Prescott Watch and Clock

Specialties

Prescott Watch and Clock was created to fill the need for quality watch and clock repair in in the Quad City area. Most people who take their watches to jewelry stores or Fix-​it-​Fast locations don’t realize that their watch is being sent out to sweat shops around the country to be worked on by unskilled technicians that may take weeks or months to complete. Adding insult to injury the jewelry stores will mark up the repair cost 100% to 200% for doing basically nothing.

Clock repairs taken to jewelry stores are never repaired on-​site and are sent out to be worked on in someone’s garage or basement with the jeweler again pocketing a 100% to 200% markup for doing nothing but passing the work back and forth across his counter-​top.
