Acted as the Company’s expert in the authentication and valuation of consignment timepieces during the Company’s transition to include timepieces. Responsible for developing and delivering training programs for employees to standardize procedures for authenticating and valuating timepieces.

I managed two workshops supporting the New York City Cartier boutiques: one within the flagship boutique for faster, less complicated jobs and one off-site for larger jobs. The workforce consisted of five watchmakers, two engravers and one polisher.

I was tasked with creating and developing a sequential line for the New York workshop. I tested, hired and trained ten candidates, many with no previous watchmaking experience. As the team developed and was able to meet the company’s expectations for production and quality, I turned leadership of the team over to its senior member and concentrated on technical training for executives and non-technical personnel.

I joined Rolex USA as a sequential technician, and moved to a watchmaker position to learn the more obscure calibres of the brand. I became the in-house instructor in 2007. In this position I provided ongoing training to the staff, administered bench tests to prospective employees, provided technical training to new hires, and regularly addressed sales teams for the Company’s network of authorized jewelers.
