Get to know the core components of a watch and how they fit together. This section sets the stage with essential knowledge about movements, case anatomy, design constraints, and practical considerations before you start building.
Learn how to design and produce your own watch case using a range of methods—3D printing, CNC machining, metal casting, and more. We'll explore different materials, prototyping techniques, and ways to bring your designs to life, whether you're working from home or outsourcing production.
This is where creativity takes center stage. You'll experiment with various dial fabrication techniques like CNC cutting, laser engraving, hand-painting, and pad printing. We’ll compare tools and materials, explore both clean and expressive finishes, and help you develop your own visual style.
Bring everything together and build your watch step-by-step. From fitting the dial and hands to sealing the case and adding the final touches, you’ll walk away with a finished timepiece—and the skills to build more.
