A farewell gift from St-Prex
A farewell gift to remember Switzerland.
A mechanical watch they build themselves—and carry into their next chapter.
For a colleague, friend or partner moving on: give an experience prepared in Switzerland, with something lasting to keep.
- Beginner-friendly build
- Components, tools & guidance
- Personal support from Horologic
Their next chapter starts here
An afternoon to make. A watch to keep.
Some gifts mark the end of a chapter. This one gives them something to begin.
We choose beginner-friendly components for an approachable entry into watchmaking. No previous experience is needed—just patience and a little room to work.
Open their own workshop
Watch components, assembly tools and step-by-step video guidance arrive together in the Horologic box.
Make time for the build
Fit the dial and hands, case the movement and finish the watch. Most first-time builders allow around 2–3 hours, at their own pace.
Wear the memory
They keep a working automatic watch—and the satisfaction of knowing they assembled it themselves.
From colleagues, friends or family
A whole team. One thoughtful gift.
Bring everyone’s contributions together in one personal project, rather than several smaller presents. Organise the gift yourselves; Horologic takes care of preparing the experience.
Choose a design together
Start with their style. Pick the model and available dial colour that feel most like them.
Let one person place the order
Agree the contributions among yourselves, then have one organiser complete the purchase.
Leave time for the farewell
Plan delivery before their departure. They can enjoy the build once they are settled, with no workshop date to arrange.
One experience. Their style.
Find the watch that feels like them.
Every model includes the automatic movement, watch components, tools and guidance. Choose the character they will enjoy wearing.

Find the right proportions →Prepared in St-Prex, Switzerland
Chosen for a first build. Prepared with care.
Horologic brings together components from specialist international suppliers, selected to make mechanical watchmaking approachable for first-time builders.
Each experience is checked, prepared and packed in St-Prex, with personal support from the people behind it.
For someone leaving Switzerland, the connection is simple: a gift from the people they shared their time here with, and a watch they make their own.
Support beyond the farewell
Give with confidence.
The recipient can come directly to Horologic for help. You do not have to become the go-between, and support does not end when they leave Switzerland.
Is it suitable for a complete beginner?
Yes. The components and guidance are selected for careful first-time builders. No previous watchmaking experience is required, though fitting the hands takes patience and a steady hand.
What do they build—and what is included?
The NH35 automatic movement arrives fully assembled. They fit the dial and hands, case the movement, fit the crown and pre-cut stem, close the case and attach the strap or bracelet.
The watch components, assembly tools and step-by-step guidance are included. They only need a clean, well-lit workspace.
Can they build it after moving abroad?
Yes. There is no workshop appointment to attend. The Build Guide is online, and the recipient can contact Horologic directly for personal build support after their move.
What if they get stuck or damage a part?
Personal build support is available directly from Horologic. Replacement parts for accidental assembly damage can be purchased separately.
Our paid, fixed-price completion and repair service can also take over an existing Horologic build and includes necessary replacement watch components. For a possible manufacturing defect, contact us before buying a service or replacement. See Horologic Care.
How should we plan delivery before the farewell?
Orders are normally dispatched from Switzerland within 1–2 business days after confirmation, unless the product page states a different lead time. Delivery time is additional and depends on the destination.
Shipping is tracked. Allow extra time for a particular farewell date and choose an address where someone can receive the parcel. Costs and destination import-charge arrangements are explained in our Shipping Policy.
Is the finished watch Swiss-made?
No. Horologic selects beginner-friendly components from specialist international suppliers, including the NH35 automatic movement. The experience is checked, prepared and packed in St-Prex, Switzerland, and the recipient assembles the finished watch.
What does the lifetime warranty cover?
Where it formed part of the purchase, the lifetime warranty covers manufacturing defects in the supplied movement and watch components for the original purchaser or original gift recipient. Assembly mistakes, accidental damage and normal wear are handled separately. Read the full Horologic Care terms.
For everything that comes next
A new chapter. A watch with a story.
Give them something to make, something to wear and a reminder of the people behind it.
