A Luxurious Watchmaker located in Henley-on-Thames is seeking an IT Support Engineer to be part of their team on a permanent basis.
ABOUT THE COMPANY
They are an award-winning British company producing beautifully engineered chronometers at their Headquarters in Henley-on-Thames. Time began for them when they embarked on a journey to make beautifully crafted pilot’s watches of exceptional quality. Flying historic aircraft has been in their blood from an early age, as has their love for watches and all things mechanical. The timepieces had to be tested beyond any normal call of duty (and not just in the workshop), and of course be immensely precise and durable. They make their watches to a very high specification for the price point and every watch in their standard range is Chronometer certified. They stand by their product and are one of the few companies offering a 3-year warranty on every watch they produce. They hope that their customers get the same satisfaction as them when they try on their products.
