My name is Gustavo Peker and I am the owner of Del Mar Watch and Clock Repair in San Clemente. A little background about me, I’m a native of Argentina where I learned watch repair and watch making since an early age shadowing my father, Jacobo, a master watch maker who founded in Buenos Aires the only watch making school of South America at the time. “My father, Jacobo, helped me so much, and taught me everything I know, and everything I have is because of him, and so my wish is to honor his memory by continuing my trade in watch making.” The watch repair business isn’t what it used to be because of disposable watches – “we change a lot more batteries these days” – but there is still a call for my skills as we still do a lot of repair work on old watches with sentimental value for their owners. We keep hundreds of watches that we use only for parts, since many watches we see are not made anymore. When we can’t find an original part or fashion something from a similar part, we can make it from scratch. Working with the tiniest of screws, some smaller than the head of a common ant, We ca repair six to eight watches a day. Our clientele it’s mostly from the San Clemente area but we also serve customers with unique time pieces from all around the country. “They know what they are doing here and they are fast – they’re old school for sure,” said Phyllis Nelson of San Clemente, a frequent customer.

Dave Wilson moved to Temecula in 1991 to serve as the opening Director of Sales and Marketing for a brand-new area hotel. At that time the entire Temecula Valley consisted of ~27,000 residents (compared to over 600,000 today), ONE stoplight and seven wineries. That same year, partnering with the then Executive Director of the Temecula Valley Chamber of Commerce, they created the valley’s first tourism committee, Dave chairing the initial two years. This committee ultimately segued to today’s non-profit “Visit Temecula Valley”. Two factors crystalized his awareness of the opportunities to come and were key in Dave’s decision to take the plunge and step away from the corporate world to follow his dream to be an entrepreneur. A tourism project he spearheaded as committee chair reinforced his awareness of the amazing mix (even at that very early stage) and breadth of area attributes attractive to visitors such as the valley’s distinct scenery and topography, weather, historical significance and area activities including golf, wine tasting and outdoor recreation. Working with a graphic artist, he conceptualized, composed all descriptive text, then sold the advertising to fund Temecula’s first two visitor’s guides. [read more]

Hello, my name is Breanna and I am the proud owner of Devoured Pet Food. As a pet owner myself, I know how important it is to prioritize the health and well-being of our four-legged friends. That's why I founded Devoured Pet Food - to provide pet owners with a high-quality, affordable option for raw pet food. At home, I have three adorable goldendoodles who are a huge part of my life. Their health and happiness are of the utmost importance to me, and it was through my own personal journey with their nutrition that I realized the need for accessible, affordable raw pet food options. At Devoured Pet Food, we believe that our pets deserve the same level of care and attention when it comes to their food as we do. That's why we provide only the highest-quality ingredients in our products, ensuring that your pets are getting the nutrients they need to thrive. We understand that affordability is also a major concern for many pet owners, which is why we strive to keep our prices competitive without sacrificing quality. We keep our costs low by working directly with suppliers and offering bulk boxes to pass the savings onto our customers. I look forward to serving you and your four-legged friends. [read more]
