Our Story

Over a Century of Quality

In 1871, Solomon Joseph opened our first store in downtown Des Moines. He quickly gained a reputation as a quality craftsman and a meticulous timekeeper.

Over the years, we have seen many trends and styles, but have never lost sight of our dedication to customer service and honest work.

Our customers say it best

I can’t speak highly enough about the staff at Josephs. I’ve purchased 2 watches here, and plan on coming back for more. They are extremely knowledgeable, and a pleasure to work with. The selection here is also second to none in the entire state.
