The mechanical watchmaking industry is going through a genuine golden age and faces a constant shortage of skilled labour. Choosing watchmaking means opening the door to an extremely dynamic sector of excellence.

The career opportunities are numerous and varied:

In manufacturing: join the assembly or quality-control workshops of the largest Swiss houses.
In after-sales service: repair and maintain customers' watches within luxury boutiques or approved technical centres.
As an independent: open your own workshop to restore collector's watches and vintage pieces, a secondhand market that's booming.
In artistic crafts: specialise in high-end finishing (anglage, perlage, decoration).

To seize these opportunities, a solid theoretical and technical foundation is your best asset. Prepare your professional future with Décalibre's online curriculum.
