THE WATCHMAKERS
IN DEVELOPMENT
The remarkable true story of spies, fashion, and Coco Chanel during World War II.
Synopsis
The Watchmakers, based on the book by Harry and Scott Lenga, tells the extraordinary true story of three brothers whose watchmaking skills become their lifeline during the Holocaust. Bound by an unbreakable promise to stay together, they navigate ghettos, labor camps, Auschwitz, and the uncertain road to freedom.
In a world designed to strip away humanity, ingenuity becomes resistance, craftsmanship becomes currency, and hope itself becomes an act of defiance.
A story of brotherhood, resilience, and the extraordinary will to survive.
Three brothers rely on the watchmaking skills they learned from their father—and a vow to stay together at any cost. As the war closes in and their family is torn apart, the brothers carry with them the only inheritance that may save them: their father’s craft, their ingenuity, their faith, and the promise they make to one another.
No matter what happens, they will face it together.
The Watchmakers blends the emotional depth of a family saga with the relentless tension of a survival thriller. The series balances profound darkness with resilience, ingenuity, and the enduring power of human connection.
