What does a watch maker do?

A watch maker is a skilled craftsperson who designs, builds, repairs, and maintains watches and timepieces. Their work can involve assembling intricate mechanical movements, replacing parts, adjusting mechanisms for accurate timekeeping, and restoring antique or luxury watches. Watch makers use specialized tools and have a deep understanding of horology, the science of time measurement. Many work in repair shops, jewelry stores, or for luxury watch brands, and some may also create custom or bespoke watches.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a watch maker?

To thrive as a Watch Maker, you need strong mechanical aptitude, fine motor skills, and a formal qualification in horology or watchmaking. Familiarity with precision tools, lathes, timing machines, and certifications from organizations like the Swiss WOSTEP program or AWCI are highly valued. Patience, meticulous attention to detail, and problem-solving abilities set outstanding watchmakers apart. These skills are crucial for crafting, repairing, and maintaining high-quality timepieces that demand accuracy and reliability.

What are some common challenges faced by watch makers in modern workshops?

Watch makers often encounter the challenge of balancing traditional craftsmanship with modern technology, as many workshops now integrate computerized tools alongside manual techniques. Precision and attention to detail are crucial, especially when working with tiny, delicate components that require steady hands and keen eyesight. Additionally, sourcing authentic or rare replacement parts for vintage watches can be difficult, demanding creative problem-solving and strong industry connections. Collaboration with fellow watch makers and specialists is also common, particularly when tackling complex repairs or custom timepieces.

What is the difference between Watch Maker vs Watch Repair Technician?

AspectWatch MakerWatch Repair Technician
CredentialsWatchmaking certification, horology degreesBasic watch repair certifications, on-the-job training
Work EnvironmentManufacturing, luxury brands, custom designJewelry stores, repair shops, service centers
Industry UsageHigh-end watch brands, custom watch creationRetail jewelry stores, repair services

While both roles involve working with watches, a Watch Maker typically designs and constructs new watches, often requiring advanced horology skills and certifications. In contrast, a Watch Repair Technician focuses on repairing and maintaining existing watches, usually with less formal training. Both roles are essential in the watch industry but differ in scope and specialization.

Job description

R-Works is regarded as one of the top independent service and restoration shops in the country. We are a low volume, boutique repair shop catering to some of the top collectors in the world. You won’t find any jewelry or watch display cases we are strictly service and restoration. We are looking to assemble an All-Star team for our new facility located at the luxurious One Flagler Building in downtown Miami.
We've added a lot of new tooling for our new shop. 2 Witschi Chronoscope X1 units, 2 Ergolift electric height adjustable watchmaker benches, ElmaSolvex VA cleaning machine to add to our already very tooled shop which already included two lapping machines, half a dozen lathes, Creviosier refinishing unit, laser welder, micro-tig welder and more.
We do premium work for premium clients that appreciate extra level of quality that we are known for. We work exclusively on Rolex and Tudor from the 1960s through current references. We're are NOT a high volume shop even though we are bombarded with more service requests than we can accept. Some months are tougher than others but we will not sacrifice quality for volume so this number is not in stone. We are extremely passionate about the work we do bordering fanatical. The extra effort and pursuit to constantly get better and do high quality work is noticed and has defines our company culture.
Our initial watchmaking team will include:
1 - Master Watchmaker in a leadership role. Rolex experience is a must for this position. We expect 10+ years of total watchmaker experience but not a deal breaker. Experience on a lathe for bush and sleeve work would be fantastic but not a deal breaker. The candidate we imagine will make a starting salary of $100k/yr and we will reach bonuses to take them to $120k+. If this sounds like you please apply.
1 - Very skill watchmaker that can work well with or without supervision. We expect 5 or more years of total watchmaker experience but not a deal breaker. The candidate we imagine will make a starting salary of $75k/yr and we will reach bonuses to take them to $90k+. If this sounds like you please apply.
If you don't meet the years of experience requirement, reach out anyways as we may still have an open position available for someone in their early stages of their watchmaking career.
If we sound like a fit for you, we are truly happy to welcome you to our team!
-Mike
