We have been officially closed since March 18th due to the Coronavirus outbreak. This has been a long hard road which we have all been in together. We are ready to get back to work to help get you back and keep you on time. Starting Tuesday, May 12th, we will begin to operate with curbside pick-up and drop-off as well as receiving and sending packages. Please note for the safety of your timepiece we WILL NOT SHIP CLOCKS. As of June 23rd our hours of operation will be:
Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Saturday: 10am to 3pm
Please note the City of Portland has closed Exchange Street potentially through November 1st to vehicular traffic. We apologize for any and all inconveniences.
- Curbside Pick-Up
- Prepay for your new purchase or repair online or over the phone; advise us if someone other then yourself will be picking up your repair. Please allow 12 hours for payments to process prior to arriving for pick-up.
- Call us when you are on the sidewalk in front of Swiss Time
- Show us your photo ID through the door. It must match the name on the repair ticket or you must be authorized to pick-up the repair in advance.
- Please wear your mask and step back from the door to allow for proper 6 foot social distancing. We will place your repair or new purchase on the tables located on the sidewalk.
- Curbside Drop-Off
- Prior to arrival please complete a Watch Repair Form to accompany your timepiece. If you need your watch sized to your wrist please use our Wrist Sizing Chart provided by Tissot Watch. If you do not have access to a printer they will be available on the small table in the doorway of Swiss Time.
- Place your timepiece and completed forms in a ziplock bag available on the small table in the doorway. If you have a clock place the completed form under the clock on the table (pendulum and weights must accompany your clock in order for us to complete a proper diagnosis).
- Knock on the door or call us. Please wear your mask and move away from the door onto the side walk to allow for proper 6 foot social distancing.
- Once you are on the sidewalk we will exit the shop and collect your timepiece and all completed forms. For the safety of your timepiece please make sure we have picked up your repair prior to leaving.
- Within 3 to 5 days a repair order will be generated and you will receive an e-mailed copy, if e-mail is provided. If estimate fees are required we will call to collect them over the phone or you can pay the estimate fee on our website. Please note WE WILL CALL YOU with information as soon as we have had a chance to look at your watch or your repairs are complete. Due to our new safety regulations repairs are taking longer than before. We appreciate your patience and patronage. Please note no one will be working on any timepiece for at least 4 days after drop off.
- There will be no on the spot repairs completed no matter how small the job. Repair times will be significantly longer from here forward as we are operating on reduced hours and many parts supply houses and watch companies are still closed and are not shipping.
At this time we are following the recommended guidelines set up by the CDC to keep our families, staff and our customers safe. We are abiding by these precautions and hope that you are loyal customers will also abide by them.

Please bear with us during these challenging times. We are doing everything we can to be safe so we can all stay healthy. We are all in this together stay safe, stay strong.
Lastly, but most importantly, we would like to take a moment to Thank Everyone for their efforts to stay at home during these challenging times. We would especially like to Thank all the Health Care Professionals and all the Essential Workers who are keeping us safe and fed thus allowing us to stay at home to curb the spread of this virus. Stay Strong, Stay Brave, and Stay Safe.
