A profession for people with finesse and passion

The precision of a clockwork fascinates you just as much as complex mathematical problems and laws of mechanics? You love working with your hands on intricate systems and handling small, delicate parts? You face every challenge with lots of patience and sensitivity? Then you'll like what comes next.  

Your responsibilities as a watchmaker at Wempe

Working for us, you can not only demonstrate the entire range of your craftsmanship, but multiply it manyfold: In our service centre you work on the complex clockworks of the world's most renowned luxury brands. You learn all the steps – from repair and maintenance of large mechanical clocks and watches to the cleaning, servicing and refurbishment of casings and feature components. Your daily work also includes administrative tasks and working with merchandise management systems. Working and learning with the best trainers and vocational schools as well as the most sophisticated manufacturers, you polish your knowledge and skills.

Opportunities unique in the industry and the world

You can't get this anywhere else: Even during your apprenticeship at the watchmaking school, you work in the service centre of one of the Wempe locations and directly apply the craft you have learned. After your successful completion, you can work as a service watchmaker in one of our locations or exclusive brand boutiques around the world. Through visitations, courses and internships with the Wempe watch manufacturers you become familiar with the greatest international watch brands and gather valuable and often unique expertise. Look forward to one of the largest and most professional watch service centres in Europe  – and become part of the "top tier" in your chosen profession.
