Rotate® is known for offering high-quality but easy to build all-in-one mechanical watch kits and watch movement kits kits. Each of our kits includes all the parts, tools, and guidance that you’ll need. We have several styles, difficulty levels, and build types to choose from. Shop all of our kits and compatible parts.

If you’re more interested in the intricate inner workings of the watch, we recommend a watch movement kit. If you’d like the bigger picture and to have a completed watch in the end, we recommend a watch kit. The two kit types show two separate processes and ultimately, getting both types will give the full experience. Use code KITBUNDLE for $50 off multiple kits! 

Each kit includes all the necessary tools, components, and detailed instructions to build your own mechanical watch.

To get the full movement kit and access to the movement guide, you’ll need to purchase a movement kit. Though it may seem redundant to have two movements, we highly recommend it since the highest performing watch uses the unopened movement. Use code KITBUNDLE for $50 off both types of kits. 

Absolutely! Our kits are designed to be beginner-friendly, with various difficulty levels to suit all skill sets.

Our leather straps fit a wrist of approximately 17-22 cm (6.7-8.6 in), and our metal straps can be adjusted to any length under 22cm (8.6 in). All fit most wrist sizes, including women’s. 

We have several different collections that are compatible within each collection. To see all collections and the compatible parts, visit our Shop Kits page.

We source high-quality components from trusted brands like Seiko, Miyota, and Seagull.

All orders are assembled in our Los Angeles office and shipped from our US warehouses.

Assembly time highly depends on the person and what particular obstacles come up. Some may find enjoyment working bits at a time for a few days! A rule of thumb is at least 3-5 hours for 'hard' level kits, 2-3 hours for 'medium' level kits, and 1-2 hours for 'easy' level kits.

Movements come assembled in our watch kits to ensure accuracy and functionality in the final watch. Our movement kits highlight the disassembly/assembly of the movement. For an additional cost, you can order the movement kit with a disassembled movement. To get the full experience with both types of kits, use code KITBUNDLE for $50 off!
