Hand Made Watch, Including The Movement!

[Pete]

I tried to put this in the knowledgebase area but it wouldn't allow me to. Feel free to move this somewhere more appropriate.

I came across this site today, this guy has made his own watch and shows all the steps including cutting his own gears, he did borrow a balance wheel but the rest is his, I'm amazed..............

Hand made watch

Don't suppose anyone knows him ?

Great input

If only he replica factories could employ someone like this we would never see Shiterand ever again

Don't know him, but read that article months ago--fascinating. The amount of $$$ that guy's got in his shop tied up in machinery is astounding.

Seen that before, spent a long time reading it. It's quite an incredible project.

I don't like the design of the watch though, I really think it looks awful!

He posts frequently on TimeZone and plans to continue making 1 of 1 series watches. His wife will get the next one.

Add another $500 in tooling and about the same for a Taig or shurline lathe and you could do what he does and much more. IF you had the skills.

His skills and knowledge of engineering are astounding!!

Someday I'm gonna get one of those little buggers! It's a friggin' 4 axis also. If you know what one can do, well, you know what one can do
