Watchmaker benches and accessories
A clean, well-lit work surface, sheltered from dust: that is the first condition for working on a watch.
The essentials
A bench mat holds the parts and protects the watch; compartment boxes and covered parts trays keep screws in the order of disassembly. For a complete workstation, there is a watchmaker's bench in solid sapele wood.
