Recommendation for watch repair?

I'm seeking a recommendation for someone who can repair the band on my watch. The band is a metal cuff that's attached to the watch by some kind of spring hinges (so you can open the cuff to get it on your wrist and then close it around your wrist).

One of the spring hinges has given up the ghost. My guess is that the best person to repair this would be someone who repairs the clockwork bits of watches. Can anyone recommend such a person? Or someone else in a different line of work (jewelry repair?) who'd be able to fix a problem like this?

(Someplace I can get to via the T or the bus would be preferable but not necessary.) Thanks!

There's a watch repair shop in Porter Square on the corner of Davenport and Mass Ave. (under the Tibetan shop, same block as Zing Pizza and Dunkin' Donuts).

Swiss Watchmaker on Church St. in Harvard Square. They are not the best at Customer Service, but they'll get the job done for sure.

Not in Davis but T-Accessible
