START YOUR WATCHMAKING JOURNEY WITH THE TOOL WATCH
An everyday watch, small in size but robust and sturdy. This solid bronze toolwatch combines a brushed finish with a sapphire crystal and screw down crown to enable over 10 ATM water resistant (around 100m diving depth). The case is made of a strengthened copper alloy with 8% tin, commonly known as CuSn8. Over time the case will change its colour and develop a beautiful and unique patina.
Completed by our matte diver dials with applied golden indices (lume-filled), this watch is ideal for anyone who likes the durability of a diver watch, but prefers a clean case without the dominant bezel. This watch is powered by the reliable and precise NH-35A automatic movement purely powered by the movement of your wrist.
BRONZE CASES - Please read before ordering
As this is a solid bronze case, please note that when the case arrives it will be of a rose golden colour and develop a patina over time as seen in the pictures. Solid bronze can cause a skin reaction, if it is in contact over a long period of time. Using a stainless steel case back (as we do in our kit), greatly reduces the contact to your skin, but if you notice any issues, please stop wearing your watch for a while.
Containing all parts, tools and instructions our kits are an ideal start into the world of horology. Learn more about the concept of time, the way a watch ticks, and how to assemble your own automatic watch at home.
Your kit contains detailed printed instructions as well as access codes to our step-by-step video guides available on our homepage (click here for an example) to assist you through the assembly.
Our kits are available as Full watchmaking kits or as No tools variants:
- Full watchmaking starter kit includes watch components (case, dial, hands, movement, and strap), a full tool kit (watch hand levers and press, movement cushion, friction ball, cleanroom products, dust blower, Rodico, precision tweezers, table mat, screwdriver (pilot watches only), watchmaker’s loupe and headwire) and detailed instructions (printed booklet in each kit and access to our step-by-step video guides via our homepage)
- No tools kits include only the watch components and the instructions (we recommended to start with a full DIY kit to ensure you have all the right tools for your first assembly)
