Assemble Your Own Timepiece with DIY Watch Club

It usually starts quietly, like a whisper in the back of your mind – but it’s there alright. At some point in everyone’s watch journey comes an inevitable curiosity for how these tiny machines are assembled and how life is breathed into them. And with the rise in interest for customization and personalization (we see all you modders out there!) comes a desire to build your own wristwatch. This can be an intimidating endeavor, however. Immediate problems arise: a lack of tools, guidance, and a place to start. That’s where DIY Watch Club comes in.

Widely considered the premier build-it-yourself watch shop, DIY Watch Club is rooted in the belief that assembling your first watch doesn’t have to be a difficult or frustrating experience. Regardless of the watch, each kit contains everything you need to assemble the timepiece from beginning to end, from bezels and movements to cases, crowns, and more. The curriculum is purpose-designed for beginners and is based on watchmaking workshops for household names like Gucci, Chanel, and Louis Vuitton.

DIY Watch Club pays exacting attention and care to every aspect of the kit. The included tools are designed and manufactured with guidance from industry movement-makers, and the watch components are designed with tolerances that are friendly for novices. You might not be assembling a Datograph Up/Down, but you’ll still get the satisfaction of having built something yourself. DIY Watch Club is proud of their track record as well; with a 99.5% success rate, you can be sure that you’re in for an enjoyable (and ultimately successful) experience.

The options are endless here with kits ranging from GMT, pilot, and dive to elegant dress and skeletonized watches. For those who want to take things a step further, there are even kits for flame bluing and luming watch hands. This wide range of personalization and friendly learning curve makes DIY Watch Club a wonderful introduction into the world of assembling and modding your own watch – and to a greater appreciation of all aspects of watchmaking as a whole.
