Summary
A manufacturing job that assembles and adjusts movements and parts used in quartz wristwatches, table clocks, and similar devices.
Description
Quartz watch assemblers accurately combine the movements (mechanical parts) and exterior parts of quartz watches, adjusting and inspecting them to meet specified accuracy standards. They handle small gears, circuit components, etc., using microscopes and specialized tools, and assemble finished products through processes such as soldering, screwing, and bonding. High manual dexterity and attention to detail are required, and ESD (electrostatic discharge) measures or clean room work may be necessary. Manufacturing environments range from mass production lines to hand-assembled luxury brand models.
Future Outlook
While production processes are becoming automated, skilled techniques are needed for high-precision fine assembly, and demand is expected to remain stable.
