Watch Services

Philippe Medawar offers unparalleled watch services such as watch repair, watch maintenance and watch care. Those requiring repair services may bring their timepiece in for a repair diagnosis and free estimate. Clients who have their watch fully cleaned, oiled and adjusted are fortunate to be entered into the Watch Maintenance Program. Depending on the age, condition and type of watch, clients receive a notification when the timepiece is due for regular maintenance. This is a valuable service because watches that are not regularly maintained encounter performance issues and often incur expensive repairs as a result of neglect. Watch care is another valuable service offered to those wishing to protect their watch investment. Philippe Medawar provides all expert watchmaking services in a timely manner at his state-of-the-art Grand Rapids atelier.

"Thank you so much for making my ring look so beautiful and shiny. Thanks for always being so thoughtful."

—Jessica

"Had a fantastic first experience at Medawar's Fine Jewelers; Philippe took time and great care to restore a family heirloom ring. I was met with kindness and a detailed explanation of what it was going to take to restore and resize my ring. I was a bit nervous that my ring was not repairable, but Phillipe brought it back to life and his skill is impeccable! Although I had a somewhat inexpensive ring that required difficult repairs, I was happy to have received professional interactions throughout the entire process. I was also very impressed with the quick turn around time on sizing and repairing my ring, which needed to have new stones set into it....I highly recommend Phillippe and can't wait to visit again!"

"I want to thank you so much for fixing my watch. It is working and now I will never be late to class ☺ I really appreciate your kindness and for sharing all about your store and your passion for jewelry. I’m so glad I stopped in. I really wish I could just propose to myself, just to get one of your engagement rings! Thank you again for your quality work and kindness."

—Lydia

"Thanks for the clock repair…and the loaner! I think of your family every time I look at it!"

—Betsy

"Thank you so much for the kindness you bestowed on me! You need to know why this gesture meant so much to me, it’s likely more than you could imagine! When I entered your store last summer I was a mere three months out of an abusive relationship. Throughout this time I was abused emotionally, physically, and mentally.
When I walked in your store last summer I was in the throes of depression. It was a tumultuous time as well, for when one leaves an abusive relationship the abuse doesn’t end. I need you to understand it was difficult for me that day to be out. I wasn’t expecting kindness.
Your gesture not only allowed me to pass an heirloom down to my daughter, but I learned that genuine, kind people still exist in a world that had become to me cold and brutal. A simple thank you doesn’t adequately convey my appreciation, it is important to me that you understand the depths of my gratitude. Philippe, you restored my faith in human goodness. I walked in your store broken, overwhelmed, and discouraged. When I walked out, I left with the most precious gift of all; hope.
I want to thank you with all my heart, you were truly an angel. I’ve always believed in kindness for you never know the shoes a person walks in, and how such an act may affect them. I am proof. Thank you."
