WatchModders
For professional artisans
Join the verified watchmakers & modders — get monthly requests
We connect serious workshops with collectors who refuse drop-shipped fakes and empty Instagram promises. Apply if you work at the bench, invoice properly, and stand behind every build.
About WatchModders
WatchModders is not a parts shop or a faceless marketplace. We are a movement built by watch lovers who could not find trustworthy modders — and who decided to fix that.
We curate verified profiles of watchmakers and modders worldwide: real workshops, traceable parts, proper invoices, and portfolios that reflect actual bench work. Collectors discover you through our directory, country pages, and structured quote introductions.
Our promise to artisans: visibility beyond algorithms, a badge that means something, and a steady stream of qualified requests from people who already understand what serious modding involves.
Our values
What we champion — and what we reject on every profile we publish.
Craft & integrity
Real bench work, documented parts, fair client communication, and builds you would sign with your name.
Trust by design
Manual verification, no pay-to-play badge. Collectors know a WatchModders profile was reviewed by humans.
Transparent business
Invoices, warranties where applicable, and pricing you communicate clearly — no hidden markups through us.
Zero tolerance
Drop-shipping disguised as modding, mystery parts, misleading before/after photos, or hollow “master craftsman” titles.
Your mission
The kind of work our verified workshops handle — and what collectors expect when we introduce them to you.
Seiko modding & assembly
Full builds, dial and hand swaps, bezel and crystal upgrades, movement customisation (NH35, NH36, and equivalents).
Bespoke & hybrid projects
Case swaps, aesthetic personalisation, MoonSwatch-style custom work, and one-off commissions from your portfolio specialties.
Quality control
Movement regulation, flawless finishing, dust-free assembly, perfect hand alignment — the details collectors notice immediately.
Client relationship
Clear timelines, professional updates, secure shipping, and documentation that reassures buyers from first message to delivery.
Profile we are looking for
Independent watchmaker or modder (H/F) — trained professional, not a hobbyist reselling stock watches.
Technical mastery
You are comfortable with case opening, hand fitting, movement handling (mechanical and quartz), and the full modding workflow from intake to QC.
Business-ready
You invoice clients, can receive and return watches securely, and communicate like a professional throughout the sales and build process.
Equipped workshop
You own professional tools and a dedicated workspace suited to watch work — atelier, bench, or studio where you operate autonomously.
Precision & care
Meticulous finishing, respect for entrusted parts, and zero compromise on cleanliness and alignment.
Reliability
Responsive, honest about capacity, and able to honour agreed delivery windows — we refer clients who expect artisan standards, not excuses.
What we offer
Monthly qualified requests — collectors and first-time buyers who found us because they want a verified workshop, not the cheapest Instagram ad.
No artificial ceiling — mods, full builds, configurators, bespoke work: your profile reflects what you actually do.
Marketing & trust handled — we invest in SEO, the movement story, and verification so you spend time at the bench, not explaining why you are legitimate.
Total flexibility — you organise your schedule around the volume you accept. Remote-friendly: many workshops ship internationally.
A fair partnership — you remain independent. You quote, you invoice, you deliver. We make the introduction and stand behind the badge.
