I was looking around and it doesn't seem like there is much information even on google about building your own watch, movements and all. I don't know why I want to do this but it seems like it would be fun.
Got a tip for us?

Has anyone ever built their own watch?

That actually does seem like it would be a fun hobby. You would need very steady hands and a good eye......
Post back if you find any info on this.......
/added to my potential hobby list...
EDIT: Here's a website of some guy that made one. Apparently there is an internet watchmaking forum..... there are other forums besides this one?!?

Interesting. I think the part that intrigues me is that they have made them for quite a long time and I have no idea how they are put together.
It would definitely be an interesting project.
To be able to put a watch together properly so that it functions efficiently would be a cool achievement.
Then you'd be able to control time, right?
Im kind of surprised there isn't any starter kits or anything when I search google. Maybe this is an apprenticeship or "do yourself with a high likelihood of failure" only type of hobby.
You've unraveled my plan to take over the world!
