With thousands of watches available from more than 50 brands, including Rolex, Omega, IWC and more, plus boutiques across the UK and a manufacturer certified service centre, Watchfinder has established itself as the top pre-owned watch specialist.
Our Service Centre based in Kings Hill, Kent is currently seeking a Watchmaker to join our current team of dedicated Watchmakers.

Our Service Centre is fully accredited by Omega, Cartier, Audemars Piguet, Panerai and IWC. Other manufacturer accreditations are being sought.
The successful candidate will be expected to service both MOD, Chronograph and ETA movements to manufacturing specifications. You will have the luxury of working within our state-of-the-art 4,000 sq. ft. service centre, which is fully equipped with manufacturer approved tools and machinery.
You must have a proven track record of working at the bench with luxury and ideally complicated watches. As part of the application process, these skills will be assessed.
