Watch Polisher/Refinisher

Posted: 02/05/2026

The selected candidate will be trained to polish and refinish watch cases and bracelets. This role is ideal for someone who enjoys hands-on work and takes pride in fine craftsmanship. While prior polishing experience is preferred, it is not required—we are willing to fully train any motivated individual to become a professional watch polisher/refinisher.

In this position, the candidate will learn to operate a variety of machines and tools used to achieve high-quality finishing results. Watch polishing and refinishing is an essential process that restores a watch’s original luster and shine, greatly enhancing its overall appearance. This skill is especially important for luxury timepieces, where visual condition significantly influences desirability and value.

Refinishing involves carefully removing scratches, dents, and other blemishes from exterior components—such as the case and bracelet—to bring the watch back to its original cosmetic condition. Starting salary is $20 to $23/hr. Dental and health insurance available. Paid PTO included.
