Atelier Custom creates individually commissioned watches shaped around a person, occasion, or idea. Project Skyline follows the development of an original Persa watch from the first design through production.

Start with a colour, occasion, photograph, favourite watch, or rough idea. I’ll turn it into one considered visual concept and refine the direction with you. The final design, price, and expected timeline are confirmed before any project-specific parts are ordered.

No. You are not expected to understand movements, case dimensions, or compatible components. Tell me who the watch is for, what you want it to feel like, and anything you already know. I’ll guide the watchmaking decisions and explain the ones that affect the result.

Atelier Custom commissions begin at C$995 CAD. Final pricing depends on the selected components, engraving, sourcing, and complexity of the build. You’ll receive the final quote before deciding whether to proceed.

Most commissions are completed within 4–6 weeks after the final design is approved and the deposit is received. Unusual or difficult-to-source components may take longer. Your expected timeline will be confirmed before the build begins.

I’m Eric Persa. I guide each Atelier Custom design, source the compatible components, and personally assemble and check every commission in Alberta. Components come from established specialist suppliers; Persa does not claim that every component is manufactured in-house.

Every new Persa watch includes a transferable two-year limited warranty covering defects in the movement, components, and assembly under normal use. If a covered problem occurs, Persa will inspect the watch and repair or replace the affected component at no charge.
