Watchmaking Tools
Why have your own watchmaking tools?
Owning your own watchmaking tools allows you to maintain your watch independently, without having to resort to a professional watchmaker for minor adjustments, thus saving time and money. This includes changing straps, cleaning certain components, or replacing defective spring bars. With the right tools, you avoid the risk of damage during delicate handling. In addition, it offers personal satisfaction that will delight any watch enthusiast. Having suitable, quality tools guarantees precision in your interventions, thus preserving the integrity and longevity of your watch.
The essential tool
Removal punch
The watchmaker's removal tool is an essential tool for removing and installing spring bars, allowing you to fix or change watch straps. Thanks to its fine point on one side and its fork on the other, it offers great precision for handling components between the lugs without damaging the watch. Owning a removal tool is essential for watch enthusiasts wishing to carry out strap changes safely while avoiding scratches during handling.
For increased ease
Pliers for placing bracelets
Watchmaker's bracelet fitting pliers are tools that greatly facilitate the precise and safe installation or removal of watch bracelets. For certain metal bracelets, particularly those from Rolex, they are essential, as you cannot change your bracelet without them. Bracelet pliers allow you to handle spring bars without the risk of scratching, ensuring optimal grip on small parts and thus facilitating delicate interventions. They are an essential tool for all watchmakers.
For more thoroughness
Precision screwdriver
Precision watchmaker screwdrivers are essential tools for handling small watch screws. Their thin, precisely adjusted heads allow components to be unscrewed and screwed back in without damaging the watch, particularly when opening the case or adjusting the strap. Using quality screwdrivers ensures optimal precision and control during delicate repairs or adjustments. They are essential for any watchmaker or hobbyist wishing to maintain or repair their watch with care and professionalism.
