Best Answer

A clockmater, watchmaker, jeweler or horologist works on clocks, depending on the clock.

There are different titles for the job, and this is due in part to the long, long tradition of the passing down of the knowledge needed to repair and "tune" these timepieces. Clockmakers generally worked on larger timepieces, and the watchmaker handled the smaller ones. The jeweler also got involved as small, top-quality tools are all that can be effectively used on the more diminutive timepieces. The term horologist is a more general one used to describe someone who works on clocks or other timepieces.
