LETTER FROM A WATCHMAKER A JEWELER’S JOURNEY
A s a watchmaker, there’s something uniquely rewarding about working with timepieces that carry history and meaning. Whether it’s an heirloom passed down through generations or a modern marvel in need of a tune-up, each watch that crosses my bench tells a story. And every time I’m entrusted with one, I’m reminded of why I do what I do. Watches are more than just instruments of time; they’re personal – projections of our personalities, markers of life’s significant events, and often, silent witnesses to our most cherished moments. To be given the responsibility of repairing and maintaining these treasures is not just a job— it’s a passion. The art of watchmaking is a delicate practice of precision, patience, and a deep respect for the craft. Every gear, every spring, every jewel plays a part in the symphony of time, and I consider it a privilege to be the one who ensures it plays on, perfectly in balance and tune. It’s in these quiet moments at the workbench, surrounded by the hum of ticking movements, that I find my greatest joy. So, when you trust me with your timepiece—whether it’s a vintage classic or a contemporary icon—you’re not just handing over a watch; you’re sharing a piece of your life with me. And for that, I am profoundly grateful.
Thank you for allowing me to do what I love. It’s an honor to play a small part in keeping your watch—and its story—alive.
Matt Schloemer, Watchmaker
