At FTS American Manufacturing, we pride ourselves on preserving the timeless art of watchmaking while integrating the latest technological advancements to ensure precision and efficiency. Our commitment to this balance is what sets us apart in the industry and why we are dedicated to teaching both traditional and modern techniques to our technicians. The Art of Manual Watchmaking There’s something undeniably special about the craft of hand-fitting watch components. It requires a keen eye, steady hands, and a deep understanding of the intricacies involved. This is a skill that takes years to perfect, and we believe it is crucial to pass down this knowledge to our technicians.In our latest video, you can watch one of our skilled technicians using the Horotec manual hand-fitting machine to fit the hour, minute, and second hands on a watch face. This delicate process showcases the precision and care that goes into every piece we create.  The Role of Semi-Automated Machinery While we cherish the traditional methods, we also recognize the importance of incorporating semi-automated machinery to enhance accuracy and efficiency. By using advanced machines, we can achieve higher yields and maintain consistent quality across all our products. One of our featured tools is our semi-automated hand-fitting machine, which ensures each component is placed with exact precision. This not only speeds up the process but also minimizes errors, allowing us to meet the high standards our customers expect.  Striking the Perfect Balance The challenge for any watchmaking company looking to scale is finding the right balance between these two approaches. At FTS American Manufacturing, we are committed to teaching our technicians the delicate art of traditional watchmaking while also leveraging technology to stay competitive and efficient. This dual approach helps us preserve the rich heritage of American watchmaking and push the boundaries of what is possible in our industry.
