Running a luxury watch repair shop in Midtown Manhattan is – to be sure – an interesting job. The watches themselves, whether it’s a vintage Rolex or a relatively new TAG Heuer is fascinating enough. Each watch is a marvel of “modern” engineering, and each has a storied history. Probably the most common brand that we see and repair is, of course, Rolex. We’ve established a reputation as the top-rated Rolex watch repair shop in Manhattan. But we don’t just repair Rolex. We repair a cornucopia of brands from Rolex to TAG Heuer, from Breitling to Hamilton, from Tissot to Mido. Each brand is unique, and Ron Gordon is an expert at the repair of this cornucopia of luxury watch types.
Being known as the best luxury watch repair shop in New York City brings in many customers. And, because we often sell watches, we have many different offerings and people. New York City, after all, isn’t just the capital of luxury watches. It’s the capital of fashion, of TV, of Media. Not surprisingly, Ron has seen many “famous” people come into his shop. We asked Ron to give us a (partial) list from memory of some of the famous New York City residents and stars who have come into the shop. 
Here’s the quote direct from Ron:
“Jeremy Irons came into the watch shop in 1984 and wanted to buy a vintage Hamilton, He tried to give me a check for the watch. I told him that I don’t accept checks. He said don’t you know who I am? I am starring in a play on Broadway, “The Real Thing,” co-starring Glenn Close. I said I did not know who he was, and he had to pay cash. (He paid cash).
