  • DIY WATCH WITHOUT THE DIY LOOK

    You know that feeling when you finish building something with your own hands? That deep satisfaction of creating something beautiful and functional? That's what we built this kit for.

    Most guys buy watches. You'll build yours.

    And when someone asks about your watch? You don't just say "thanks." You get to tell them you built it. With your own hands. From precision-engineered components.

    That story is priceless.

  • GERMAN-CURATED PRECISION PARTS

    We're talking German-curated 316L submarine steel. Japanese Seiko automatic movement. Sapphire crystal that laughs at scratches. Premium bezel that stays perfect forever.

    The same components luxury brands use in $1,200+ watches. But you get the satisfaction of building them yourself.

  • JAPANESE SEIKO MOVEMENT

    Your watch is powered by a mechanical Seiko movement. Seiko has been building movements for hundreds of years. Precision and reliability is guaranteed.

  • GERMAN-CURATED PRECISION

    Submarine-grade 316L steel. Sapphire crystal. Each component hand-selected for durability and beauty. This isn't hobby-grade—it's luxury-grade.

  • PROFESSIONAL WATCHMAKER TOOLS

    Precision screwdrivers, anti-magnetic tweezers, magnifying loupe. The same tools professional watchmakers use. Keep them forever, build more watches.

  • FOOLPROOF BUILD PROCESS

    No micro-fiddling. No impossible steps. Just pure satisfaction as you assemble precision-engineered components into something beautiful. 2-3 hours of focused creation.

  • BRAGGING RIGHTS INCLUDED

    "I built this myself" hits different than "I bought this." Every compliment becomes a story. Every glance at your wrist reminds you what you're capable of creating.

  • ZERO-FAILURE GUARANTEE

    Can't complete it? We'll build it for you and send it back. (Though in 1,500+ kits, everyone's succeeded so far. You will too.)

WHY I CREATED THIS KIT

I created this watch kit for my ex-boss Uwe. He's 38, successful, owns a Rolex Submariner and Datejust. But Uwe's also a tinkerer.

Uwe loves creating. That deep satisfaction when you step back and admire what you've built with your own hands.

Uwe's sophisticated. Selects only the best materials, the finest tools.

That's why I German-curated this kit. I knew Uwe would open the box and love every moment.

And afterwards? He'd wear it over his Rolex. Because something you build holds special meaning.

This kit is for the Uwe in your life. Whether that's you, your partner, or your father.

— Simon, Founder & German Watchmaker

COMMON QUESTIONS ANSWERED

I've never built anything like this. What if I mess up?

This kit is designed for successful men who value quality, not watchmaking experts. If you can follow instructions and enjoy working with your hands, you'll love this. The process is methodical, not fiddly. And we include spare parts for the tiny components.

How long does it actually take?

2-3 hours of focused building time. Most men split it over two sessions - movement assembly one evening, case assembly the next. No rush. Savor the process.

Are these real luxury components?

Absolutely. German-curated 316L submarine steel, Japanese Seiko automatic movement, scratch-proof sapphire crystal. The same materials used in $1,200+ retail watches. Quality you can feel and see.

What if I can't complete it?

Our zero-failure guarantee covers you. Send back the parts, we'll assemble them professionally and return your finished watch. Though in 1,500+ kits, everyone's succeeded. You will too.

Does this make a good gift?

Perfect gift!

Your recipient gets three presents in one - the building experience, the finished luxury watch and a beautiful watch roll to store it.

What's included – do I need anything else?

Everything's included.

No extra tools or parts needed.

Just find good lighting and start building.

Is this actually worth the money?

You're getting a complete luxury watch plus professional tools for less than one quality watch costs retail. But the real value? The pride of wearing something you built. That's priceless.

  • 30-DAY SATISFACTION GUARANTEE

    Not satisfied with the quality? Full refund. No questions asked. Though once you feel the weight of submarine-grade steel, you'll understand why we're confident.

  • 12-MONTH PRECISION WARRANTY

    Your completed watches are covered against any manufacturing defects. We'll repair or replace free of charge. Because precision matters.

  • SIMON'S ZERO-FAILURE PROMISE

    Can't get your watch ticking? Send us the parts. We'll assemble them professionally and return your finished watch. (Never happened in 1,500+ kits, but we guarantee it anyway.)
