Vintage stock and the Dublin bench

Powerscourt Townhouse Centre · Dublin 2

A vintage and pre-loved watch shop in the city centre

Watch Empire sits on the second floor of the Powerscourt Townhouse Centre, 59 William Street South, Dublin 2, D02 HV00. If you are looking for vintage or pre-loved watches in Dublin, this is the room. We used to be Kish Jewellers. Regulars still use that name.

The stock is pre-loved and vintage: Omega Seamasters, Cartier Tanks and Santos, the odd Rolex or Tudor, Jaeger-LeCoultre when we have one. If you want a watch you can try on, start with the shop. Monday to Saturday, 11:00 to 18:00.

We do not run a cart. Enquire, call 01 679 9107, or walk up from Grafton Street. Battery replacement and strap replacement are the only bench jobs we can take. Everything else is on a long waiting list; we cannot look at a piece for an estimate.

Watch Empire Experiences

I cannot thank the team…

I cannot thank Graham and the team at Watch Empire enough. The customer service they offered was exemplary. I felt completely at ease and I look forward to more purchases in future with them. Thanks.

Blown away by the craftsmanship

I used Watch Empire to service my father's vintage Seamaster. The movement was worn and tired. What came back was beyond expectation. Blown away by the craftsmanship.

Rob G.

Amazing experience

Amazing experience with Watch Empire. The product sent was exactly as expected and the perfect gift. Brilliant customer service and speedy delivery with a call to confirm the delivery date.

Amelia A.

Highly Recommend

Brought a vintage Cellini in for a new strap. The staff are incredibly friendly and helpful and helped me get exactly what I wanted. Very professional and knowledgeable.

Battery and straps in Dublin 2

We can replace a battery or a strap on this floor. Other bench work is on a long waiting list. We cannot take pieces in to look at them.

What we can do

Same bench, same stairs, since 2012

We opened in Dublin as Kish Jewellers and still sit on the second floor of Powerscourt. Vintage watches on the trays, a watchmaker on the same floor, and a number that a person answers. That is the shop. The rest is people climbing the stairs from Grafton Street.

Frequently Asked Questions

Second floor of the Powerscourt Townhouse Centre, 59 William Street South, Dublin 2, D02 HV00. A minute from Grafton Street. Lift or stairs. Open Monday to Saturday, 11:00 to 18:00. If Maps still says Kish Jewellers, that is the old name on the same door.

Yes. Tibor opens each piece before it goes on the tray: movement, case, dial and serials. You get that in writing for 12 months.

Only battery replacement and strap replacement. We are too busy to take other repairs, even to look at a piece for an estimate. There is a long waiting list.

That is the point of a city-centre shop. Call 01 679 9107 if you want a specific piece on the pad, or walk in and try what is on the trays.

We can send a watch by insured, tracked courier if you have already spoken to us. Most buyers still prefer to collect from Powerscourt.
