Our Story & Legacy
Two decades of dedication to the art of horology and jewelry craftsmanship
A Passion for Precision Born in Mission
What began as a small bench in a garage has grown into the area's most trusted destination for horological excellence. Mission Watch & Jewelry Repair was founded on a simple principle: every timepiece and piece of jewelry deserves meticulous care and honest service.
Owner and master watchmaker David Chen discovered his love for mechanical movements during an apprenticeship in Geneva. Bringing that Swiss precision training back to the Kansas City area, he built a reputation for tackling the most challenging repairs that other shops wouldn't touch.
Today, our team includes four certified horologists and two GIA-trained gemologists, all sharing the same dedication to quality that has defined our studio from day one.
