Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
A manufacturing job that assembles parts of electronic watches, performs soldering, adjustments, and inspections to ensure the specified accuracy.
Description
Electronic watch assemblers assemble parts such as movements, electronic circuit boards, and batteries using manual labor or automatic assembly equipment, perform soldering, bonding, and fine adjustments, and inspect operational accuracy and time errors using dedicated measuring instruments. Since parts are handled with micron-level precision using microscopes and jigs, meticulous attention and high concentration are required. Work on production lines is common, but for prototypes or high-end models, skilled workers may assemble each piece by hand. They collaborate with quality control departments to reduce defect rates and improve production efficiency.
Future Outlook
While automation in manufacturing sites is advancing, there remains demand for skilled workers in the assembly of electronic watches requiring high precision and manual labor. Balancing skill inheritance and robotization is a challenge.
