I took my watch to Peter on February 22, 2014 because the stem was broken. Peter noticed the crystal was scratched and needed to be replaced. I agreed and per the receipt I have, the work order was to repair and/or replace the crystal, stem, crown, and battery. My watched was not returned to me until June 11, 2015. During the almost 16 months Peter had my watch I stopped into his shop a few times to see how the work was progressing. Peter once explained he was having difficulty getting replacement parts. I understood his difficulty. Once he never mentioned my watch and only wanted to talk about a concert he had attended at Hershey Park. At last, at the urging of my husband and my daughter (who happens to be an attorney), on June 6, 2015 I again visited Peter at his shop. During this visit he was very arrogant and very rude. Peter told me unlike his previous customer, a man looking for a very expensive but out of production watch he wanted to purchase, I was not a regular customer. Peter said he had thousands of watches to repair and intimated fixing my watch was not a priority. After a lengthy look for my watch, Peter admitted he was unable to find it. He promised to call the following week with an update. Miraculously, not only by the end of the next week had he found my watch, but it was repaired. I am happy to have my watch back, but as reputable as Peter imagines himself to be, his arrogance and lack of customer care are reason enough to never use him again.
Description of Work: Peter replaced a broken stem and scratched crystal on my 14K Lucien Picard watch.

Description of Work: Peter serviced a Hamilton watch that my mother gave my father in 1958. He did a great job and was a wealth of information. He runs a one man shop, is open for public walk-ins 3 days a week, and is working on watches when he doesn't have customers. It was wonderful to meet someone who works at this art, and not just drop it off at a location that sends it out for service. Highly recommended!

Proprietor was very pleasant and knowledgeable, but the cost for cleaning the watch along with replacing the hands and crystal seemed high and there was still dust visible on the face of the watch when I picked it up. I would have gone back to have the situation addressed but the store has limited hours and is an hour's drive for me.

I always look forward to bringing Peter new work and chatting about watches.
Description of Work: Peter is a rare treasure - a Swiss trained master watch maker. He's as much an artist as a craftsman and takes deep pride in his work and reputation. I have dealt with him continually for 15 years and been invariably pleased with the results and his fees (which could be higher). He'll fabricate or track down obscure part. He is invariably candid on what can or cannot be done. He may seem to take a long time to return a piece. This reflects the volume of his work and his care in fixing and regulating the wide array of watches and small clocks he revives. Periodically his window will have a sign, "No new work until ...." Where else have you seen anything like that?

They provided very personalized service. They tried to seek out a solution that was readily available. It was a very good experience. They were very inexpensive. They stood behind their work. One repair had to be redone and they did it with no problem.
