It is recommended to undergo training at a watchmaking school to enter the profession of a watchmaker. The apprentice can start with a CAP (Professional Aptitude Certificate) in watchmaking, which allows them to acquire the basics of the profession in 2 years after the 3rd year of secondary school. They then move on to the BMA (Professional Craft Certificate) in watchmaking. This diploma allows them to improve their skills in the profession and receive both theoretical and practical training. Then, there is the DMA (Professional Art Diploma) in watchmaking, which is open to those who hold a vocational baccalaureate in crafts option watchmaking, a vocational baccalaureate in craftsmanship or a technology baccalaureate in design and applied arts. Other diplomas and certifications can also lead to the profession of a watchmaker, such as the CQP assistant manager certification in watchmaking/jewelry stores, the DNM (National Diploma in Metallurgy) for objects, the vocational baccalaureate in car body construction, the BTS (Higher Technician Certificate) in industrial product design and the 3A Bachelor's degree in Luxury Retailing in apprenticeship. With experience, a watchmaker can move from a workshop assistant to a watch technician and then to workshop manager. Because watchmakers work on micromechanisms, they must be patient, meticulous and have great manual dexterity to perform their task. A good memory and exceptional vision are also essential to work in the field of watchmaking. The watchmaker must be versatile because they may encounter old parts and tools that require computer-aided design, as well as expertise in high-precision electronic and mechanical work. The watchmaker may spend many hours at their workstation in sometimes uncomfortable positions, so physical endurance and patience are also essential qualities in their work. Additionally, the watchmaker must have excellent interpersonal skills to communicate with clients and other craftsmen (cabinetmakers, metal engravers, watchmaker-jewelers, etc.).

The clockmaker can repair clocks of different kinds, whether they are very old models (such as Comtoise clocks, hourglasses, pocket watches, Neuchâtel clocks...) or modern clocks (cuckoo clocks, micro-pendulums, digital clocks, diamond watches, quartz watches...). Not only can he work on large clocks like monumental clocks, antique pendulums, and building clocks, but he can also handle the repair of small volume timepieces (mechanical watches, watch straps, smart watches, antique watches, luxury watches...). With each service, he is able to perform disassembly and cleaning (refurbishment) in order to locate the faulty elements of the micromechanisms and explain the problem. Then he carries out the necessary adjustments and repairs (chrono, balance wheel, tourbillon, barrel, dial, case), orders or assembles replacement parts, changes defective parts, and makes revisions if everything is working properly before reassembly. The master craftsman can also customize the chime of a pendulum and the brass of an antique clock, according to the clients' needs. He can also take care of cleaning and maintenance of luxury clocks and watches. He is able to provide clock-repair services to individuals, collectors, clock companies, jewelers, and all clock enthusiasts.

The clockmaker is capable of bringing to life or reviving high-end clock brands (Hublot, Louis XVI, cartel, Bianchi, Hermès, Zénith, Jacquet Droz...). Sooner or later, an antique clock's glass may degrade over time and tiny fragments may settle on the hands. It is therefore essential to have the clock maintained and repaired by a technician to ensure it is in perfect condition. Regardless of the clock model and period, the clockmaker is the qualified person to repair it according to the rules of the art used in its construction. With mastery of all clock mechanisms, they can provide quality work in line with each request.
