Meet Ray
For over 27 years, Ray has lived inside the mechanics of fine watchmaking. He honed his craft in the United Arab Emirates, servicing some of the most demanding collections in the Gulf, before bringing his bench — and his patience — to Calgary.
All About Watches does three things: repairs and restores timepieces, sells watches, and builds custom watches from the ground up. Parts are sourced from around the world — from every known watch brand available — so a build or a repair is never limited by what's on the shelf.
Every timepiece treated as a small machine of consequence: disassembled, inspected under loupe, cleaned, lubricated and regulated by hand. No shortcuts, no guesswork — only the quiet discipline that a great watch deserves.

I had my watch repaired here and I'm extremely happy with the service. He did an excellent job and clearly knows his craft very well. He is honest, knowledgeable, and a true gentleman.

I just had 3 of my watches serviced by Ray and I can't recommend him enough. He was thorough in his work and more than reasonable on price point.
