Why W. Kodak Jewelers Is Hoboken’s Best-Kept Secret

July 9th, 2025

(And Why It Won’t Stay a Secret for Long)

Let’s face it—Hoboken has plenty of charm. From stunning skyline views to brunch spots you’ll wait 45 minutes for without blinking, this little city packs a big punch. But nestled on the quieter side of Hudson Street is something you might not expect: a luxury jewelry and watch destination that feels more Madison Avenue than Mile Square.

We’re talking about W. Kodak Jewelers—a second-generation family business and arguably one of Hoboken’s best-kept secrets. But fair warning: after reading this, it may not stay that way.

A Jewel Box of Luxury Brands

W. Kodak Jewelers isn’t your average neighborhood jeweler. Step inside and you’ll find a curated collection of the world’s most iconic brands, each hand-selected for craftsmanship, design, and legacy.

We’re proud authorized retailers of:

  • Cartier – Because nothing says “I’ve arrived” like a Tank on your wrist.

  • Omega – Worn by astronauts and 007, Omega is the watch for those who dream big and dress sharp.

  • TAG Heuer – Precision, adrenaline, and style—all in one chronograph.

  • IWC Schaffhausen – Swiss-made engineering meets understated luxury.

  • Breitling – Aviation-inspired watches that are bold, durable, and seriously cool.

  • Baume & Mercier – Elegant, timeless, and perfect for marking life’s biggest milestones.

Oh—and did we mention we carry certified pre-owned timepieces too? From Rolex to rare finds, our pre-owned selection is authenticated, serviced, and often whispered about by collectors.

Not Just Shopping—An Experience

Walking into W. Kodak isn’t like walking into a big-box retailer. There's no stuffy attitude, no pressure, and absolutely no one following you around with a clipboard.

Instead, you’ll find:

  • A warm, beautifully designed showroom that feels both luxurious and inviting. (Think: espresso machine meets polished glass cases.)

  • Genuinely knowledgeable staff who won’t upsell you but will absolutely help you find the piece.

  • White-glove service—from complimentary jewelry cleaning and resizing to watch servicing and strap fitting.

  • A glass of champagne if you're celebrating—or even just pretending to. (We don’t judge.)

Services That Go Beyond the Sale

Sure, we love helping you pick the perfect diamond earrings or your first “big boy” watch. But we’re here for the long haul, too.

  • On-site jewelry repair with a trusted bench jeweler who’s basically part magician.

  • Watch servicing for both new and vintage timepieces—we’ll even keep your mechanicals ticking.

  • Appraisals and insurance documentation, done right here.

  • Custom jewelry design for those once-in-a-lifetime moments—or just because you’re fabulous.

Gifts That Actually Impress

Shopping for someone else? Whether it’s your partner, parent, sibling, or “situationship,” we’ve got you covered.

Our team specializes in gifts that say “I put thought into this” (even if you didn’t). From everyday diamond studs to a statement Cartier ring, we’ll make you look like a hero.

Bonus: Our packaging is so nice, people actually save it.

Convenient, Local, and Surprisingly Chill

We’re located right at 1123 Hudson Street, a stone’s throw from the waterfront. You don’t need to cross the river to shop luxury, and you don’t need to suit up to come in. (Athleisure is welcome, and yes—so are strollers.)

And hey—if you're local, you may have passed us a hundred times and never stepped in. Now’s the time.

The Verdict?

W. Kodak Jewelers is where uptown luxury meets downtown ease, all wrapped up in one Hoboken storefront.

Whether you're buying your first watch, upgrading your engagement ring, or just "browsing" (wink), we promise you’ll leave feeling like you discovered something special—because you did.
