Watchmaker benches for workshops, manufactures and schools
BenchTech Allemann AG designs and supplies professional watchmaker benches for repair workshops, manufactures, service centres and watchmaking schools. Nine models, modular or made to measure, adapt to your posture, your tools and your space. You can try them in our showroom before you decide.
What is a professional watchmaker’s bench?
A watchmaker’s bench is a workstation that is higher than a desk and fitted with armrests, so the watchmaker works with supported forearms and the piece close to the eyes. This position steadies fine movements when assembling, regulating and repairing watch movements.
A professional bench also combines drawers for tools and supplies, a worktop suited to small parts, task lighting and integrated power connections. At BenchTech, each element is chosen to suit the work: after-sales service, series assembly, restoration or training.
How do you choose a watchmaker’s bench?
Choose a watchmaker’s bench first by working height, then by armrests, worktop, storage and lighting. These five criteria determine the ergonomics of the workstation and how tired you feel at the end of the day.
- Working height: adjustable by crank or electrically, especially if several people share the same workstation.
- Armrests: padded and adjustable in 2D, 3D or 4D to support the forearms in the right position.
- Worktop: solid wood (beech, birch, oak), HPL or Corian, with a raised edge or groove to hold small parts.
- Storage: drawer units at heights suited to your tools, on the left, the right or both sides.
- Lighting and technology: task lamp, power sockets and USB ports, mounts for a microscope or screen, integration of your existing devices.
For dust-sensitive work, a bench can be combined with a laminar flow Flowbox. Armrests and accessories are chosen to suit your work.

Modular or made to measure: what is the difference?
A modular bench is assembled from standard elements: frame, worktop, drawer units, armrests and technology. It suits workshops that equip several identical workstations and want to extend them later.
A made-to-measure bench is developed for a specific user or location, for example a boutique, a manufacture or a master watchmaker’s workstation. Materials, dimensions and equipment follow your requirements.
In both cases, your existing devices and tools are integrated directly into the bench, for example a Witschi Proofmaster. You keep your equipment and gain a complete, well-organised workstation.
