This is the place to go for engraving. After numerous inquiries and visits to other places, I visited Arc. I was trying to match a very specific font I had seen in a film. I had an ok image I had taken from my television and asked Sam to find the exact font. After finding something very close, Sam tweaked the details on his computer until it looked perfect. Then he performed the engraving. Im very impressed with the high-quality, attention to detail work that I received. Ill be back.

A quick, professional, informative, and friendly experience. I was able to get in right away and they fixed my watch up nicely, including a pressure test to make sure it was watertight; they even set the time and date and some of the basic stuff like chimes for me. I will go back the next time my watch needs a new battery or a repair and I highly recommend them.
