A.j. Watch & Clock Shoppe

Trends come and trends go, but style stays. At least that’s how the saying goes. But only a few accessories are as timeless as they are practical. Amongst those, watches are an all-time favourite. Despite the advance of technologies and the omnipresence of time around you –displayed on your computer, on your phone, on the oven, in buses and subway cars – watches are still irreplaceable style accessories, and very practical ones at that.

To properly care for or repair your favourite fashion accessory, you won't find a better suited business than A.J. Watch & Clock Shoppe, a Whitby-based watch and clock repair workshop. Whether you own a Patek Philippe or a Timex, John and his wife, who own and operate the shop, have both the tools and the expertise you need to give your watch a new breath of life.

"I was trained as a watchmaker in Switzerland," John says, "which is pretty much the best place in the world to study watch and clock making." The world's piggybank indeed enjoys a sterling reputation as a leader when it comes to timepieces, being home to some of the most celebrated brands in the industry and having churned out the best watchmakers in history.
