“Your watch had open heart surgery; it’s going to have a few scars!”

To the client who brought in a 40-year-old completely rusted Cartier watch for service. There was no fixing the movement, so we replaced it with a new one.

He talked to Rick Hayes, Wilkerson president, and took his time before making a final decision. He’d heard Wilkerson knew their way around a going out of business sale. But, he says, “he didn’t realize how good it was going to be.” Sales goals were “ambitious,” but even Matthews was pleasantly surprised. “It looks like we’re going to double that.”
