About
About Jeff
343 Watch Company was founded by Horologist, Jeff Broughton. As a 33-year veteran of the Columbus Fire Department and second generation watchmaker, Jeff was destined to come up with this idea. At the age of 14, Jeff began repairing watches. Trained by his father, a 53-year watchmaker, Jim Broughton. As well as being a watch repairman, Jim was an instructor of watchmaking and past president of the American Watchmakers Institute. Jeff started sitting next to his dad at the bench at the age of 2, he didn’t realize it, but his father was slowly teaching him how to repair watches. Once Jeff was in high school, he wanted to get a job like the rest of the kids and his father told him, just go to work for me, I’ve been training you your entire life. Later, Jeff also went to school for watch repair and went on to be an instructor himself.
