Swiss-certified watchmaker, Sean Paul Yoshinaga, established The Village Watchmaker in 2004. He started his career in watchmaking
repairing and restoring watches and clocks from estate sales and antique shows. Two years later, he started a small business from his home
and completed repairs for a local antique store. Another two years later, Sean opened
The Village Watchmaker in downtown Los Gatos, California where a local
watchmaker (Kaz Iwasaki) had retired in 2004. This transition provided Sean with the
opportunity to continue to provide
watch and clock repair to the
community. Shortly thereafter,
Sean traveled to Grenchen,
Switzerland where he received his
certification training. After returning
from Switzerland, Sean began
creating a line of custom watches
known as the S.Paul Watch Company.
Repair, restoration, and service for all types of watches and clocks is guaranteed and completed on the premises by Sean Paul Yoshinaga.
House calls can also be arranged. If a timepiece requires extensive factory work, notification
will be given prior to shipment. All timepieces are shipped UPS 2nd day air and are insured
for the full replacement value. The Village Watchmaker also carries a variety of new and
vintage watches and clocks for purchase. Sean takes pride in providing his customers with
“timepiece education” to extend their knowledge
about the inner workings or historical
background related to their watch or clock.
He has an extensive collection of books, and
customers are always welcome to explore his
library.
