GemOro Goldsmith: The Ultimate Destination for the Most Exquisite Time Pieces in Edmonton



The noble clock has always been a point of style.  Even in the times of yore, the presence of an item like a grandfather clock or a golden watch signified that one came from a place or position of import.  Today this is especially true, as an increasing amount of people turn to their phones to tell the time.  Seeing a dedicated timepiece in this day and age gives off the implication that you come from old-time wealth and wisdom.  In the Edmonton area, GemOroGoldsmith has a hearty supply of fantastic luxury time pieces from a wide swath of manufacturers.

Jaegar-Lecoultre

Established in 1833, this manufacturer has made splashes in the world of watches very early on, introducing the millionmetre, the world’s most precise time measuring instrument, the very first keyless watch, which eschewed the key in favor of simple winding and the Lecoultre Calibre 145, the world’s thinnest time movement.  They continue to live along the bleeding edge of technology today with such watches as the Geophysic, a cold-resistant watch built specifically for research bases in Antarctica.  They’re as good with style as they are with function, as well, with such products as the Reverso line, which is a vestige of classic Art Deco design, as well as the Haute Jaoillerie Collection.

Girard-Perregaux

An extremely old manufacturer, founded in the waning years of the 18th century, Girard-Perregaux has the benefit of all that experience under its proverbial belt.  This company is responsible for the first commercially-produced wristwatch, as well as the world’s first wristwatch with a Quartz movement.  They’re still very much in the technology game too.  This year, they came out with the Constant Escapement, a wristwatch with a bucked silicon thread that’s thinner than even a human hair.  It acts as power source, an answer to mechanical watches whose power inevitably fades over time.

Ulysse Nardin

Established in Europe during the time that European nations were most quickly expanding their territory overseas, it’s appropriate that this company cut its teeth on its marine chronometers.  Today they are known for extremely high-tech timepieces produced in very limited quantities.  This is reflected in their eclectically titled timepiece collections.  The Trilogy of Time collection contains watches that can tell the phases of the sun and moon.  Many play songs as well.  Ulysse Nardin’s new Stranger watch plays Stranger in the Night on the hour.

Baume et Mercier

In operation since 1830, Baume et Mercier is best known for its masculine-styled timepieces since the 1900s.  Their watches are also known for winning accuracy competitions throughout the centuries.  Its reputable lines, such as Hampton, Capeland and Ilea have even attained celebrity endorsements, from such luminaries as David Duchovny, Andy Garcia and Gwyneth Paltrow.

GemOro Goldsmith Matches Convenience with Value

Since 1990, GemOro Goldsmith has dutifully served the Edmonton area with quality luxury goods and fantastic customer service.  Its convenient location in Downtown Edmonton has made it easy for its patrons to come in and partake in the wide variety of wares that it has available.  It’s a fantastic place to attain a quality timepiece.

GemOro Goldsmith: The Largest Collection of Genuine Rolex Watches in Canada

GemOro Goldsmith: The Largest Collection of Genuine Rolex Watches in Canada

Of all the luxury timepieces available, none of them are anywhere near as well-known as Rolex.  Just from hearing the word, most think of luxury and exclusivity.  It’s an icon of what it means to be in the elite, the upper crust.  It’s the kind of watch you would see James Bond wearing.  Moreover, the company has been at the forefront of time-telling technology for the past 200 years.  Its history is long enough to have traversed the past century; its reputation as a status symbol is virtually immaculate.

From Humble Beginnings

The story of Rolex begins in London in 1905.  Hans Wildorf and Alfred Davis founded Wilsdorf and Davis, a company that was best known for importing Swiss time movements to Britain, putting them in watch cases and selling them off to jewelers throughout the country. By 1908 Wilsdorf had registered the company name “Rolex” and opened an office in La Chaux de Fonds, Switzerland.  There is much debate over what the name means and where it came from.  Wilsdorf personally says that it came from the French phrase “horlogerie, exquise” or “exquisite clockwork,” which some take as a contraction of “hard, logical excellence.”  No matter the origin story, Wilsdorf went on record to say that he wanted a name that people could easily pronounce in any language.

Haven for Technological Advancement

Rolex has made many advances in watch technology throughout its history.  Among them is the development of the first waterproof watch, called the Oyster, released in 1926.  The company was also responsible for the first wristwatch, which would keep track of the date all on its own, as well as watches that could keep track of two different time zones simultaneously.  Beyond that, Rolex played a key role in the development of automatically-winding watches and it pioneered Quartz movements, a standard in all watches to this day, as well. Rolex specializes in making watches that can withstand the most extreme of elements, such as watches built for deep-sea diving and mountain-climbing.  It was also the first watchmaker to earn a chronometer certification for its wristwatches, obtaining an official Swiss Certificate of Chronometer Precision in 1910.

Helping to Win Wars

Indeed, Rolex had developed such a reputation for high-quality watches that the British Royal Air Force made Rolex its exclusive watch provider during the Second World War.  Even when British airmen were shot down and captured behind enemy lines, with their watches confiscated in the POW camps, Rolex had participated in a scheme to replace them, shipping the replacements out to many POW camps throughout German territory.  In fact, British Corporal Clive James Nutting, who helped organize the Allied POW escape from Stalag Luft III that inspired the film “The Great Escape,” used a Rolex Oyster 2525 Chronograph in his plan to escape German captivity.

Where Can It Be Found?

Only a few jewelry stores carry brands as prestigious and exclusive as Rolex. They are hard to find, especially here in Edmonton.  Among them is GemOro Goldsmith, a jeweler located downtown.  They carry the full assortment of Rolex’s current lineup. Customers go there to get prepared for any occasion, or just to buy something that tells all onlookers of their elite status. GemOro Goldsmith has been providing the Edmonton area with high-quality jewelry and watch ware for over 20 years.  They have earned their reputation as Edmonton’s premiere jeweler and the rich and elite have sworn by their service for as long as they’ve been around.
