    Ever wanted to build your own watch?

    Well now you can from the comfort of your own home (for the princely sum of CHF 3500, that is):

    April 1st is late this year.

    It appears to be an easy enough assembly to fit the dial & hands to a ready made Chinese skeleton movement.
    Drop it into the case, fit the stem, then add the case back & leather strap = job done.

    I did something similar using parts from Ali-Express last year.
    £50-£60 aĺl in.

    Whoaa! That's one spicy meatball.

    I think I'll stick to modified Seiko's if I want to build something.

    Not really but as an artist in my spare time I would like to DRAW / design a watch for somebody who is interested in building one and take part that way.
