Our Team. People Passionate About Watchmaking.
The Team – Experience, Expertise, and Passion
Behind Jenni Uhren is a dedicated team with many years of experience in both watchmaking and fine watch retail. Expertise, precision, and a deep understanding of high-quality timepieces define our work every day. As a family-owned business, we combine traditional craftsmanship with a modern approach to personal advice and customer service.
Four of our five team members are professionally trained watchmakers – a level of expertise that has become increasingly rare in today's watch retail industry. This exceptional knowledge enables us to provide expert advice and assess every timepiece with the highest level of precision.
The close collaboration within our team and our shared passion for watchmaking form the foundation of the trust, continuity, and quality for which we are known. We personally accompany our customers from selecting the right timepiece through to its care, servicing, and long-term preservation.
Our Watchmaking Workshop – Precision and Craftsmanship
Our watchmaking workshop is the heart of our craft – a place where experience, precision, and traditional craftsmanship come together. Modern workstations, specialised tools, and carefully equipped facilities provide the ideal environment for carrying out even the most demanding work to the highest professional standards.
Every timepiece is individually inspected, disassembled, cleaned, and carefully regulated. We combine traditional watchmaking craftsmanship with state-of-the-art workshop technology. The objective of every service is to ensure lasting reliability while preserving the integrity and long-term value of your watch.
We carry out servicing and repair work exclusively on watches manufactured in Switzerland. With extensive experience and technical expertise, we care for every timepiece with the attention and precision that fine watchmaking deserves.
Your Watch Store in Zurich – Personal Advice and Carefully Selected Timepieces
Located on Selnaustrasse in Zurich's Selnau district, our traditional watch store offers a carefully curated selection of high-quality timepieces. As an independent retailer, we place great importance on personal advice and a collection that reflects your individual requirements and personal style.
Alongside current collections, our selection also includes carefully chosen vintage and (P)Re-Loved watches, each professionally assessed by our watchmakers. Our watchmaking expertise allows us to advise you not only on design and character but also on technical considerations and the long-term preservation of your watch's value.
Whether you are looking for a personal consultation or expert guidance, we are always pleased to assist you. We take the time to understand your wishes and help you choose the right timepiece with independent advice, personal service, and genuine watchmaking expertise.
