Your watch, built in four stages

01

Choose your watch

Start with the Sportsman, Diver or Prism, then select the details that make the watch yours.

02

Unbox your workshop

Every essential component and specialist tool arrives together in the Horologic watchmaking kit.

03

Assemble it step by step

Fit the dial and hands, prepare the crown and stem, place the movement in the case and attach your selected strap or bracelet.

04

Wear what you built

Set the time and wear a mechanical watch with a story that began at your own workbench.

THE BUILD

Real watch assembly, made approachable.

The NH35 automatic movement arrives fully assembled. You perform the precise work that transforms it into a finished watch.

  • Fit the dial to the automatic movement
  • Install the hour, minute and seconds hands
  • Prepare and position the crown and stem
  • Place the movement inside the watch case
  • Close the case
  • Attach the leather strap or stainless-steel bracelet

You are not rebuilding the hundreds of internal components inside the movement. You are completing the assembly that brings the movement, dial, hands, case and strap together as one watch.

Patience matters more than experience.

You do not need previous watchmaking experience. Work carefully, follow each stage in order and take your time. The satisfaction comes from completing real, precise work yourself.
