Our business began in a little town in Romania (in Europe) with my great grandfather running a small watch and clock repair shop in a small room out of his small home. His knowledge and skills were passed on to my grandfather, Trifon Irimescu who continued the great trade and worked his entire life as a watchmaker. My father was brought up learning this trade as a young child. Knowing how to fully repair wathes by the time he was just eight years old prompted my father to leave school after 7th grade (for those times it was normal for a young man to help earn money for his household). From that time on my father and grandfather worked together at their own shop and later each had their own shops in Romania before coming to the US.
In 1987 we came to the United States where my grandfather retired from full time watch repairing (but continued working on watch and clock projects until his dying days). Shortly after our arrival to the United States (1989 to be exact) my father opened his very own shop under the name of Paul's Watch & Clock Repair in Sacramento California. He has since relocated from the first location on Arden Way to our present location at 2941 Fulton Ave Suite A in Sacramento California.
I now work together with my father full time and have done so for about four years even though I have learned and worked with him on and off while growing up but never had the patience to do this type of work as a full time job untill my love for watches and desire to continue in my fathers footsteps could not keep me away any longer.
