For the watch lover who has everything

They collect watches. Give them a story to build.

Choosing another watch for someone with strong tastes can be difficult. Give them a different way to enjoy the thing they already love.

With Horologic, they assemble an NH35-powered automatic watch themselves—from fitting the dial and hands to the first time they put it on.

From appreciating to assembling

A new perspective on a familiar passion.

This is not about outspending their collection or guessing their dream watch. The gift is the experience of bringing a real mechanical watch together.

The NH35 arrives assembled. The recipient works with the visible components that give the finished watch its character, supported by tools and step-by-step guidance.

  1. Understand what comes together

    See how the movement, dial, hands, crown and case relate to one another.

  2. Do the precision work

    Set and align the hands, case the movement and check the assembly as the guide explains.

  3. Keep the watch they made

    A wearable result with a different kind of value: their own time and care went into it.

For the person buying the gift

You do not need to become a watch expert.

Start with what they enjoy, then choose a design. Horologic offers a sport watch, a diver-inspired watch, a field watch and a more traditional special edition.

  1. Notice what they already wear

    Look for sporty bezels, brushed steel, leather straps or two-tone details.

  2. Check proportions

    Use the watch-size guide and a watch they find comfortable; case diameter alone does not decide fit.

  3. Choose the experience honestly

    It suits a curious, patient first-time builder. Someone already servicing movements may prefer a more advanced project.

One experience. Their style.

Four styles. A different relationship with each.

Choose the design that fits their tastes. These are complete build experiences, not watches sold ready-assembled.

Will this suit an experienced watch collector?

Collecting and assembling are different experiences. Horologic can suit someone who knows watches but has not built one, provided they enjoy careful hands-on work. It is an introductory assembly experience, not an advanced movement-servicing course.

Am I rebuilding the NH35 movement?

No. Its internal mechanism arrives assembled. The recipient fits the dial and hands, cases the movement, fits the crown and pre-cut stem, closes the case and attaches the strap or bracelet.

Is everything needed for the first build included?

The chosen watch components, assembly tools and step-by-step guidance are included. Allow a clean, well-lit workspace and time to work carefully.

How do I choose without spoiling the surprise?

Use a watch they already enjoy as a guide to case proportions and style. The watch-size guide explains what to consider. The model and available dial option are selected when ordering.

What if something goes wrong during the build?

Personal build support is available directly from Horologic. Replacement components for accidental assembly damage can be purchased separately.

Our paid fixed-price completion and repair service can take over an existing Horologic build, with necessary replacement watch components included. For a possible manufacturing defect, contact us before paying. Explore Horologic Care.

Can you send the gift internationally?

Yes. Orders are prepared in Switzerland and shipped internationally with tracking. Available destinations, shipping costs and applicable taxes are shown at checkout. Destination import-charge arrangements are explained in the Shipping Policy.

Is the watch Swiss-made?

No. Horologic chooses beginner-friendly components from specialist international suppliers, including the NH35 automatic movement. Each experience is checked, prepared and packed in St-Prex, Switzerland; the recipient assembles the finished watch.

What does the lifetime warranty cover?

Where it formed part of the purchase, it 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. See the full terms.

Give more than a finished watch

Give them a watch they know from the inside out.

Choose the watch that feels like them. We bring the components, tools and guidance together; they make it their own.
