One profession that everyone is aware of, yet which usually doesn’t immediately spring to mind when choosing a career – and thus deserves more attention – is that of watchmaker. A skilled trade that, if you have a passion for mechanical objects, is extremely attractive in many respects. The family-owned company Wempe, a retailer and manufacturer of fine watches and jewelry, plays host to one of Germany’s most modern and best training centres for watchmakers in Glashütte, Saxony where in a three-year training programme, 24 watchmakers (eight per year) are being trained.

’s training programme has the special feature that the company can offer three individual paths after the training. Graduates can decide whether they would like to go on to work in production or the service workshop in Glashütte, in the service workshop in Hamburg or in one of Wempe’s many branches in Germany or abroad. But there are also many more attractive aspects within Wempe’s training centre. We took a closer look at what makes the profession of ‘watchmaker’, as well as the Wempe training centre in particular, so special.

In 2022, was the first brand to launch a Certified Pre-Owned programme, partnering exclusively with at that time, Rolex’s largest distribution partner worldwide. Today, there are approximately 50 Bucherer Certified Pre-Owned points of sale across seven countries, with Rolex Certified Pre-Owned now available in nearly all locations where Bucherer operates.

Each watch is not only serviced and checked by a Rolex-certified watchmaker at Bucherer, but then sent to the Rolex workshops to have its authenticity checked again and to test the movement, dial, water resistance and accuracy. After that, every watch comes with a 2-year international manufacturer’s warranty.

But how does the buying, selling, authentication and certification of pre-owned watches actually work? We provide answers to the most important questions about the Rolex Certified Pre-Owned programme at Bucherer.

Piaget’s enduringly popular sports watch collection continues to grow, having just welcomed its newest member: the Polo Flying Tourbillion Moonphase. Housed in a lightweight titanium case, this timepiece combines two great complications into one ultra-thin manufacture movement, the calibre 642P. The open-worked dial exposes the beauty of the impressive manual-winding movement, which measures a mere 4 mm in height while integrating a flying tourbillion and moonphase. The combination of the maison’s trademark blue and silver details, alluding to the glow of the moon, and the interplay of circles, cushion-shapes and gadroons establishes a sporty-elegant aesthetic. Once again, this iteration proves Piaget’s ability to challenge itself and continuously reinvent an icon without losing its very essence.
