Full watchmaker tool kit
We are here to help
Building an automatic watch is a challenging task, but with our complete sets you will receive the prepared components for assembly, a full tool kit and detailed step by step instructions. All you need is a steady set of hands and a bit of patience, to complete this kit!
The Mayfair Phantom is the diametrical opposite of the original Mayfair design. While using a similar curved design, the Phantom is a combination of matte surfaces and muted tones. The matte black coated 40mm case embraces a matte, 3D embossed 28.5mm dial with black lume hourmarkers and matte black coated hands with lume filling. Within the matte case and visible through the open case back, the well tested NH-38A automatic watch movement is in operation with 41 hours power reserve, 24 jewel bearings and sweeping second hand.
Containing all parts, tools and instructions our kits are an ideal start into the world of watchmaking. Learn more about the way a watch works, the history of watchmaking and how to assemble your own automatic watch at home.
All our kits contain a detailed instructions book as well as access to our step-by-step video guides available on our homepage to assist you throughout the assembly.
Our kits are available as Full watchmaking kits or as No tools variants:

The Mayfair Phantom
With its modern matte black aesthetics and minimalistic design, the Phantom is a modern interpretation of watch design outside of the ordinary. With its strong contrasts and straight forward design, the Mayfair is distilled down to its function – telling the time.
