A watchmaker refers to a technician who specializes in the detection, repair and maintenance of clocks and watches. They need to master the knowledge and skills of the structure, principle, function, fault diagnosis and treatment methods of clocks and watches, and be able to skillfully use various tools and instruments to provide professional services for various types and brands of clocks and watches.

Watch repairers can be employed in different places and units, such as the watch repair room of the Palace Museum, various jewelry stores or specialty stores, watch manufacturers or agents. They can also set up their own personal studios or online stores to provide home delivery or mailing services.

The income level of watch maintenance masters is influenced by many factors, such as location, nature of the unit, work experience, technical level and so on. Generally speaking, the monthly salary of junior watchmakers is about 3,000-5,000 yuan, that of intermediate watchmakers is about 5,000-8,000 yuan, and that of senior watchmakers can even reach 1 10,000 yuan.

Clock maintenance master is a profession that needs long-term study and practice. To be a qualified or even excellent watchmaker, you need to have good basic knowledge, dexterous hands, high understanding and character, and perseverance. At present, there is no standardized or unified training institution or assessment standard in China to train and assess watchmakers. Most people enter this industry through learning from teachers or self-study.

But now people use fewer and fewer clocks, and the prospect is not very good.
