Karine Pellerin is an artist and clock maker who graduated from the Trois-Rivières National School of Clock Making. Internships in Switzerland put her in contact with the most prestigious clock-making companies in the world. With this experience, she fell in love with the art of clock-making, a fascination that led to her desire to create high quality clocks made in Québec.
In 2002, she started a clock repair and restoration workshop with the dream of someday designing and building her very own creations. Her passion for clock-making inspired her to create her own designs in 2003. After a few years devoted to development and conception, the first Pellerin clock was shown and sold in 2006.
Today, Karine Pellerin stands out with her original creations and re-invented style. Her originality and the precision of her work make each and every one of her clocks a true work of art.
