Each kit includes all the essential parts you need to assemble your own custom watch: a case, dial, hands, movement, and other necessary components. These parts are sourced directly from vetted Chinese suppliers to keep costs low without compromising functionality.
Our kits use high-quality movements sourced from reputable manufacturers. Every movement is tested for functionality and comes with a one-year guarantee. If your movement fails randomly within that time, we’ll replace it at no additional cost.
We simplify the DIY watch-building process by sourcing, testing, and packaging all the parts you need. Our beginner-friendly kits include step-by-step tutorials to guide you, and if you encounter any issues, you can mail the kit back to us, and we’ll assemble it for a small fee. We also offer personalized guidance and sourcing for higher-end parts if needed.
You absolutely can—if you’re willing to pay more. Other companies offer higher-end parts at premium prices, but at Dial & Hand, we believe in giving you access to affordable, beginner-friendly kits that help you build confidence without overspending. Think of us as the Walmart or Aldi of DIY watch kits: practical, budget-friendly, and straightforward.
Our watches are perfect for beginners looking to explore the art of watchmaking without the pressure of high costs. While our parts won’t match luxury brands, they’re functional, customizable, and designed to teach you the ins and outs of watch construction. For higher-end builds, we can source upgraded components on your behalf.
No worries! If you can’t complete your watch, just send it back to us. For a small fee, we’ll assemble it for you, ensuring you leave the experience with a fully functional timepiece.
Absolutely! All our kits include various dial and hand options, and you can upgrade your base model with features like a skeleton dial or movement. If you’re looking for something truly unique, let us know, and we’ll help you source custom parts.
Not at all! Our kits come with detailed, beginner-friendly tutorials that guide you through each step of the process. With a little patience and curiosity, anyone can build their own watch!
