Fine Swiss Watch Repair is a one-watchmaker independent shop on Chicago's Jewelers Row. Owner Kent Mikolite is an AWCI Certified Master Watchmaker, one of only two in Chicago, with more than 42 years of experience. He trained at the Joseph Bulova School of Watchmaking and earned a Certified Rolex Watchmaker technical certificate in 1989. Chicago Magazine recognized the shop for watch repair in its 2015 city awards.

Servicing your watch here. All work is done in house: full movement overhauls, ultrasonic cleaning, disassembly and repair, case and band refinishing, and restoration of vintage and modern luxury watches. Kent works on Rolex, Omega, Patek Philippe, Vacheron Constantin, A. Lange & Söhne, Girard-Perregaux and other Swiss brands. No brand lists the shop as an authorized service center, so for a watch still under factory warranty, start with the brand.

Visiting. 17 N Wabash Ave, Suite 490, Chicago. Bring the watch in person; the shop does not mention mail-in. (312) 658-0602.
