Our careful approach ensures perfect results on even the most delicate surfaces.
Watch Engraving by Expert Watchmakers
With our watch servicing expertise and certified watchmakers on staff, we offer professional timepiece engraving that other shops simply can't match. We understand watch construction, case materials, and the critical importance of proper sealing. This knowledge allows us to personalize your watch while preserving its function, value, and manufacturer warranties where applicable.
Watch Case Back Engraving - Commemorate special occasions with professional caseback engraving. This hidden personalization makes watches truly unique - visible only when the watch is removed, creating an intimate connection between the wearer and the sentiment. We engrave retirement dates, service milestones, championship victories, or heartfelt messages, then expertly reseal cases to factory specifications.
High-End Timepiece Engraving - Trust your premium timepieces to watchmakers who truly understand luxury brands. We've engraved countless Rolex, Omega, TAG Heuer, and other high-value watches, always using techniques that preserve value and maintain manufacturer standards. Our precision work and proper reassembly ensure your luxury watch functions perfectly for generations.

Whether you need one championship trophy or fifty employee recognition awards, we deliver quality results on schedule.
Business Gifts and Executive Items - Make lasting impressions with personalized corporate gifts. We engrave business card holders, pen sets, desk clocks, paperweights, and other executive accessories with company logos, recipient names, or commemorative messages. These thoughtful touches transform standard corporate gifts into memorable keepsakes that clients and employees will actually use and appreciate.
Memorable Personalization
Animal Safety Tags - Keep your furry family members safe with clearly engraved pet ID tags. We use durable materials like stainless steel and brass, engraving pet names, your phone number, and address with easy-to-read lettering that won't fade over time. Most pet tags are completed same-day or next-day, ensuring your pet is never without proper identification.
Men's Accessories and Gifts - Create memorable groomsmen gifts or Father's Day presents with custom engraved men's accessories. Popular items include stainless steel flasks (personalized with names or wedding dates), money clips (with initials or brief messages), and keychains (featuring coordinates or special dates). These classic items become treasured keepsakes when thoughtfully personalized.
Jewelry Boxes, Compacts, and Perfume Bottles - Create beautiful keepsakes with engraving on women's accessories and vanity items. From vintage-inspired compacts to modern jewelry organizers, we add personalization that makes gifts truly special. Popular for bridal parties, milestone birthdays, or "just because" gifts, our engraved ladies' items combine elegance with sentiment.

Common Engraving Questions Answered
How long does engraving take?
Standard engraving projects take 3-5 business days from drop-off to completion, though simpler work may be ready sooner. This timeframe allows proper setup, careful execution, and thorough quality inspection. Rush service may be available for time-sensitive gifts or urgent corporate needs - call us at (505) 855-9191 to discuss your specific timeline and check availability for expedited processing.
Do you engrave items I didn't purchase from your store?
Definitely! The majority of our engraving work is actually performed on items customers bring from elsewhere. We accept family heirlooms, online purchases, gifts, vintage finds - essentially any item suitable for engraving. Our jewelry expertise means we can confidently accept valuable and delicate pieces that standalone engraving shops often refuse, providing professional service regardless of where you obtained your item.
Can I choose my engraving font?
We offer an extensive selection of fonts including classic serif styles, modern sans-serif lettering, elegant cursive scripts, traditional block text, and decorative specialty fonts. When you visit our Coronado Center showroom, we'll show you font samples and help you select styles that complement your item and match your vision. We can also match specific fonts you provide or recreate particular typefaces when you have something specific in mind. Letter size and style selection considers both aesthetics and practicality - some fonts are more legible at small sizes, while others shine in larger applications.
Is engraving permanent? Can it be removed or corrected?
Engraving creates permanent marks that cannot simply be removed, making accuracy critical. We prevent mistakes through multiple verification steps: you provide text in writing, we confirm every detail verbally, you review a proof or mockup when appropriate, and we verify once more before engraving. This systematic approach has resulted in an excellent accuracy record over our years serving Albuquerque. Should the extremely unlikely happen and we make an error, we'll take responsibility and work toward a fair resolution.
How much text can you fit on my item?
Text capacity depends on your item's size, the surface area available, and your preferred letter size. Generally, wedding bands accommodate 15-30 characters comfortably (about 2-3 short copyright or initials plus a date), watch case backs handle 30-50 characters (2-3 lines of text), and larger items like flasks or plaques can fit considerably more. We'll assess your specific item during consultation and recommend appropriate text length for optimal legibility and appearance. Remember, sometimes less is more - concise, meaningful text often read more creates more elegant results than cramming maximum characters into available space.
