Bringing Watchmaking To You

Mechanical watches have charmed the world since they first emerged in 1510. Historically, it’s been very challenging to learn the art of watchmaking without going to an expensive school.

Rotate® created the first kit of its kind, a kit complete with all the materials and resources so you can learn the craft that’s entranced people for over 500 years.

"Great product and great quality. the best customer service. got my husband a kit and he loved it. we ended up having to buy a watch screw as he lost it and was a super reasonable price for the spare part. then he broke the face plate when trying to assemble. Jennifer was amazing and helped us out. definitely a great experience overall and will definitely buy again."
