After completing my exams, I toured workshops and watchmakers across Switzerland, Germany and Austria, and spent time with many established international brands, learning their well-respected servicing, repairs and restoration techniques.

In May 2017, I studied at the British Horological Institute and achieved Member of British Horological Institute status. I met a variety of American watchmakers and attended the AWCI National Conference. In September 2016, I started studying to complete the American Watch and Clockmakers Institute (AWCI) watchmaking qualification CW21, which I finished in late 2017. I serviced thousands of vintage watches, new watches, and everything in between, broadening my knowledge and gaining vital experience for a career in watchmaking.

Over the course of my apprenticeship, my passion for watch repairing and service grew, and I began setting my sights further.Īfter I finished my apprenticeship in Coffs Harbour, I moved to Adelaide and began working for Birkett Watches. During this time, I also undertook service work for several Swiss watch brands.

I worked on battery operated and mechanical watches, learning how to take them apart and piece them together again. I began a four-year apprenticeship with established Lewis Watch and Clock Makers in Coffs Harbour, NSW. In 2011, I started watch repairing on a whim, and I haven’t looked back since.
