  The 1916 Company delivered a bespoke, elevated and highly personal experience when buying my first Rolex. Their showroom? Sophisticated. Their staff? Attentive. The whole process, from start to finish was better than I could have ever expected. I worked exclusively with Eddie Colon who was an absolute rockstar. He was thoroughly prepared for my visit, understood my goals and was able to provide an experience that would be tough to replicate elsewhere. I would happily refer anyone who is looking for a luxury time piece to contact The 1916 Company and I look forward to working with them for another watch very soon.

  My experience purchasing my first Rolex at The 1916 Company was exceptional from beginning to end. I first met Ian a few months ago, and he immediately made the process feel comfortable, personal, and meaningful. He showed me a wide range of pieces, educated me on the brand and the buying process, and took the time to answer every question thoughtfully. What stood out most was how genuinely interested he was in getting to know me—my family, my business, and the inspiration behind the purchase. I shared that the watch was meant to commemorate my father’s success in our business and to celebrate him, and Ian truly understood the significance of that moment. Although I didn’t receive a watch on my first visit, he stayed in touch and checked in periodically, which meant a great deal. When I finally received the call, it was an unforgettable milestone. Ian was off the day of pickup, but he thoughtfully set me up with Reuven to make sure everything went smoothly. I ran a bit late that day, and Reuven immediately reassured me that it was no problem at all. He was just as spectacular—taking generous time to walk me through the ins and outs of setting and caring for the Rolex, ensuring I felt completely confident with it. He also beautifully packaged the watch as a gift for my father, which made the moment even more special. It was truly one of the best retail experiences I’ve ever had. I’m incredibly grateful to Ian, Reuven, and The 1916 Company for making such an important milestone so memorable. I will be purchasing additional time pieces from them soon!

  I recently purchased multiple watches from Alex at 1916 Company and the entire experience was first class from start to finish. Communication was clear, professional, and transparent throughout the process. Tracking was provided promptly and everything arrived exactly as described. The watches were in beautiful condition and packaged securely. You can tell they take pride in their inventory and customer service. I would confidently purchase from him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a seamless, professional buying experience.

  I had an outstanding experience working with Eddie Colon at The 1916 Company. From start to finish, Eddie was professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about watches. He took the time to answer all of my questions, explain the details of different models, and made sure I felt confident in my decision without ever feeling pressured. You can tell he cares about building long-term relationships, not just making a sale. The entire process was smooth, transparent, and enjoyable. If you’re looking for a knowledgeable watch specialist, I highly recommend Eddie at The 1916 Company. I look forward to working with him again in the future.

  I recently sent a family member's Rolex in for service. It's important to us and will be passed down so we were naturally a little nervous even though it was routine service. Rich T. was our service representative and he couldn't have been any better throughout the process. The watch came back perfect which made us extremely happy. Rich even helped me source a missing link for my own vintage watch in the interim...AMAZING! During our visits, while Rich T. was working his magic, we were treated so nice by the entire Govberg staff, especially Natalie G. who was kind enough to show us some really beautiful pieces that we were eager to try on. Thank you, as always, to the fine folks at Govberg for such professional and courteous service. It's an experience every time and that's why we love it there so much!
