OUR STORY · JOHNS CREEK
Our Story
It’s About Time Inc. was built on a simple belief: a fine timepiece deserves care from people who genuinely understand it. What began as a dedicated watch repair studio has grown into one of the Atlanta area’s most trusted destinations for luxury watch service, repair, and sales—now proudly based in Johns Creek, Georgia, after outgrowing our original Perimeter Mall location.
6,800+ clients servedCertified watchmakersFully insured care
The trust of first-time watch owners and seasoned collectors is the foundation of everything we do.
Family Legacy · Sri Lanka
A Legacy of Watchmaking, Passed Down Through Generations
Our story begins in Sri Lanka with our grandfather, Robert Perera, a dedicated watchmaker who worked with Omega and devoted his craft to the intricate mechanisms of vintage pocket watches and manual-wind timepieces.
His knowledge and passion were passed on to our father, Lionel Perera, and continue today through the third generation of our family. What began at a watchmaker’s bench in Sri Lanka has grown into a family tradition built on precision, patience, and respect for the art of horology.
At It’s About Time Inc., we carry that legacy forward by combining generations of watchmaking tradition with modern tools, specialized training, and manufacturer-authorized expertise. Every watch that comes across our bench represents more than a repair—it is an opportunity to preserve the craftsmanship, history, and stories held within a timepiece.
Three generations of watchmaking. One enduring passion for keeping time.
