I mentioned to a friend I was looking for a ring for my wife and he highly recommended Jeff and IJL. From a quick introduction I felt extremely comfortable with the expertise of Jeff and the products he had to offer. We discussed my ideas and thoughts and shortly after we narrowed things down. A couple days later Jeff had my wife and I back to IJL in which we finalized our choice. Thank you Jeff for your professionalism and fantastic customer service. I have and will continue to direct friends to you and IJL

My husband went into IJL to purchase a bracelet for me as a gift and met Janelle with whom he was very impressed with. So, when I decided I wanted to purchase a ring for myself to mark a special occasion we went to see Janelle. Very impressed with her level of customer service and attention to detail. We will definitely be back to make further purchases. Thanks IJL.

I’ve been coming to IJL for years now, and every experience has been excellent. Jeff is an outstanding salesperson — knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely passionate about watches. The level of service, attention to detail, and professionalism keep me coming back. Highly recommend for anyone who appreciates fine timepieces.

I recently visited the beautiful IJL showroom and had an incredible experience from start to finish. I purchased a Tudor Black Bay 58 this weekend, and I was blown away by Sunny’s charisma, professionalism, and depth of knowledge. She made the entire process feel personal, exciting, and extremely comfortable — truly world-class service.
The rest of the staff were just as welcoming and passionate about their craft. My wife, who was never really into watches before, is now officially hooked and already has her eye on a Breitling for our next visit.
I can’t say enough good things about the team, the knowledge, and the products they offer. We’ll absolutely be back.
See you soon, IJL!

I purchased multiple Swatch watches from IJL to give as gifts, and had a very positive experience with Sophia’s assistance. She is clearly a watch enthusiast that is well-versed in all levels of the wristwatch market, and was happy to walk me through the warranty and maintenance process specific to Swatch. I didn’t know that I could go to any Swatch corporate boutique worldwide for a FREE battery change! IJL even offered to gift wrap the watches free of charge, which was the icing on the cake. Highly recommend!
