It refers to a person or professional who is deeply involved with watches, particularly in terms of their repair, restoration, maintenance, and possibly even sales. The term seems to combine "Uhren" (watches) with the Bavarian word "Dantler," which is not widely recognized in this context, suggesting it might be a colloquial or regional term. In the watch industry, the correct term is usually "watchmaker," which designates a professional skilled in repairing and maintaining watches. —————————————————————————————————————— Some of the tools I am using: FILMING: Camera: https://t1p.de/4jg9i 2nd Camera: https://t1p.de/mak7p Microphone: https://t1p.de/mak7p Cameraarm : https://t1p.de/eggg9 Wallmount: https://t1p.de/5z6xw TOOLS & EQUIPEMENT FOR WATCHMAKING: Brooches: https://t1p.de/92274 Set of spare jewels: https://t1p.de/zkm5e Rodico: https://t1p.de/pil4y Case Cushion: https://t1p.de/voasx Finger Cots: https://t1p.de/ax27z Finger Cots 2: https://t1p.de/yhx75 Automatic Oiler: https://t1p.de/zepi7 Movement Holder: https://t1p.de/xhak7 Pointer: https://t1p.de/443ai Case Opener Ball: https://bit.ly/40KmMQO Dial Storage Box: https://t1p.de/gqf2c Movement Storage Box: https://t1p.de/r8mtw Moebius 9010: https://t1p.de/kzdni Moebius HP 1300 (Red Oil): https://t1p.de/kzdni Pallet Fork Oil: https://t1p.de/3qnmw Moebius "Blue" Grease: https://t1p.de/0xdfv Moebius Lubeta: https://t1p.de/wj3gu Bergeon One Dip: https://t1p.de/i9l82 Cleaning Glas: https://t1p.de/2jkv5 Mainspring Barrel Closer: https://t1p.de/c76ym Timegrapher: https://t1p.de/oud48 Magnifying Lamp: https://t1p.de/7vqgv Bergeon Werkbench Pad: https://t1p.de/s3fez Polywatch Polish: https://t1p.de/nu4ii Seal Paste: https://t1p.de/g8jcj Ultrasonic Cleaning Concentrate: https://t1p.de/evdqb Microscope: https://t1p.de/2qpfy Sanding Paper: https://t1p.de/v4igj Scotch Sanding Paper: https://t1p.de/u5uc8 Brooches: https://t1p.de/92274 Silicone Polishing Tips: https://t1p.de/gigpv Elma polishing machine: https://t1p.de/9pcbl Polishing Tape: https://t1p.de/hodka Polishing Disc: https://t1p.de/x2q5b Pith Wood: https://t1p.de/ose0v Book For Starters: https://t1p.de/pwb3r COMPUTER & EDITING: Macbook: https://t1p.de/1vovf Final Cut Pro: https://t1p.de/x5pud
