Ara Karkazian Watch & Jewelry Company was established in 1978 in Fresno, California when Ara Karkazian bought the business from George Karkazian. The store at the time was approximately 300 square feet and was primarily a repair store. In 1994 we expanded to accommodate the growing business we were experiencing, and finally we relocated to our current location in 2003.
