50 years of experience as a master watchmaker with passion

For more than 50 years, I have been fas­ci­na­ted by repairing watches, calibrating, resto­ring, and servicing timepieces – with close attention to the tiniest details.

Even though the German daily press has in the meantime described me as “one of the best watchmakers in Germany” (Bild) or dubbed me “one of the most in de­mand watchmakers in the world“ (FAZ), my profession continues to revolve around the same thing: my passion for screwing together, grinding, and polishing exquisite chronometers in my workshop in Mainz.

Following my nomadic years as a young watchmaking assistant, I passed my master’s examination on March 23, 1966 at the "State watchmaking school in Ham­burg" with the distinction “very good” and received a federal prize for out­stan­ding watchmaking.



With my qualification in hand, I started focusing on the area of renowned, historic “Glashütte” pocket watches and wristwatches from the very start of my self-employment. As a result of this ex­pe­rien­ce, I can now perform complicated work, e.g., on timepieces from A. Lange & Söhne, Assmann, Grossmann, Han­hart, Masterpieces of watchmaking, DUF, the pilot chrono­graph Urofa Caliber 59, observation watches, power reserve in­di­cator pocket watches, and the rectan­gu­lar wristwatch Urofa Caliber 58. To offer my customers something special, I extended my exper­tise to include military collector’s watches.

With my ample experience as a crafts­man, I perform even the most compli­ca­ted restoration work and also restore unusual clocks. Additionally, I offer ex­tensive experience in manufacturing re­place­ment parts such as balance staffs, wheels, pinions, levers, and faceted crystal glasses.

In recognition of my life’s work as a master watchmaker, I was awarded the "Golden Master Craftsman‘s Certificate" by the Hamburg Chamber of Trade in October 2016.

I vouch for all the watches that I repair or sell with a quality and guarantee promise.
