Carignan Watch Company was officially started in January 1996. However, long before that, owner Denis Carignan was repairing watches as a hobby. It all began when he found an old pocket watch while antiquing. He was amazed by the craftsmanship and became captivated by what is known as horology.

Over the past 30 years, his skill set and tooling and equipment has grown. Antique and vintage mechanical restoration is his specialty.
