Chris is part of a dying breed, and he is a superb at his craft. Understand that he is one man and he takes on a great many tasks, therefore your timepiece repair may take many months. If you can accept that, you will receive some of the best service in the state at a reasonable price. As an aside, Chris may be the only person in Utah experienced and knowledgeable enough with Accutron timepieces to service them correctly and leave you with a 50 year old time watch that runs like new for years to come. Cannot recommend highly enough.

Id give this place 6 stars at this point. I have a Tag chronograph that always costs me 200-300 dollars every time I take it to OC Tanner. They take a look, say it needs to go to the factory, and the factory is pretty much a fixed price. I went in here, the owner looked, saw a screw out of place, fixed it, then replaced the battery in an old Omega Constellation. Total cost $26. I also ended up purchasing an old restored watch as well. This is the real old school deal.

This may be the finest level of service in Utah, in any business. I have several high end timepieces, and as others have noted OTC places any problem in an envelope to be ready "in several weeks." Not here. If possible, the issue will be addressed while you wait, at a cost 90% less than the retailers downtown. My last repair, requiring opening the back of a Panerai, was charged $18. I paid $40 and still felt like I had taken advantage of the store.

Just got back from this shop. I didnt want to take anything to an untrained department store clerk or a mall rat, so I went here. I needed to have a battery replaced and also a strap pin replaced on my Nixon. Chris replaced the battery on the spot and did a pressure test. They even had a wacko 23mm replacement pin for my band. Battery replacement has a 1yr warranty for lemon battery cells. I would definitely go back and give them my business.

Brought my treasured Omega Seamaster in here based on the high ratings online...they are richly deserved. Owner was prompt and thorough in evaluation of watch problem, went outside normal approach to resolve a part supply issue and charged a fair price. The location may not engender confidence but like a person its whats on the inside that matters....would gladly use again...

The service at Fankhauser is so great. Chris is very personable and really cares about doing a good job. Ive taken my watch to him twice and each time he has known exactly how to fix it and keeps the repair to an affordable rate. I wouldnt go anywhere else. Thank you! :)

I was delighted to find a small local watch fix-it shop. Chris seems very knowledgeable about watches of all ilks. All I needed was a new crystal, and I expected to leave the watch and fetch it --when??? next week? Instead he popped one right in while I waited.
