The Watchmaker

01/23/2026

Our head watchmaker Steve Boynton and our founder Jack Kurdzionak are at Massachusetts Institute of Technology this weekend teaching a class with Prof. Gerry Sussman. They are covering watch repair fundamentals along with the theory behind mechanical watches, hopefully getting most of it in before the snow starts.

In this activity each student will learn about the design and construction of a mechanical watch. The student will take apart a watch movement and put it back together, with instruction from Jason Champion (instructor from the AWCI: American Watchmakers and Clockmakers Institute), with help from Jac...

The Watchmaker is closed next week so the staff can take a well-deserved break.... kick back by the pool, go to the beach, or sit in front of the air conditioner and watch youtube. Whatever they want to do, in other words. We'll see you back on July 8th- have a safe and fun Fourth of July!!

We will be closing the store at 379 Main St on 4/22, reopening at the new location 271 Main St Suite 205 on May 1st.

Please note we are trying to finish as much work as we can in the run up to the move, anything dropped off between now and the move will not be addressed until we are settled in the new space.

Thank you everyone- oh by the way there's still some amazing watches in stock priced to fly out the door. Come on by and take one home!

Hi Everyone just an update- lots going on in preparation for the move down the street to our new location. We should be fully over by May 1st, but will likely be there a week or two earlier. We will be closed for at least a week for the move and set-up, we'll announce that so you can plan accordingly. In the meantime, we are selling down our watch inventory; the new location will be focused almost exclusively on service rather than retail watch sales. If you've been thinking about getting a new watch, there's no better time. They've all gotta go!
