mtt.tr 0 Posted June 7, 2009 i have seen a kit for watch makers comes with movement and tools is there and places i can get a movement which is already in pieces so i can have a go at building one possibly with instructions :P i have always wanted to do this but have never had the opportunity before. im looking for either manuel or automatic. Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
trailboss99 994 Posted June 8, 2009 I would sugest signing up for TimeZone's watchmakers course (50 odd dollars last time I looked). You will need to buy some tools (the ones they sell tend to be a little expensive IMO) and buy an ETA movement ($50) to work on but you will learn how to strip and rebuild it. The course fee includes unlimited email support from an accredited instructor. Cases to fit these MVTs are available from a few places including TZ themselvs. This course is simply the best and easiest way of learning basic watchmakeing skills. If you wish you can then go on and do the second course that covers chronograph MVTs and complications. Col. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

trailboss99 994 Posted June 8, 2009 Not a problem mate. It's an internet based course and is available anywhere in the world. Buy your tools and movement from Cousins. Col. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
