Savvas & Son Watch Services

General information

Who are Savvas & Son?

“Do you fix watches?”
“Do you sell watch batteries? “
“Do you know where I can find a new strap? “
“I’ve inherited an old clock; can you give it a service?”

When Savvas (a retail veteran with over 40 years experience) and his son Omeros (a Business Science graduate from UCT) opened up a small business in Sea Point selling watches and sunglasses in 2007, they never expected to hear these sorts of questions from their new customers. After some time however, it became difficult to ignore that these services were desperately needed in the area.

What started as a hobby replacing batteries and straps for a few of their loyal customers quickly grew and before they knew it a full-time watchmaker was required to carry out the full range of services their customers were demanding. Unwilling to wait (often up to several weeks!) for the manufacturer to repair their watches and reluctant to pay the large sums of money they were asking for, these customers turned to Savvas & Son for their efficient service and reasonable prices.

What we stand for…

Despite our growth, there’s one thing which hasn’t changed at Savvas & Son over the years. The unexpected entrance into the industry has secured a degree of humbleness at Savvas & Son and one can be assured of the same sense of innocent gratification and professional pride with every watch or clock repaired by our watchmakers.

From the very beginning, and despite the unfamiliar territory, Savvas & Son have prided themselves in offering the best service at the best prices. Our motto for business is simple: we stand for quality repairs and refurbishes at reasonable prices which are completed in a timely and professional manner.
