Watchmaker Studio
Description
The watchmaker’s craft had in the past great importance in the municipality of Loulé, where there was enough demand for gold ou silver but also for watches, used as adornment.
Until recently, to repair a simple wall clock it was necessary to go to the Clock Museum (in Serpa). Faced with this reality, combining the availability of an experienced watchmaker and the Municipality’s objectives of revitalizing crafts, he opened the Watchmaker’s Workshop – a space operating on Rua do Bocage, in Loulé – where the master watchmaker José João Guerreiro applies his knowledge, carrying out maintenance and repairs.
