A Commitment to Canadian Craftsmanship
At Barrington Griffiths Watch Company we take pride in creating high-quality timepieces that reflect the best of Canadian craftsmanship. Our watches are proudly made in Canada, with more than 51% Canadian-manufactured content.
While we have sourced select materials from around the world, recent trade tariffs imposed on Canadian goods by the United States have led us to make an important decision:
Going forward, we will no longer purchase American materials for our watches. This decision is not made lightly, as we deeply appreciate the relationships we have built with our suppliers, including the Horween Leather Co., whose exceptional craftsmanship has enhanced our timepieces. While we will continue to offer Horween leather straps while our local stock lasts, we are actively sourcing high-quality alternatives, including Canadian suppliers.
To our American friends and neighbours, we extend our deepest respect. We stand with those who continue to champion freedom, equality, and diversity, and who work toward restoring thoughtful leadership. As Canadians, we remain strong, independent, and committed to our values.
Thank you for your continued support. Together, we move forward with integrity and resilience.

About Us
Canadian Manufacturing
Barrington Griffiths has been making watches in Calgary, Canada, since 2010 using a mix of Canadian and imported parts. Our watch cases and Horween leather straps are made in Alberta. All the design, assembly, and testing are done here.
We may not be big, but our partners and customers appreciate the effort we make to produce a watch in Canada.
Quality Design, Quality Production
Our quality process starts in design, ensuring fit and compatibility of parts in a virtual model before moving into manufacturing. Physical prototypes are used to check for proportion, fit, and ergonomics. Then revisions are made as needed to the design model. During manufacture every component is checked before the assembly process begins.
Assembly follows a step-by-step sequence to maintain uniform quality. Assembled watches are visually inspected for defects, tested for water-resistance, and timed for accuracy before they leave the shop.
We take great pride in what we do, and we want each customer to feel that same pride in the ownership of their watch. Our attention to detail and quality is backed by our One -Year Guarantee.
