The Watchmakers Bench

The Bench is the iPhone and iPad app for The Watchmaker's Bench, the service software for watchmakers. It works with your existing account: the same jobs, photos, stock and reports you use at the bench, built for your phone.

YOUR JOBS
See every watch you have in, grouped the way you work: in progress, waiting for QC, in QC and waiting on parts. Open a job for its photos, parts, costs, go-aheads and documents. Edit it, add before and after photos straight from the camera, and hand a job off to a colleague.

QC WITHOUT THE GUESSWORK
The Bench reads each watch's timing sheet and knows when its next check is due: Day 1, Day 2, Day 3 and the power-reserve run, worked out from the times you actually recorded and the calibre's reserve. A notification arrives before each check, and a pill on the job list shows what's overdue.

STOCK AND PARTS
Search your parts, scan a part's label with the camera, adjust counts and see what's on order. Move parts between stores with transfers, and receive a delivery against the order it belongs to.

ASK SIRI
• "How many watches do I have open in The Bench?"
• "When will my QC watches be done in The Bench?"
• "How many full services have I completed this quarter in The Bench?" Counted the way your Reports page counts them, against your quarterly goal.

NOTIFICATIONS
Know when a job is loaned or transferred to you, when a part a job was waiting for is back in stock, and when a QC check is coming up. Choose which kinds you get.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
Sign in once with your password and authenticator code, then unlock with Face ID or Touch ID. Signing out of the app, or changing your password on the website, signs the phone out too.

ALSO
• Clock, reports and the QC calculator
