About the job
Watchmaking without the production-line pressure.
At Watch Repair UK, we are passionate about doing careful, high-quality work and giving skilled people the time and trust to do the job properly.
We are an established independent, brand-authorised workshop based in the Ribble Valley. For more than 15 years, we have serviced, repaired and restored a wide range of watches, from everyday pieces to luxury Swiss brands including TAG Heuer, Breitling and Omega.
Why this role is different
• No individual production targets, sales quotas or commission pressure
• Quality and craftsmanship come before arbitrary numbers
• Varied bench work across a broad mix of brands, models and movements
• The opportunity to work on interesting authorised-brand repairs
• A calm countryside workshop rather than a large corporate service centre
• A small, friendly team where your experience and ideas matter
• Independence and trust in how you organise your work
The role
We are looking for an experienced Watchmaker or Watch Technician to join our workshop on a full-time, permanent basis.
Your work may include:
• Quartz and mechanical watch servicing and repairs
• Chronograph testing and repair work
• Fault finding and diagnostics
• Battery replacement, resealing and pressure testing
• Case and bracelet checks
• Quality control and final testing
• Work across a varied range of luxury and Swiss watch brands
About you
You will have previous practical experience as a Watchmaker, Watch Technician or Horologist. You take pride in clean, accurate and reliable work, treat every customer’s watch with care, and are comfortable working independently as part of a supportive team.
Experience with TAG Heuer, Breitling, Omega or similar luxury brands is useful, but skill, care and the right attitude matter most.
What we offer
• Salary: £35,000–£40,000 per year, depending on experience
• No individual productivity targets or retail sales pressure
• Interesting, varied work rather than repetitive production-line tasks
• A peaceful countryside workshop
• Two on-site parking spaces, plus free parking approximately a two-minute walk away
• A close-knit, supportive team
• Ongoing learning and the chance to grow with an established independent business
Some watchmakers assume a bigger company offers the best opportunity. We offer something different: varied work, genuine autonomy, direct access to the people running the business and an environment built around quality rather than quotas.
Location
Roots Farm, Dunsop Bridge, BB7 3BG
Full-time, permanent, on-site role
