The 1916 Company has been a pleasure to work with. Ryan Spalding is a fantastic client advisor.”
“Victoria has been great to work with. Made the process really easy. I have already referred family to her who have bought another watch.
Hoping to pickup my next piece as soon as it becomes available available.
1916 is my favorite AD.”
“I purchased a Nomos Orion 38mm watch from The 1916 Company. The watch was shipped very quickly and packed very safely. The watch was in excellent shape as advertised. I am extremely happy with my purchase and would purchase from The 1916 Company again and recommend them highly without reservation.”
“This is my second luxury watch that I have bought from The 1916 Company, they have been fantastic to do business with, and I'm sure I'll be doing more business with them in the future.”
“George was absolutely incredible. He made the process very easy and helped me get the exact watch I wanted. The service and experience was first class from start to finish.”
“1916 is a large purveyor of watches. While that can sometimes be a detriment, in 1916’s case it is an asset. And they are not a faceless monolith without flexibility. I believe they truly love watches and understand they are dealing with customers who love watches just as much. Know your stuff and you will do well shopping here.”
“The 1916 Company, and Mr. Will Huff in particular, hit another home run for me. The Breitling Galactic 29 18K gold quartz watch was a hit with my wife and surpassed her expectations. Even after we looked at similar watches by Omega, Rolex, and Cartier, the quality and fit by Breitling was exceptional. Add in that the watch had time on warranty, as well as its original box and papers, which made for a completely satisfying purchasing experience. I highly recommend the 1916 Company. They are my go to source for fine timepieces.”
“I have been a client since your days as Watch Box when I bought my first Tudor watch in 2020. I came into your store (Govberg Jewelers) and had the the great fortune of meeting Victoria Zmuida and she has taken care of me ever since for all my watch needs. For my last purchase, she went out of her way to work with me on the Tudor Black Bay 54 with the Lagoon Blue dial since I was on the fence due to its size being smaller than my "normal" wearing watches of 42mm and not 37mm, but I overcame my reluctance without any pressure from Victoria. She is always very professional and knowledgeable and a great asset to The 1916 Company. I even worked with her when I was not in PA for 4 years .... she is that good and I would not go to anyone else!”
“Worked with Victoria at the Ardmore location over the last few months narrowing down my first luxury watch. Initially I was a bit overwhelmed with the many options that are available but, based on my personal taste/needs, she was extremely helpful navigating what suited me best. After coming with me on a few visits, my wife ended up partnering with Victoria on her first watch and had the same positive experience. We are both extremely happy with our watches and would highly recommend visiting the new Ardmore location & working with Victoria!”
“I am a long time, very satisfied customer/collector at your Ardmore location. Bryan is my primary contact and he is an absolute pleasure to work with - helpful, communicative and takes an interest in both my collecting interests as well as my family and other personal interests.”
“I cannot recommend the 1916 Company enough. They truly provide a curated and concierge experience - throughout my family’s entire process of working with them, the 1916 Company was honest, transparent, communicative, and kind. In particular, our experience was made all the better by working with Charles - truly an asset and ideal representation of the 1916 company.”
“I have been dealing with The 1916 Company for over 10 years and the quality of watches can only be matched by their excellent customer service. Dealing with George has been a complete pleasure and I highly recommend them without hesitation.”
