Role you're checking

Watchmaker

Trades

Watchmakers in India overhaul mechanical and quartz movements at authorised service centres (Titan, Ethos Watches, Johnson Watch Co.), independent repair workshops, and the small but growing Swiss-trained independent restorer segment represented by operations like TimeMakers Mumbai. The role demands complete movement disassembly — balance wheel, escapement, mainspring, keyless works, and complications — followed by ultrasonic cleaning, fresh lubrication to NIHS 91-10 specs, and rate regulation on a Witschi or Timegrapher 1000. The premium end involves Patek Philippe, Rolex, and Omega factory-authorised service, which requires WOSTEP (Watchmakers of Switzerland Training and Educational Program) certification or equivalent manufacturer schooling. Entry typically flows through Titan's in-house Watchmaking School in Hosur, which trains for Titan service centre roles, or through Craft Apprenticeship programs at independent workshops. HMT-trained watchmakers from the state enterprise era now predominantly run private practices in tier-2 cities.
