A few weeks ago I was in the market to purchase a watch as an engagement gift for my son in law and I was told to only go to Boris from Motion in Time by a few friends of mine. They are watch enthusiasts, unlike me, and knew that since I was spending a hefty amount of money ($30k+) on a watch I should see the best.
After reading a few different reviews online I was hesitant to contact the so called ""IT STORE"" for watches. I read a number of reviews online and although they were mostly good I did not feel 100% confident in my friends referral. I went to Yelp and read my final review from ""Nathan A."" who said that he would not recommend Motion in Time to anyone.
I gave the store the benefit of the doubt and gave it a shot. I came to Midtown to see Boris and was greeted like a gentleman. I do not know if it because he knew who sent me or not, but I quickly had a good feeling about him and his store. After about an hour of him literally teaching me about all there is to know about watches and the market for watches, he helped me decide on THE watch for my future son in law. It was a stunning Patek Philippe that was apparently impossible to get anywhere. He explained that Patek was having a price increase in about a month and that it is a solid purchase. I took his advise and made the purchase.
After all was said and done, I asked him about the mixed reviews that I read online and he simply explained that it is ""impossible to make everyone happy."" And though it is unfortunate that many of his clients are not computer savvy or do not care for online reviews I told him that I would let the public know of my unbelievable experience at his store.
I think that Boris and his family at Motion in Time, are experts in the field of watches. Not only would I recommend them to anyone that is looking to purchase a fine timepiece, but I would guarantee that they will probably have what others wouldn't and would give the best possible price they can to close the deal. They definitely made a fine impression on me.
To top off this wonderful experience, I called a few other watch dealers after making the purchase to see if Boris was 100% honest with me and they ALL told me that the watch that I purchased is back ordered for months and that no one in there right minds would sell it at a discount.
Boris, It was a pleasure working with you and my son in law loved his watch. He told me that one word came to mind when he opened the box - PERFECT.
Motion in Time, Inc. - A+++++ in my book.
