FAQs

How high should a watchmaker's bench be?

Typically, your bench should be around elbow height when seated. A common recommendation is between 89 to 102 centimetres high, depending on the watchmaker's own height and seating preferences.

How to choose the best watchmaker's bench?

When choosing a watchmaker or jeweller’s bench, consider factors such as size, height adjustability, material quality, storage options and surface area. Look for a sturdy, stable bench made of durable materials, such as hard oak wood or metal. Make sure it has sufficient drawers and compartments for organising tools and parts. Adjustable height and good lighting are also important features to enhance your overall comfort and reduce strain.
