Wilk Watchworks was officially created in 2010 by me, Scott Wilk. I actually started working on watches long before the official start date of Wilk Watchworks, during a time when I was making jewellery. I went full time into making watches in 2010. Prior to 2010, I was making my own line of jewellery under the name Wilk Designs(sorry, all of my creative powers go into the watches). I made jewellery for a few years years after graduating from the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design(now NSCAD University), but I always felt like I was spinning my wheels.

I dabbled in gemology for a time as well, but it wasn't until I got a job in a 'hole in the wall' in the basement of the Eaton Centre that I was introduced to the world of watchmaking. They taught me a great deal about watches at that store, for which I am greatly appreciative. After I caught the watchmaking bug, there was no turning back. I have explored and keep exploring ways to combine my art, design, and craft background, along with new materials, into my timepieces.
