Watch Engraving at Turbo Jewelers

A watch engraving turns a timepiece into a keepsake. Whether it is a gift, a milestone, a memorial, or a company award, a clean, well-placed engraving adds meaning without changing the watch you love. Turbo Jewelers offers engraving in Northridge, including laser engraving and hand engraving options depending on the piece and the design.

What We Can Engrave on a Watch

Engraving options depend on the watch construction and available space, but common locations include:

• Caseback engraving (names, dates, short messages)

• Buckle or clasp engraving

• Bracelet link or tag engraving (model dependent)

• Logo and crest engraving for business gifts and awards

If you are not sure what your watch can accept, bring it in and we will recommend the safest placement.

Types of Watch Engraving We Offer

Based on your watch material and your design goals, we can help with:

• Laser engraving

• Hand engraving

• Logo engraving

• Family crest and commemorative engraving

Ideas That Engrave Well

If you want something that looks good and stays readable:

• Initials and a date

• A short line (10 to 20 characters is often ideal)

• Coordinates

• A simple icon or symbol (when space allows)

A good rule is short and timeless. Longer messages often shrink too much to stay crisp.

Does Engraving Affect Water Resistance?

Engraving the outside of a caseback generally does not change water resistance by itself. The risk usually comes from opening the caseback or disturbing seals. If a watch needs to be opened for any reason, it is smart to have it properly resealed and verified for water resistance through the right service path, especially for swim or dive use. 

How the Process Works

1. Bring your watch in for a quick evaluation.

2. We confirm placement, font, size, and layout.

3. You approve the design before we engrave.

4. We engrave and clean up the finish.

Customers commonly mention same-day engraving depending on the job and schedule.

How Much Does Watch Engraving Cost?

Pricing depends on the material, placement, and complexity (simple initials vs. logo art). The fastest way to get an accurate number is to bring the watch in for a free estimate.
