Let's work together to keep the craft of watchmaking alive

We are a group of watchmakers.

We have helped many explore the craft of watchmaking and appreciate mechanical watches. At the same time, we are fortunate to be helped by others who can help us spread the news.

If you enjoy watches, let's embark on this journey together. Many people love watches; some of them just don't know it yet.

That was an amazing experience. Let's do this again.

Yea, we agree this is a pretty neat kit that isn't your typical run-of-the-mill mechanical watch assembly kit. I think this is going to be a lot of fun for a people and I agree that they did a very fair job with pricing.

...the DWC-DO1 will stay in my watch collection and I'll always think of it as the first watch I built myself, and for me that's priceless.

You are going to wearing this around.. waiting for someone
to say “hey nice watch…” so you’ll be able to say “Yeah I built this watch!”

No DIY or modding experience? We got you covered!

It is right to respect the craft of watchmaking, and yes, this may be a challenge. But with our experience of helping thousands of first-time watchmakers, we know you'll do just fine. From designing the components to our QC process to each tutorial video, we are committed to giving you the best experience possible.

Swiss quality check standard and processes

It's much easier to QC a complete watch.
However, to ensure you have a smooth assembly experience, we need to apply luxury swiss timepiece's QC process; each individual component goes through its own QC process, with multiple inspection points. The cost of our QC process for each kit can easily cover 10X the assembly cost of the same watch.
We can assure you that no other watches in our price point go through an as detailed QC process.
