Our Story
A Montreal workshop, three generations strong.
OTA Watchmaker & Jewellers opened its doors on Sainte-Catherine in 1961. What began as a single watchmaker's bench is today a small, dedicated atelier — quietly trusted by Montrealers for the pieces that matter most.
The craft
Honest work, done by people who love it.
Our workshop is small by design. Every watch and every piece of jewellery is handled personally, from the first inspection to the final polish. We give honest assessments, clear estimates, and we stand behind every repair we do.
Some pieces come in for a quick battery change. Others arrive in pieces, in envelopes, with a note: "this was my mother's". Both deserve the same care, the same patience, the same eye for detail. That, more than anything, is what we have tried to do for over six decades.
