Full watchmaker tool kit
We are here to help
Building an automatic watch is a challenging task, but with our complete sets you will receive the prepared components for assembly, a full tool kit and detailed step by step instructions. All you need is a steady set of hands and a bit of patience, to complete this kit!
The Mayfair is a mix of elegant curves, subtle brushed surfaces and finely polished edges with a sunray brushed, colour infused dial. Measuring 40mm the Mayfair case is an elegant case, but retains key features of a toolwatch such as a scratch resistant sapphire crystal and screw-down crown and case back to ensure water resistance. Within the case a 28.5mm fume dial offers a range of four different colours, all featuring a sunray brushing to reflect the light with every movement of your wrist, completed by a set of elegant silver polished, lume filled hands. The Mayfair is powered by the NH-38A automatic watch movement with 41 hours power reserve, 24 jewel bearings and sweeping second hand.
Containing all parts, tools and instructions our kits are an ideal start into the world of horology. Learn more about the way a watch ticks, the origins of watchmaking and how to assemble your own automatic watch at home.
All our kits contain a detailed instruction booklet as well as access to our step-by-step video guides available on our homepage (click here for an example) to assist you throughout the assembly.

Timeless Modern
The Mayfair
Within the heart of London, a district combines timeless elegance and modern creativity with exceptional craftmanship like no other. Mayfair brings together the best tailors of England with exceptional modern makers and inspired the creation of this watch with its form outmanoeuvring tradition and maintaining a level of details and finishing that will take you by surprise. Similarly bringing two sides together is the dial, starting on the outside in black and gradually fusing into the colourful core, completed by sunray polishing to reflect light from every angle and applied, silver polished indices to match case and hands.
