FAQs
A watchmaking kit is a comprehensive package that includes all the components and tools needed to build a complete mechanical watch. From the movement and dial to the hands and case, these kits offer a hands-on experience in crafting a fully functional timepiece. Whether you’re a novice or a seasoned watchmaker, our watch kits are designed to provide a satisfying and educational watchmaking journey.
A mechanical watch is a type of timepiece that operates without a battery. Instead, it relies on a complex system of gears, springs, and other mechanical components to keep time. These watches are powered by a mainspring, which must be wound by hand or through the natural motion of the wearer's wrist in the case of automatic movements. The energy stored in the mainspring is transferred through a series of gears and an escapement mechanism, which regulates the release of energy and keeps the watch ticking accurately. Mechanical watches are cherished for their craftsmanship, durability, and the intricate engineering involved in their creation, making them highly valued by watch enthusiasts and collectors.
