Reliable Swiss FineTiming/Atelier Jewellers was founded by Gene Stern more than two decades ago. He had grown tired of his corporate transactional attorney and certified public accountant careers at the time. Gene founded Swiss FineTiming in order to express his love for timepieces and engage in a business that he loved doing (Swiss FineTiming, 2022). Gene once remarked, “I built a place to work where we are doing business. Not store clerks.” Gene’s enthusiasm for watchmaking is infectious. When not at the store, he loves spending time with Karen, his two daughters, and their Bull Terrier, Louis. Gene is also a vintage pilot watch repair enthusiast, collector of art, and auto enthusiast.
Reviews for Swiss Fine Timing point to a five-star experience. Many reviewers praised Ali Stein and Daniel, saying that they provided exceptional service. Few had the level of expertise and friendliness they did. Many said that they were able to find out-of-the-norm watches and that salespeople worked with them to create a good match with their tastes and needs. Crystal and Liz were additional reviewers that noted the impressive service and correct match. Some model observers said they enjoyed Ali and Mark’s conversation and service. Many said that SFT was the best retailer to completely ignore understand horology and prized watches. They also said they held no alignment with the cold behavior some noted at stores that try to pass as high-end. One reviewer was optimistic on the potential for SFT as she considered it as her show of the year. Few mentioned how “excitement” could arise from a discussion explaining to a previous sale how he had the ability to trust the present team more than their peers. All in all, it is an excellent firm where you will be sure to get an exciting selection, great opinion, and appreciate what you have gotten once you start using the good watch.
