START YOUR WATCHMAKING JOURNEY WITH THE BRONZE DIVER
The Bronze Diver Skeleton.
BRONZE CASES - Please read before ordering
As this is a solid bronze case, please note that when the case arrives it will be of a rose golden colour and develop a patina over time. Solid bronze can cause a skin reaction, if it is in contact over a long period of time. Using a stainless steel case back (as we do in our kit), greatly reduces the contact to your skin, but if you notice any issues, please stop wearing your watch for a while.
Containing all parts, tools and instructions our kits are an ideal start into the world of horology. Learn more about the concept of time, the way a watch ticks, and how to assemble your own automatic watch at home.
Your kit contains detailed printed instructions as well as access codes to our step-by-step video guides available on our homepage (click here for an example) to assist you through the assembly.
Our kits are available as Full watchmaking kits or as No tools variants:
- Full watchmaking starter kit includes watch components (case, dial, hands, movement, and strap), a full tool kit (watch hand levers and press, movement cushion, friction ball, cleanroom products, dust blower, Rodico, precision tweezers, table mat, screwdriver (pilot watches only), watchmaker’s loupe and headwire) and detailed instructions (printed booklet in each kit and access to our step-by-step video guides via our homepage)
- No tools kits include only the watch components and the instructions (we recommended to start with a full DIY kit to ensure you have all the right tools for your first assembly)
Safety notice: Please note that these kits are not toys and are unsuitable for children of any age. They contain small parts which can be swallowed as well as sharp tools. Please always handle the tools (especially tweezers) with utmost care and caution. Keep the ends away from your eyes, skin or any other person or animal.
