Watchmaking kit - The Classic Master - Ref. 261110

Building a mechanical 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 Classic Master is a hommage to traditional watchmakers of the past. Its dial design is inspired by regulator watches of the past century with a classic railtrack minute index and a small second sub dial at 9 oclock. Above the three dimensional dial, a set of polished blued steel hands offers a unique touch to this watch and a tasteful add of colour. The watch is completed with a three piece stainless steel case with a sapphire crystal and satin brushed finish with polished edges and a wide open case back to reveal the movement. 

Please note that a mechanical watch needs to be wound up via the crown every 48-50 hours to keep ticking.
