Comment: I had visited Kerns a while back to learn about the Rolex brand. My appointment was with Laura. She explained some of the history to me, was patient with my questions, and let me try on a number of watches. Overall, it was a very positive experience.Given the current Rolex situation, there wasnt anything for me to purchase, but Laura encouraged me to visit every once in a while to see if they get any inventory.A little while later, I dropped in for another visit to Laura and lo and behold, I was lucky enough that there was a Rolex Datejust available! I tried it on, fell in love, and was able to acquire my first Rolex! As happy as I was, I felt Laura was just as excited for me and I felt truly cared for as a customer. Thank you for such a great watch buying experience!

Comment: I am extremely happy with the service that I received from both Eric and Jay. They treated my wife and I like old customers even though we were new. I eventually bought a 36m SG Rolex Explorer for my wife, she has worn the watch daily the past several months and is extremely happy with the entire experience. She is now looking to purchasing new diamond earrings. This was the best experience I ever had in a jewelry store.

Comment: This review is for Marie and Kerns on site watch servicing team! I had recently got a Zenith Chronomaster Sport Yoshida LE from Japan. I have alway resized my bracelets with no problem, but was unaware of the double screws the Zenith bracelet uses. You really need proper tooling to change adjust without scratching the bracelet, so I called the local ADs in the area. Apparently they dont have staff that can do bracelet changes on the weekends (or at least not for those who did not buy the zenith from them, I couldnt even get a referral to someone who might be able to do it on a weekend). I tried Gliem and while the first gentleman was helpful, the second person I had was extremely unhelpful and said Id need to leave it over night for a bracelet change. Finally, I remembered Kerns (dont know why they didnt pop in mind as my first go to, but they definitely will now!). I was able to get a 30 min appointment the same day. Even though they dont sell Zenith, they still sized my bracelet without charge. Marie stayed with me the whole time and we had a great chat about watches, Rolex, the crazy grey market prices, etc. Throughout the 20 min I waited, she knew I wasnt in there to buy but never treated me like a lesser client. Every time I have come to Kerns I have been treated like a person, a valued customer, with sincerity even if it was just for repair work. I hope to one day pop in and see a watch I was hunting available just so I can do business with Kerns!

Comment: I was looking to add a 3rd Rolex to my collection (but my 1st Rolex from Kerns) and saw that Kerns was an AD in the area so after a few days of research, I decided to pop in without appointment. If you were ever thinking of stopping by, I would highly recommend scheduling an appointment with Maura ahead of time. She is so cool and is the type of enthusiast that you could just talk to about watches all day long. She is very knowledgeable in Rolex and Tudor, gives valuable input, and doesn’t try to pressure you into buying something you don’t want. She also gave me the rundown about the history of the store and owners and all the services and products they had to offer, which was great.Long story short, the day I visited, Kerns ended up having inventory of a few pieces and I ended up purchasing a 36mm white dial datejust since I was in the market for something on the dressier side to compliment a sub and gmt master ii that I had in my collection. A lot of other positives with Kerns is that they have a bunch of other Rolex sports models for display that you can try on if you were ever wondering how they looked and felt in person. On top of that, they have a trustworthy watchmaker in house. They also had Tudor and Patek if you were interested in those brands.Overall, I am for sure going back sometime to buy more pieces from them in the future and hope to make them one of my lifelong go to places for watches.

Comment: My wife and I visited Kerns 3 months ago to try on watches for a push present. Her eye had been fixated on a mixed metal datejust and we were hoping to try on something of similar size to make sure thats what she really wanted. This is easier said than done these days with inventory being so limited and we knew we were in for a long journey. We met with Eric, and he chatted with us about our style, what we were looking for and why we wanted that particular watch. To our surprise, not only was she able to try on a datejust 36 for size, Eric happened to have the exact configuration in stock and we were able to take it home on the spot! For anyone who has been searching for a sport Rolex these last few years, you understand just how rare this really is. My wife has worn the watch every single day ever since and she could not be happier. This was our first purchase with Eric & Kerns; I hope the first of many. Thank you for taking the time to treat a brand new customer as if wed known you for years -- truly a one of a kind business.

Comment: My husband always talked about how good the store is ever since he took his watch for service. Since we’ve been to many high end stores in many countries. I thought it’s pretty much the typical high level services. Last Tuesday, my husband decided to pull the trigger on his first ever Patek Philippe. He sees that is such an important event and a milestone of his life. He said we have to witness this moment together. The location for our event was held at Kern’s Fine Jeweler.When we get to the front door. A lady with a nice smile greeted and checked us in. Then she guide us to the Patek Philippe section which is at the rear part of the store. Along the way, we were also greeted by multiple sales associates. Eric is our salesperson which happened to be one of the owner. He took his time showing and helping my husband trying different models. On the other hand, my husband asked me to try one of their ladies model. The watch is really nice. However, I wanted something more simple. Eric took his time trying to figure out what my taste and preference is. He then took out a few others for me to try. Finally, the last watch worked out perfectly. It’s the best watch I’ve ever had. I truly appreciate his honesty due to the fact that those watches he recommended cost about 4 times less than the one we originally went for. He put customer’s need for his top priority. That quickly earn our trust, and we’ll make sure his honesty will get paid off in the near future. Besides Eric, I have to give a shout out to Jay. He took his time helping me sizing the bracelet until the ultimate comfort has reached.The atmosphere they have created makes you feel they’re there to help instead of selling. All staffs are super nice! Selections are great. Their services are so personalized which exceeds many other high end stores. In my opinion, they are well beyond a 5 stars rating.

Comment: An update to my previous review. I decided to go back before the holiday shopping season starts in order to take advantage of their already low inventory. Again, greeted by every single associates from the front door to the back of the store. Inventory was still very low. However, I was able to get my first ever Patek Philippe I have been eyeing during my last two visits. My sales associate was Eric which is also one of the owner. He took his time showing, explaining, and helping me trying different models. At the end I stick with what I was eyeing for, which is the 5524R Travel Time. He thoroughly explains how to adjust the multiple functions and what to watch out for in order to maintain its optimum conditions.Their was another watch I was eyeing for my wife. Unfortunately, it didnt work for her. Eric again took his time figuring what my wifes taste and style. Finally she got a watch she really likes. It was one of the best gift she ever received according to her. Not to mention those watches he suggested cost four times less than the one we were originated for. That shows he concerns what his customers need rather than up selling. Most importantly, he makes sure that my wife will leave his store with a big smile.Kerns Jewelers is a genuine business based on past my experiences. They are family owned, you get superior services from the owners and their loyal employees. Before I pulled the trigger for my first purchase. I wanted to make sure that Josette who helped me on my first two visits is working on that day, so shell get her commission. She kindly appreciate that and said it is not necessary as they work as a team like a family. That shows how good they have been treated by their company. The personalized services from them is second to none. They know you by name after a couple visits and they remember your taste and preference, understanding your budget etc. The owner personally replied to all the good and bad reviews. I dont think any bad or my good reviews will make any difference of their businesses at all cause their business obviously speaks for itself. That not only shows how much efforts the owner willing to spent on replies. Most importantly, he cares their customers experiences. They went through ups and downs in the past seven decades. That should tell you they must be doing something right. Also the owner will always be there because its a family business. Employees can quit but the owner cant.Finally, besides the superior services. What I like about them is they give back to the local community. I found out from my kids school newsletter that they regularly donate to the local school district. All of the above clearly stating that they truly valued their employees, customers, and community. I dont know what not to love about them.

Even when I would visit just to browse, they are always so helpful and never make it seem like I’m wasting their time.My wife and I moved to Seattle late last year and it’s hard to find a local watch AD with the same level of service as Kern’s.

Comment: Best jewelry store in the Bay Area hands down. I have been to dozens of stores all over the country and Kerns is the only one that doesn’t apply any pressure to buy or shenanigans about buying your way onto a priority list. Thank you Marie and Jay for sharing your knowledge and always taking your time - even on days when I am explicitly “just looking”

Comment: If you need the best from the best, Kerns is your only option. I have been a customer of Erics for over 20 years. He is the best purveyor of fine jewelry and timepieces that I have found anywhere in the world. Selection, service, knowledge and professionalism are all hallmarks of this family owned business. It is so rare to have this level of trust and confidence in a retail establishment when making a significant purchase. You can trust Kerns.

Comment: Kerns team member are all very friendly and professional. Maura and Laura helped me with my two -tone 36 datejust. My watch was running slow, and even though I didnt purchase the watch from Kerns, she was really helpful with assisting me process the Rolex warranty and having it sent to the Rolex service center.About a week later, I received an email follow up from Jim S from Kerns explaining as to when I can expect my watch back, it was nice.As with most of the businesses around Burlingame Ave, they have Covid safety procedure in place, and I never feel uncomfortable while shopping there.I will be sure to go to Kerns first the next time Im thinking of adding to my collection

Comment: I found a new favorite place to go when I’m in Burlingame. I bought my first Rolex here and the experience was well worth it. Their staff was friendly and personable. I felt welcomed and brought my daughter to experience what it’s like to be treated like a good friend. I wanted the experience to go along with the purchase and they checked every box for me. They have a cool selection of Patek Philippe as well as Panerai.
