Watch, clock and jewellery repairs, pre-owned luxury watches and fine jewellery, all from our independent family-run shop and workshop.
Our workshop is on the premises at 110 High Street, so most repairs are done right here rather than sent away.
Batteries, straps and bracelets, glasses, link removal and bracelet adjustments. We service many quartz watches on site, often within a few days, and we pressure-test water-resistant watches so you can trust them in the water again. Plenty of jobs are done while you wait.
New, pre-owned and bespoke pieces, from engagement and wedding rings to everyday silver. We also repair, resize and clean jewellery, and offer machine engraving on site.
We have repaired clocks here for generations, from mantel clocks to antique movements. Restoration is slow, careful work and some jobs take six to twelve months, so bring your clock in or call Mark for advice first.
Rolex, Omega, Breitling, TAG Heuer, Cartier, Longines, Tudor and Panerai among others, each one checked, serviced and guaranteed before it leaves the shop. We also buy luxury watches, gold and silver.
The business has stood for the same three things from the start: service, quality and care.
L Guess began as a small shop in Whitton in the 1940s. Leslie Guess had worked as a watchmaker during the war and, a few years later, set up on his own. His son Michael joined the trade straight from school, took over the Whitton shop and later opened a second branch in Littlehampton on the Sussex coast.
In 1983 Michael's apprentice, Lawrence, took over the running of the Whitton shop. He ran it for twenty years until 2003, when his own apprentice, Mark, finished his training and took over in turn. Mark still runs the shop and workshops today.
A few minutes' walk from Whitton station.
Get directions9am to 5pm on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Closed on Wednesday and Sunday.
Mark closes the shop for most school holidays, apart from the run-up to Christmas, when it's open right through to Christmas Eve. If you're making a special trip, call first.
Tell us about your watch, clock or piece of jewellery and we'll reply as soon as we can. For anything urgent, call the shop during opening hours.
