Build something real

Custom builds - design your own

Design your own by picking out your own parts - movement, dial, hands, and a stainless steel case & strap, each priced individually. Two movements to start from: a classic automatic or a mecha-quartz chronograph. From £45.

Custom builds can't be ordered yet - they open once our first pre-orders have been sent out.

How it works

Choose your kit

Pick a watch that excites you, or build your own from real parts.

Follow the guide

Instructions walk you through every stage.

Wear it

When the movement starts ticking, you'll have built a real working watch. One that belongs entirely to you.

Everything you need to build something that lasts

No experience needed

Our kits are designed so that anyone with patience can complete them. No prior watchmaking knowledge required.

Real watches, real movements

These aren't display pieces. Every kit is built around a genuine movement, automatic or mecha-quartz.

A skill that stays with you

Once you've built one, you'll understand how a watch actually works.

Pick your first kit.

Every Wristbuilt kit comes with every part and a step-by-step build guide. Add the tool kit once - sold separately, it covers every future build.
