Build Guides

Every kit ships with a written build guide, but some steps are easier to follow on video. Start here — more video guides are on the way.

Attaching hands

The single step that trips up first-time builders more than any other. These two videos cover the full process, start to finish.

Part 1 of 2

Hour & minute hands (movements with date)

Setting the hour and minute hands square, without scratching the dial or knocking the date wheel out of position.

Part 2 of 2

Second hand (the fiddly one)

The second hand is the trickiest part of any build — this walks through seating it straight and getting it to sit at the right height.

Pick a kit and put these to use

Every kit includes the parts, a tool kit is available separately, and now you know how to handle the tricky bit.
