Rotate Watches is a pioneering woman-owned business based in Los Angeles, California, offering all-in-one kits that empower individuals to build their own mechanical timepieces. Each watchmaking kit is a comprehensive experience, providing all necessary parts, tools, and a detailed guide to create a unique, personalized watch.

Everything started when our founder, Jennifer Zhang, began assembling watches as a hobby in college. she ended up falling in love with the process, but not with the inefficiencies in the watchmaking process. Her passion for horology led her to create the kit she wish she had when building that first watch.

After two years of meticulous preparation and product development, collaborating with dozens of suppliers, Rotate Watches officially launched through Kickstarter in 2019. The campaign was a resounding success, raising over $91,000 - 600% of the initial goal.
