Company Information
Owner, Jimmy Williams
To work with
the different and the unusual is Jimmy Williams' reasons for starting
his watch repair service. He started collecting old watches as a
"hobby" many years ago. Then he started tinkering with
them, interested in their make-up, etc. His curiosity led him to
complete an Associates Degree in Horology (the study of time) at
Mountain View Junior College.
After having
worked for many years as a shoe salesman, he decided to start work as
a clock repairman. After a while, however, he did not like working
with these large pieces, he wanted to work with the smaller pieces
because many people were not interested to work in this highly
specialized area. He, therefore, decided to do watch repairs. He
worked for 16 years at Service Merchandise until they eliminated that department.
With a
determination to have his own business, he opened his watch repair
service, called Jimmy's Watch Repair in a flea market. The business
grew and he needed more space. His business is presently located at
344 E. Beltline, Suite 117 in DeSoto.
Jimmy's
specialty is completely restoring old watches. He makes repairs on
all watches like cleaning, crystals, stems, crowns, batteries, etc.
His business also consist of repairing and making jewelry.
A Christian
family man, Jimmy believes in giving the best possible service at the
best possible price. When not repairing watches, he is working
diligently at Church where he holds numerous offices, including
Chairman of the Board of Trustees. He has also served as Vice
President of the Dallas Watchmakers Guild. |
