Watchmaker tools for professional precision mechanics
Watches are all about ticking – literally – correctly. Mechanical watches are masterpieces of precision mechanics and require inspection, maintenance and sometimes repair. In addition to the necessary sensitivity, high-quality, precise and long-lasting precision mechanical tools are required. This is the only way to do all your work, such as changing batteries, attaching bracelets and cleaning the case, quickly and efficiently.
The quality of the tools should always be at the forefront. How easy are valuable watches ruined by handling with a poor tool? Quality at professional level has its price. If you only want to change a watch strap from time to time, a solid spring bar set is enough. However, if you want to replace batteries or clean watches, multi-part watch tool sets in different designs and sizes are the better choice.
Good tools also make a contribution to occupational health and safety. High material quality and the associated durability ensure a quick re-import of the expenditure for the purchase of the tools.
The selection in the area of clock tools is very varied. Some tools can be used universally. Their design allows an adaptation to different sizes of the clock models. Others, in turn, are tuned to certain clock components.
Suitable lenses, tweezers, brushes, gloves as well as special oils and greases should be available for working on watches. These items are available in the sets listed here and in other product categories in the Conrad shop.

FAQ – Frequently asked questions about watchmaking tools
What was to be observed when servicing/repairing clocks?
- Watches are precision products with a high proportion of precision mechanical components. Work on this requires solid knowledge, high care and a systematic approach. The profession of watchmaker is a demanding profession of training.
- Observe the warranty conditions and time limits of the watch manufacturer. Such a claim may be extinguished by unauthorized intervention in the watch.
- Always carry out work on the watches entrusted to you on a soft, scratch-free surface. Only use proper tools that are not damaged.
- Make sure that the tool and the material are not jammed when inserting and pressing in watch bases and watch lenses.
