Our Story
Jerry and Dawn Gull are the proud owners of Watch & Clock Junction of Johnston, Iowa, and the couple have been offering high-quality repairs and services to their community members since 1989. Jerry was originally inspired to open his own shop specializing in watches and clocks after attending Gem City College, where he received his formal training in watch and clock making. After gaining experience at an established clock shop in the area, Jerry set out on his own to build a name for himself through Watch & Clock Junction.

Jeffrey R Spidle
had this to say:
Sometimes, you just know when things are going in the right direction by the way the person your talking to tells you respectfully, but honestly, that the items you brought in, aren't worth what you thought they were. While still going above and beyond to see that your other concerns are taken care of. I was treated with respect, all questions answered. They even took the time to answer a few questions I had when I called back an hour after I left the shop.

I stop by Watch & Clock Junction about once a month to drop off or show off recent vintage watch purchases. I seem to constantly find rare vintage watches with unique issues requiring servicing and I've been yet to stump them. The entire team is always courteous, friendly, respectful, informative, and helpful. I purposely used the term "always" because its true. You can instantly tell the entire team shares the same passion for horology and watchmaking which is important when you're trusting them with very rare vintage watches to work on. They have well curated selection of newly released watches from brands you can trust and vintage watches that even the "watch nerd" community would approve of. The team has spent the time to learn my preferences in watch collecting and always has something in mind to show me a vintage watch or discuss watches they know I'd be interested in while I'm waiting on service or consultation. Regarding their watch servicing and repairs, they always attempt to seek the least expensive solution to repair your watch and always have a really good explanation and estimate of cost before recommending servicing or overhauling your watch. They even ask your preferences on polishing and replacement of original parts when servicing. This is not common practice. In short, they treat their customers like "watch family". Skip the mall and chain jewelry stores for your watch purchases and skip mailing out your watch for a 6 months wait for servicing and do your watch collecting business and servicing with the actual local watch experts!
