Definition
Individuals who make, repair, clean and adjust the mechanisms of timekeeping instruments such as watches and clocks. Electrically powered clocks and quartz watches and clocks function with almost no moving parts limiting necessary maintenance to replacing the battery. Many expensive timepieces still employ old-style mechanical movements and a manual or automatic winding mechanism. This type of timepiece must be regularly adjusted and maintained.
