But the so-called collectors aren’t one big happy family. They’re a jungle of sub-species - each with its own quirks, excuses, and questionable logic. After decades in the trade, here’s my field guide:

The Magpie
Collects purely by eye. Beauty, shape, style - if it sparkles, it’s in. The collection ends up a dozen or so watches with nothing in common… except they all look fantastic. Worn daily, shuffled like a deck of cards.

The Sentimentals
A drawer full of Dad’s, Mum’s, and Uncle’s watches. The crown jewel? The twenty-first. Milestone pieces with heart-swelling stories, but almost no resale value. To them, that’s the point.

It’s All About Money
The biggest group of all. Watches aren’t worn - they’re spreadsheets. Each piece is a “strategic asset,” purchased only to appreciate in value. Collecting? No. Market speculation in steel cases.

The Hoarders
Quantity over everything. Two hundred watches and counting - cheap, pricey, broken, doesn’t matter. The joy isn’t in wearing them, it’s in stacking them like firewood.

The One-Watch Guy
Owns a single watch but still stares longingly at every new release. His loyalty is ironclad, but he lives in permanent horological FOMO. Prudence has its virtues… but also its torments.

The Purist
Obsessive, tunnel-visioned, and miserable. Worships craftsmanship - but only if stamped with his chosen brand’s logo. Often correct, rarely fun at parties.

The Dodgy Guy
Knows shit nothing about watches, but needs somewhere to park excess cash. Approach with caution - or better yet, don’t approach at all.

The Bling Dude
Dodgy’s younger cousin. Breitlings iced like a bakery, Rolex Presidents with aftermarket bezels, and other atrocities. Proof that money can’t buy anything of importance..

The Sophisticated Collector
My favourite. Builds thematic collections - often chronographs - tracing a brand’s evolution. Thrives on the hunt for that elusive missing piece. Informed, connected, respectful. The grown-up in the room.

The Rolex Man
Nothing beats Rolex. A full-blown love affair with his AD. His fantasy? A long weekend in Geneva - with the AD, of course.

The Surgeon / Lawyer
After an 18-hour shift, drenched in blood or buried in briefs, he has just enough strength for one click: “I’ll take it.” For him, a new watch isn’t a trophy, it’s therapy. Brutal, honest, well-earned. Respect.

"I like it"
He just likes it - a perfect fit on the wrist, a nice dial, really good looking. He’s happy.
No need to overthink, overdo, or impress anyone. Life is simple, worth living. Watches are fun - meant to be liked and enjoyed. It’s as simple as that.

Happy collecting.

Rebel without a cause

 

On Wednesday night, I stayed behind the bench longer than usual. Nothing beats the most productive hour of the evening - half past seven, when the city slowly falls asleep.

Around eight, as it was time to call it a night, I was still roaming through the junk box, looking for a "dollar deal" for tomorrow’s premium subscribers. And there it was: a perfect candidate. An old Citizen Diver, still ticking. With a massive scratch on the case - which, thirty years ago, rendered it unsellable.
“I reckon I can polish this one in less than fifteen minutes!” I exclaimed loudly.

“No, you won’t,” a voice replied.

I was quite sure the staff had left two hours earlier. I looked over my shoulder, but there was no one in the office.

“Don’t you dare touch me! Put me back in the junk box!” said the Citizen.

“Worry not, mate. In no time you’ll be as good as new,” I replied.

“Leave me alone, I am sovereign. Besides, you are not a qualified Citizen repairman,” said the watch.

“Listen, you shitter, I am a third-generation master watchmaker, and you are a worthless piece of junk. You may be worth a dollar - but not yet.”

Swiftly, the Citizen was subjected to a buff. But only a second later, it flew away from the spinning wheel, hit the ceiling, then disappeared into the darkness under the bench.

I arrived home tired and worried. That stupid shitter could have hit me right between the eyes.

Now, you may say this is all nonsense - watches can’t talk. Fine. But hear this.

The next day, I arrived early. I had completely forgotten about the incident. But then I remembered that I still needed a bargain to feature. The moment I pulled open the drawer with pocket watches, I heard another voice:

“Herr Hakko, we need to talk!”

There were more than fifty watches in that drawer, but I knew exactly which one was complaining: a 1940s German field piece, a Grana, with a loud escape wheel.

“What do you want now? I am busy! Keep it short!”

The usual stuff. He was complaining that he didn’t want to be in the same drawer with 'asiaten'-  Seiko Railway pocket watches.

“I want to be placed in the middle of the display case, where I deserve to be! I am not just an ordinary pocket watch - I was built for Wehrmacht!”

Yes, the delusional self-grandeur stuff I’ve heard so many times before.

“No way. In this shop, all watches are equal. Your glory days are long gone - you’ll remain where you are.”

“On display, to be seen and heard! I am built to last forever!” he demanded.

“You can’t go on display. Your radium hands still glow in the dark, you are a radioactive hazard. A danger to customers. Toxic to everyone.

But he wouldn’t listen.

With a swift swing of the Bergeon case opener, I snapped Grana’s balance staff.

My shop. My rules.

The Dead Wogmaster

 

The past few weeks have been sheer madness. Andrew and I are drowning in repairs – the bench is overflowing. I can’t quite put my finger on why. Maybe it’s the weather. Maybe it’s because watchmakers have stopped taking apprentices, or because Omega now quotes a 12-month turnaround time. Who knows. What I do know is that more often than not, we’re forced to turn away jobs that simply don’t make sense – either unprofitable, or with parts that no longer exist.

And then, amongst the mountain of Omega and Rolex, a familiar face arrived from Queensland: a Seiko Wogmaster. Yes, the very one we sold not that long ago. I knew it was coming, because I’d taken the customer’s call. New watches don’t just die without a reason. I was expecting something small – a loose screw, maybe a jammed rotor.

On the outside, the watch looked perfect. No scratches, no dents, nothing. But the moment I removed the case back, the story was written in plain sight: the hairspring was a mess, hopelessly tangled. It only happens when a watch takes a fall, or suffers a heavy knock – golf swings are notorious.

But here’s the part that moved me: once the hairspring was set right, this humble Seiko 5 came back to life with an astonishing amplitude, running at +2 seconds a day. Better than most Swiss luxury watches I see on this very bench. That’s not luck. That’s Seiko.

I love Seiko. Especially the ones we’ve sold. They have soul. They remind me why I became a watchmaker in the first place.

And no, I won’t tell the customer that his watch was dropped. He doesn’t need to carry that guilt. This repair is on me, free of charge – return postage included.

Why? Because when I hold a Seiko in my hands, I feel my grandfather and my father standing beside me. Both of them spent their lives repairing Seikos. When I breathe life back into one, I feel them with me. A Wogmaster on my bench is not just a repair – it’s a family reunion.

That feeling never comes with any other brand. Only Seiko. Only the Wogmaster.

So, who buys your watch?

 

This week we ran out of blue Curl Curl dials.

For the Mark II project, this is a bit uncomfortable to say the least. Like Corinthian running out of lamb. Like Cindy running out of red lipstick. Like Three Beans running out of coffee beans. Simply unthinkable.

To the cynics: No, we have not run out of dial nameplates bearing my name. Plenty of those in stock, thanks for asking.

Yet as trivial as it could be to the naked eye, it is a detail like the pocket in the dial where the name plate sits, that makes the Curl Curl dial challenging to make.
The cut-out is created with a tool that has a radius of just 0.15 millimetres. That is 150 microns. Keep in mind that we are milling hard medical grade titanium, not soft silver or brass. Perfection takes time. There are not many dial manufacturers who can do what we do here in Brookvale, not even in Switzerland.

The Curl Curl dial is actually a three dimensional structure. Yes, the actual waves hitting the shore, are ‘guilloched’ in Titanium. Yet at the same time, they are so small, so fine, that they appear on the surface of the dial as nothing more than a fine line.

And here is the nameplate siting in its pocket, under magnification.
For the past couple of weeks, I have had the privilege to talk to a number of watch enthusiasts who visited our office for one reason only: To see the Mark II in person. Whether the watch impressed them or not, is not for me to say, but those who actually make ‘things’ themselves, who use tools, who design and engineer, were simply blown away with our ability to shape metal, like it is butter. Those who care, understand.

If we are to be put in a box of horology, it would be one labelled ‘very difficult to make’. And we are more than happy with that.
The actual tool is manufactured by a Japanese toolmaker specialist. And here is an interesting story:
After we ordered a dozen or so of the tool, they sent us a polite email asking what product we actually make that requires one of the smallest tools in their entire range?
Josh replied with a photo of the dial pocket. A few days later, Josh was invited by the Japanese to visit their factory. He was the first non-Japanese person to have a full factory tour, to see how the tools are actually made.
Yes, they paid for return tickets for both Josh and his wife, as well as accommodation.

Pounding

 

There is a thin line between what one might call a fine collection of curious objects and a pile of rubbish. Often, I find myself on the other side.

A perfect example: a 1950s British Morse key, manufactured by Walters Electrical. A bit crude in execution, but very solid - built to be pounded on for decades. This particular example was used by a Post Office Morse code operator. Numbered and signed!

Unfortunately, with so many ongoing projects, the decision was made to let it go. The price was set at a mere $50 which is probably less than what I paid for it twenty years ago. A post on a Facebook ham radio group late Sunday generated plenty of likes and one potential buyer.

“Hey, is the key still available? Can I come and collect it? I live close by.”

It was already past 7pm, cold and wet, and the last thing I wanted was a stranger knocking on my door. Radio amateurs are notoriously nosey. I know them well. He simply wanted to be invited in, to see what else might be of interest. And that is precisely what I wanted to avoid.

“Happy to ship it. Alternatively, you can collect it from my city office.”

“What time?”

“Any time during business hours.”

That was it.

Yesterday, he texted again, asking - Would I be able to stay open until 6pm?

"No, we close at five."

He was persistent. “Then I can come to your home after 8?”

At that point, I’d had enough. “Bloody hell, no. I hate people. Sorry.”

I’ll spare you the details, but my fellow amateur quickly went from passive-aggressive to full-blown mental. He was brutally offended by my refusal to give in; by my right to privacy; by a basic human urge to keep lunatic strangers away, to set a boundary. But what offended him the most was my right to express such feelings boldly.

“Hate” may be a strong word, but sometimes, it’s the only word idiots understand.

Like me, you probably have a watch or two you'd be happy to part with. A watch collection is like a bonsai tree, trimming and pruning is what makes it beautiful. But if you’re tempted to sell privately, just one tip: do not communicate outside business hours.

Texting late makes you vulnerable. You're simply signalling that you have no boundaries. And people with no boundaries are easily manipulated. Groomers and psychopaths are professionals. You'll stand no chance.

Yes, the key is still for sale. Dah di dah.

Every second counts. Or does it?
Last week, I got an email from a watch owner who was fairly disturbed. He took his Tudor watch to a Tudor service centre, and they refused to help.
He called later that day. "What was the problem, and why could Tudor not help?" I’ve asked.
The watch was losing time. Precisely half a second per day. The caller was annoyed with the fact that the maker dismissed his complaint by simply stating that the timekeeping is well within the chronometer specification for a five year old mechanical automatic watch.

And I could not agree more. Actually, I pointed out that he should consider himself lucky - the timekeeping is absolutely perfect, and there is no need for adjustment.

He disagreed. "I would be much happier if the watch was gaining one second per day rather than losing half."

Let me put things into perspective. It is like a person earning $46,200 per day asking their boss for a pay rise of 50 cents.

I am not going to bore you with details, but the longer we talked, the more determined he was that he was 'in the right' and that I should do my absolute best to solve his problem.

Thirty years ago I would have ended the conversation by simply hanging up. Twenty years ago, I would have made a sarcastic remark, and then hung up.
But nowadays, I am a different man: a mellow, woke wimp. "Sure, bring it in, I'll fix it".

The watch arrived on my bench yesterday morning. A Tudor Pelagos with an in house movement.

Assessment

The first step, prior to any adjustment was to place the watch on auto winder, and let it settle at room temperature for 24 hours. After that, the watch was placed on the timing machine, in various positions. The goal was to establish whether the customer’s observation matched the actual timekeeping recorded by the timegrapher.

The watch showed a constant rate in all positions of +0 seconds per day, and a heathy amplitude. There was no deviation except for dial down, showing -1 second per day. However this value is within the tolerance and resolution error of the timegrapher.                         
Pre-adjustment

The watch strap was detached, case cleaned of gunk, rinsed and dried. The watch was then left to recover for another hour at room temperature.
Adjustment

In order to gain access to the regulator, the watch case had to be removed. Tudor's new calibre MT5612 has a free-sprung balance with four adjustment screws located radially to the balance wheel, and not accessible from the top of the movement.

The mechanism had to be extracted from the case.
The adjustment screws were factory set in position so that the balance wheel is poised perfectly. Theoretically, the time adjustment would require changing the position of at least two screws to prevent a degradation of poise.

Also, the screws were machined with custom-design heads so a custom design (in my case modified) regulating tool is required.

The first step was to experimentally determine the amount of rotation of each screw that would correlate to an adjustment of 1 second, which was approximately 15 degrees. After that, the watch was re-adjusted to +0, then two opposite regulating screws were adjusted (by moving them in towards the centre) by approximately 7 degrees.

Such a fine adjustment is done purely by ‘feeling’. After the adjustment, the timegrapher read a daily error of +1 to +2 seconds.
Post-adjustment

The movement was returned to it's case, secured, and once again, the watch was placed on the timing machine. Often, compressing the movement into the case could cause variation to the adjusted value. However in the case of this Tudor mechanism, the rate remained the same, with only a slight improvement in amplitude. The watch was then water pressure tested.

Time keeping verification

The time was set to mobile phone data network, and placed on the winder for the next seven days when the actual timekeeping error will be determined.

The expectation is that the watch will keep time at a rate of around +1 second per day.

Now, if you think that the purpose of this write up is to impress you with my determination to showcase the ability to squeeze a 1 second improvement out of an already perfectly factory tuned watch, then you are grossly mistaken.

I just need to hear from you how much should I charge for all this work, consisting of 45 minutes behind the bench, 20 minutes of email and phone consultations, 15 minutes of in person consultation, the admin work related to record keeping and for providing insurance coverage on a watch left in my care?

And was it worth it? You tell me.

Public clocks could be tricky

 

Recently, a 1960s wall clock arrived at our workshop. It sat on a church wall for almost 60 years until it died.

An electric clock which runs quietly – until it wore itself to death. The congregation decided to replace it with a modern clock, but after a year or so, they realised that the new clock is not the same as the old one.

It was hard to pinpoint what exactly was displeasing; after all, the replacement was similar in style and shape, more accurate and was doing it’s job, as intended - keeping the preacher aware that extending the ceremony beyond noon is not just inappropriate but downright unholy. Yes, the good folk loved their rules.

The decision was made to have the old clock restored, no matter what, and money was not an issue. Comfort and conformity has no price tag. Upon inspection, I told them what they already knew: the clock is dead and beyond repair. The only solution: a complete movement replacement. A bit of a compromise, but at least, the main body will be still preserved. “What about the hands?” – they asked, unison.

Fitting an old set of hand on a new clock is quite difficult. The old hands are too heavy for a modern mechanism. There was only one compromising solution: to rebuild the old mechanism. The repair took some time, and it involved both electrical re-coiling, as well as re-bushing (making new bearings).

As I type this, I am pleased to report that the clock is running and keeping perfect time. Yes, all original, all complete, exactly as per customer’s request. Soon it will be reunited with the faithful flock. The best of all: this rebuild is free of charge. The last thing you want upon arrival at the Pearly Gates is a heated discussion over an unpaid invoice.

Your wrist watch is your private business. A public clock – displayed for all to see the time – is a tricky beast. You better choose wisely.

The writeup today is primarily intended for watch enthusiasts who follow the NH manufactured in Australia project - those who already have an NH watch, or intend to add one to their collection.

However, even if your interest in watches is broader than an investment in micro brands, you may find the communique of interest. I certainly hope you would.

Creating a watch brand from scratch is an ambitious project. Watch brands come and go, and for the past hundred or so years, many watchmakers have tried to turn a rather generic product into an immortalized, lasting, multigenerational brand name. Most of them fail.

The handful of watchmakers who succeeded were not necessarily the best, nor the most advanced makers. The most successful were those who understood that a watch is far more than a precision timekeeper, or even a tool: essentially, a watch is a fashionable luxury item.

The best examples of 'luxury horology' are traditional brands like Cartier, Patek Philippe, Rolex and recently, Richard Mille. Brands which spend huge sums of money advertising their watches primarily as luxury status symbols.

If you are to predict which brand will outlast the competition: bet on the best marketer, not the best maker. And if I am to bet my last dollar on a brand that will be here in a hundred years from now, I would put it all on Cartier. The old money luxury brand, bold and assertive.

Being a watch brand is not enough. To outlast and outsell, the prerogative is to grow and metamorphise into a luxury brand.

Yet in reality, if luxury and status are the only reasons we buy watches, then we would all wear only Cartier and Rolex. But we do not. We are drawn to different brands for different, deeply personal reasons. Aesthetics, workmanship, ergonomics, practicality, design, longevity, affordability. A wonderful horological kaleidoscope!

As you are already aware, the reason why I have invested more than 10 years on building my own brand is to prove a single point: that a small, independent Australian watchmaker is as good as any Swiss brand trained watchmaker. And in many cases, much better. With the release of our NH55 Timascus watch, that point has been made and proven beyond doubt.

Of course, the timascus project was a culmination of ten years of learning, investment in manufacturing, and training of the next generation of machinists and watchmakers. Together, we achieved much more than what I initially dreamed and hoped for. We started with a watch project and ended up with a manufacturing ability to make components at a precision and complexity level that surpasses horology.

Which in itself is a strange place to be. The fork in the road: should we continue to make watches, spend another five years developing an in house movement, invest heavily in marketing and branding - or, make high precision parts for other industries?

In both cases, the manufacturing aspect is practically the same. Yet the financial outcome could not be more different. A watch, as a product, is fundamentally different to any other assembly of precision parts.
A watch is built to last for 50 or a hundred years, exquisitely finished, and requires regular servicing. Also, it is sold one at a time, and each sale is directly related to your investment in marketing.
On the other hand, a 100 GHz waveguide, as precise as a watch, has a life span of 3 years. After that it would be either non functional or obsolete. Each waveguide is sold before being made. Actually, our customers demand is five time higher than our maximum production output. The best of all: industrial parts are completely devoid of branding, advertising and marketing to the end user. Not to mention, again, that unlike watchmaking at small microbrand scales, manufacturing of industrial parts can be fully automated.

As there is no real commercial incentive to make watches, why in the world should we continue to make them? I have no rational answer to this question, yet I know that we must. 
The responsibility to continue learning, getting better, then passing that knowledge on is the only way to preserve not just our own independence, but the independence of the next generation of Australian watchmakers.
An independent watchmaker planting a microbrand is like a small organic farmer who grows his own produce, not just to feed his family and friends, but to preserve the environment, save the seeds and save the local biodiversity. Not profitable, yet priceless.

Every second of it
Earlier today, a visitor from Melbourne came in to check out the NH55. A subscriber to our newsletter and a follower of the ‘manufactured in Australia’ project. And once again, we talked about design, making, perfection, timascus, and guilloche; about precision and how difficult it is to turn an idea into a real, physical watch. 

He left impressed. And that is the only thing that matters. 

Quite frankly, and without fake modesty, as I type this, I am equally impressed with the outcome of the project we’ve poured our heart and soul into. NH55 is not just the most ‘made in Australia’ watch of all time but probably the last such watch in many years to come. It is a miracle, a crazy project that started ten years ago, that consumed every cent of investment at our disposal, and that required sacrifice only a person fighting for its existence is willing and able to do. But it was more than that – as we were making the watch, the watch was making us. The knowledge acquired, our ability to design, shape, and make, and our capability to manufacture at such an incredible level of precision is knowledge that could not be acquired in any other way. Priceless, ultimately rewarding, multigenerational, never to be forgotten.

And yes, it was worth it. We’ve promised, and we have delivered. Every second of it.

The best of all: our journey has just begun.

Should you invest in the most Australian watch ever? Don’t rush with the answer. But if you wish to see the watch, be impressed, and dare I say – be inspired, then stop by and check out the NH55 in person. It will be worth your time, every second of it, guaranteed.

The graceful butterfly

 

It is no mystery why butterflies are so often depicted in the visual arts: what could be more beautiful than the brilliant colour and pleasing symmetry of the wings, or the playful freedom of flight? The butterfly is also a symbol of love. The Greeks thought of them as a representation of mind and soul.

Yet this dial is a masterpiece on another level. The dial was made with a technique known as 'Ramolayage'. It consists of removing the material to model the relief, usually done manually on a 'guilloche-style' lathe. Reserved for the most elaborate AP and Vacheron watches, rarely seen in 'common' brands like Omega. 

The technique is also known as brocading. Brocade is a decorative shuttle-woven fabric, often made in coloured silks and sometimes with gold and silver threads. The name comes from the Italian broccato meaning "embossed cloth".

Many steps ahead

 

When it comes to trade and commerce, we live in strange times. We are swimming against the tide of fake news, market manipulation, senseless tariffs and global uncertainty. Unchartered, shark infested waters. Good business news with optimistic outlooks are few and far between.

Last night, finally, some positivity. Once again, I was invited to the annual SEIKO dealers dinner, a rather low key, almost private event. Seiko's way of saying 'we appreciate your business'. A handful of top performing independent Seiko retailers, from all states, familiar faces, a friendly atmosphere.

The core message was delivered in a typical Japanese way: modestly, but to the point. The last financial year was Seiko Australia's best on books. Seiko is not just doing great, but setting new sales records. It feels fantastic being a part of the winning team.

More good news; thanks to a decision made by Japanese headquarters, all the profit generated in Australia, stays in Australia. Seiko's plan is to invest in advertising and training. Smart.

Yet the detail that impressed me the most: if you are a Seiko employee with 10 years of service, you are still a youngster. Most of their sales executives, sales reps, state managers and technicians have been with Seiko for fifteen, twenty and some even thirty years.
In a world where corporate loyalty is measured in months, where climbing the ladder means relentless skips from job to job, Seiko employees are happy to stay, learn, be trained, remain loyal. To us, they come across as being genuinely fulfilled, rewarded and excited. Their contribution is appreciated and valued. What more can someone ask from their employer?

The unspoken words of the event were even more powerful. Not once was there a mention of competition, Switzerland, or other brands. True to its core founding value, from the days of Kintaro Hattori - "Always one step ahead of the rest.”

Powerful industry leaders lead, fearlessly. The Seiko way, for many decades to come.

Locked in time

 

As I type this, in front of me is a Rebelde Titanium watch. A timepiece which represents a significant milestone on the road to independent watchmaking. The first titanium watch was assembled on the 14th of March 2018 and was immediately nicknamed ‘Tito’. I still remember that moment as if it was yesterday: a huge sense of relief that the project was a success, that all the components manufactured by numerous overseas suppliers are not just on my bench, but that they are manufactured to strict tolerances, and they fit perfectly, working together in harmony.

TiD was my first attempt to ‘deal’ with titanium. I remember months of correspondence with Japanese titanium case makers, asking dozens and dozens of questions – to which I had no answer. What titanium grade do you require? What finishes? Tolerances? Water resistance of each individual surface; the material properties of Teflon and rubber seals; their expansion properties under pressure and temperature. What type of coating, polish, scratch resistance level? Of course, I knew what I wanted, but I had no technical manufacturing knowledge to communicate my requirements to the Japanese in the way they expected. TiD was not just another white label watch; it was a genuine ‘designed and assembled in Australia’ project, started from scratch.

When it comes to the mechanism, Tito took the Rebelde brand to another level. Tanya and I travelled to Switzerland in the search for a movement maker who could offer the highest possible finishes and decoration for the trustworthy Unitas 6497. And we found it, tucked away in an unassuming wooden farm house in the heart of Canton of Bienne, was a movement design studio run by a husband and wife. We clicked instantly. “How many movements do you need”, they asked. “5,000? 10,000?” We needed one hundred. “We can do 100. No problem”. Of course, such a tiny production run came at a significant cost, but Tanya and I replied with ‘no problem’ too.

It took the movement maker almost a year to deliver one of the most beautiful honey coloured movements I’ve ever seen, finished with a circular cote de Genève. The solid 18K balance wheel was mesmerizing, perfectly balanced. The kind of movement you find in 1970s Omega watches, built in that very same village 60 years ago.

The small production run of only 50 TiD watches cost far more than we ever expected, and definitely more than we could afford, but the sacrifice was well worth it. We were proud to offer a NH watch which was as good as any Swiss watch, at a lower price. Yes, completely designed, assembled and adjusted in Australia. The original release price in 2018 was $3,500. Most of the watches were sold straight away, except for three, which were then priced at $4,000. Since then we’ve moved onto other projects, introducing new models: 45mm was simply too large for many of our customers.

The last three watches are firmly locked in time. Today, the production cost of 50 titanium cases would be tens of thousands of dollars. The mechanism of this finish – even more. Actually, the Swiss watch studio which helped us in production is no longer in business. For any small independent makers, life is always on the edge; being exceptionally good means very little in a turbulent world driven by relentless advertising and branding.

I am very proud of TiD Tito. I consider myself lucky that it bears my name on the dial. Completing a project of this magnitude in a very short period of time, on a limited budget was only possible thanks to your support; to Australian watch lovers who trusted us and supported our rebellion.

If you wish to invest in a watch which upholds all the core values of a true independent brand, then TiD is definitely the way to go. The price is $4,000. If you wish to add a hand made Australian watch box, then please add $275. Delivery is free of charge. Each watch comes with a five year guarantee and a life time of gratitude for your support.

A useless watch review

 

Writing watch reviews is not my thing. For a number of reasons. First – and most obvious – I am in the business of selling watches, so I will only review a watch I intend to sell. There is, and there always will be, a subconscious element of coming across as non-impartial, biased, prejudiced, or even unfair.

The second reason; I am not just a dealer but an actual watchmaker. Watchmakers look at watches in a very different way to everyone else. The more you know about watches, the more you see, handle and repair, the less enthusiastic you are about branding, heritage, resale value and the "horological boutiqueness" that makes the world of horology go round.

The third reason. At the end of the day, even the best watch review is useless. The most eloquent words and the most artistic photos are not a substitute to holding a watch in your hand, examining it under the light, strapping it on the wrist, wearing it for a year or two, and then - and only then, judging it for what it really is. A masterpiece of engineering, beauty and design - or just another mass produced watch.

Sometimes the best review is just a nod with a smile.

And this is my review for a Seiko Astron, the limited edition titanium, ceramic, sapphire and rose gold, French navy blue chronograph: a nod of the utmost admiration.

If I am to sum it up in just one word: perfection. You are looking at the most perfectly polished, painted, coated, anodized, printed, milled, ground and anglaged surfaces on any watch, which are the result of decades of perfecting the art of watchmaking. You are literally looking at a watch that can not be further refined, improved and perfected.

Timekeeping? Beyond perfection. Way beyond the accuracy you’ll ever need, or even want. It’s an Astron.

To those who love watches, precision engineering, design and functionality: you are lucky to be around at the exciting time when humans have reached the pinnacle of precision manufacturing and precision timekeeping, embodied in the hundred year old form of a wrist watch, which displays time in a six hundred year old analogue form – with three hands showing hours, minutes and seconds. A format that has proven itself deeply embedded in our own perception of what time is, and what it means to us.

Yes, it’s an Astron: a watch for those who care and understand, who appreciate and respect time itself.

Repairs and Servicing

 

In the wake of yesterday’s newsletter piece about Vacheron’s newest most complicated watch, we received several emails with enquiries in regards to servicing. To answer all of those questions and any more you may have, it would probably be a good idea to make clear our repair/restoration services.

Before we get into the details of who, what, and when, let’s have a quick look at vocabulary.

A restoration is required for a watch in a state anywhere between vintage no longer working and near destroyed regardless of age. Generally it is the most amount of work required to generate a good result. Removal of rust and other water ingress type damage, manufacture of replacement components, hand finishing partially/aesthetically damaged components, extensive searching for replacement parts online and through industry connections (this can sometimes take weeks or months depending on the watch). Then any exterior work can begin based upon the customer’s preferences.
Here is one recorded example of a restoration undertaken here in our workshop: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r8g7tyzRjDc&t=201s&ab_channel=MasterWatchmaker

An overhaul is the term generally used for the work required to ‘service’ a watch. Service and overhaul are quite interchangeable terms in this industry. It involves a complete disassembly of the watch down to the very last screw, cleaning, making any adjustments/replacements to worn components, reassembly and re-lubrication, and then any adjustment/testing required to be confident in the watch’s performance for the next several years. On top of that it may involve re-finishing the exterior of the watch if that is what you prefer. It is a pretty serious undertaking even though it is the minimum work we will perform on a watch. Comparable to taking your car in for a service and the mechanic takes it apart down to the piston rings. But what work on your prized possession shouldn’t be this in depth?
This video will give you more of an insight into the work that takes place during an overhaul: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SCmBT3OSKcQ&t=458s&ab_channel=MasterWatchmaker 

What we do best…

We provide a service tailored to our customers. The restoration or general servicing of a watch with very specific priorities at the forefront of every question asked and decision made. We aim for good working order, whilst retaining as much of the original watch as possible; both in regards to number of parts and aesthetic condition. We cooperate with our customers as much as possible in this way, making suggestions for what work should or could be done.

What do we work on?

Our main body of work lies in vintage to fairly modern Rolex and Omega. Think from 1940s pieces right up to about the 2010s. The golden age of the humble Rolex and Omega’s power-house manufacture era. Too far past this is where the spare parts restriction becomes an issue. If your watch is too modern i.e. generally 2015 or later, we simply cannot find any spare parts that may be required for the work to be completed to our standards. Hopefully in ten years’ time it will be a different story. We also do some other Swiss models where parts are available. Generally speaking if you have a quartz watch, you are fine to drop it in for a battery. If you are unsure whether your watch is something we can help you with, the best thing to do is send the watch’s details and maybe a photo or two to Gemma at: [email protected]

What don’t we work on?

Anything from Richemont group, or micro brand ‘watchmakers’. Parts cannot be purchased directly and finding them online is incredibly rare. Fake watches are an obvious no. Watches half finished by yourself or someone else? Sorry, no. Can you swap the bezel on my… No.

How long, how much?

We generally quote four weeks once the work actually begins. One to complete the overhaul, two for testing, and the last week as a buffer for awaiting parts if any are ordered. As for price. This is decided upon seeing the watch at our premises, after a quick inspection and rating of the watch’s performance. We can however provide you a rough guide here. For overhaul:

Vintage/modern, time or time and date Omega: $750 plus any parts required as a baseline.
Vintage/modern, time or time and date Rolex (non-sport models): $900 plus any parts required as a baseline.
Omega automatic chronographs: $800 plus any parts required as a baseline.
Omega Moonwatch variants: $1,200 plus any parts required as a baseline.
Rolex gents’ sports varieties: $1,200 - $1,500 plus any parts required as a baseline.

When should you bring your watch in?

If you notice a sudden drop in performance regardless of when it was last serviced - timekeeping, or power reserve. If there is fog or water in your watch - ASAP. If you have dropped or bumped your watch. If it has been somewhere between five and seven years after its last service, regardless of issues being present - not too much longer please.

We do give all repairs a one year warranty on performance to ensure that the watch continues to run smoothly for years to come.

The 53rd state

 

According to the most recently published KPMG report, manufacturing organisations in Australia are "confronting unprecedented challenges in a turbulent and uncertain business environment".

There are a number of burning issues for the Australian manufacturing sector. The top one is identified as "ageing capital costly to maintain, slower in output and less efficient". By capital, they mean machinery. We are driving a 1995 Mercedes with 700,000km on the clock.

The second issue: "outdated technology impacting growth and response speed". Our Mercedes is not just on its last legs, but it is an ex-rental.

And then, there are the usual suspects: shrinking profit margins due to rising energy prices, fluctuating commodity costs and skills shortages across many business areas.

KPMG sums it up nicely and politely: the Australian manufacturing sector is facing strong headwinds. Basically, you would be mad to invest in any form of manufacturing in Australia.

Here is a graphics presentation of where we are heading - the percentage of manufacturing as a portion of total GDP.
Only 5.4% of our national yearly product comes from manufacturing. Actually, out of the top ten contributors to our wealth, manufacturing is the last one on the list! 
On the other hand, Manufacturing is essential to national sovereign capability. If we can't make it here, we are vulnerable and dependant. The question is - do we have a national industrial strategy to get us there? Or should we just give up manufacturing altogether, focus on mining and finance - in the hopes that someone else will take care of us, for decades to come?

It is easier to make a watch than to sell a watch

Proof? Walk down the Sydney watch district: tens of thousands of Omega, JLC, Breitling, Hublot, Cartier, Panerai and Vacheron sitting quietly on display - for months and years, awaiting patiently to be placed on the wrist of a watch enthusiast.
'But what about Rolex' - you ask. What about it? Rolex spends hundreds of millions of dollars on advertising, year after year, decade after decade. And even Rolex has billions of dollars of watches in stock, sitting and waiting to be sold.

There are very few products out there that sell themselves. But even brute advertising has only a limited effect on a potential buyer. What works better than a glossy full page advertisement, is a write-up in the form of a 'testimonial' or 'recommendation' or a watch review by a 'trusted watch expert'.
Disguised as a non-advert, it is actually nothing more than a fully paid commercial message pushed down your throat, coated with a thin layer of Swissness.

This is how it is, this is how luxury works, and there is nothing we can do about it. Branding and resale value counts more than workmanship, performance, horological complexity or even the overall quality of a watch.

Quite often, I am approached by newspaper publishers and online influencers who blatantly offer clicks, editorials, favourable reviews, right down to testimonials. "You have such a powerful story, a great Australian made watch - and we are ready to help. Let’s share the excitement with our readers and followers." But I would rather poke both my eyes with the sharpest Dumont tweezers than to allow a self-proclaimed watch expert tell my story.

Not because I am blind to see the correlation between money 'invested' in advertising and number of watches sold, but because those brand experts have no clue about watchmaking. They have no idea what it takes to make a watch in a small workshop, in a country with no watchmaking heritage. Those who are interested in Australian watches, and Australian watchmakers would not benefit from hearing that story from a self-proclaimed expert who does not understand it and does not believe it himself. I'd rather not sell a watch than to sell it with the help of Judas.

Let me give you just one example.
In front of me is a newly completed batch of dials for MK2. This dial is the pinnacle of our in-house manufacturing. Titanium, guilloche, anodized, printed, with in house titanium feathered indices. And it is perfect, in every way, to the smallest detail visible only under a microscope. In the entire history of Australia, no other watchmaker, ever, has produced a watch dial of this complexity and beauty, and especially not in an exotic material like Titanium. This is a fact. I can talk for hours about it, I can show you the processes - from design to final stage of welding the indices - I can show you the machines, and the people who actually made this dial. I can tell you how painful it is to give birth to a watch dial. There are thousands of watchmakers in the world who can make a watch, but only a handful who can make dial like this one. So why in the world would I pay anyone to re-tell my story?

For the past ten years, our goal was to make a point. To show the world - and especially Swiss brands - that we can make a watch in Australia. Not any watch - but a watch that would be as good as a Swiss made watch.
We are not there yet - but we have already proven that we can do it. The results speak for themselves. How many watches we will make, and how many we will sell is completely irrelevant. I don't care. I could not care less.
Sales and money does not matter in the slightest.

What I do care about is to make the owner of an NH watch the proudest watch ambassador. Someone who will wear my watch knowing that he wears the best, most unique, most special watch ever manufactured in Australia. That's what I care about. What about you?

At a crossroad...

The past two years could be simply summed up as years of exciting discoveries and team building. After setting up the micro machining workshop, we have discovered that the high precision parts we make are highly sought after in space, telecommunications and the medical industries. And it is not just the parts themselves that excite our customers - it is our ability to work closely with them in the field of research and development, allowing them to take their project to next level.

Here is just one example of such co-operation. A well established customer has approached us last year with a request for a part that they've been struggling with for quite some time. The part is complex in the sense that it requires not just precision, but extreme consistency, meaning that a part made today will be identical to one made six months ago as to one to be made in a year from now.
They have tried to have it made in Germany, Switzerland and the US. The results were good, but not perfect. Consequently, due to the lack of consistency, they were struggling to prove the theoretical concept in a practical way, and then to fine tune it further. They knew that the magic happens in a region where the "junction holes" are between 70 and 75 microns in size, but the parts they were getting were simply too inconsistent, varying from batch to batch.

After a few attempts, and for the first time in the life of their project, we were delivering both 70 and 75 micron holes. They were over the moon. Not only have we beaten our competitors, but we are also able to hit even more specific dimensions - we can make perfect parts 'on demand' with holes of 72 and 74 microns in size. We took them to the next level. Why? Because our young team is crazy eager to prove ourselves as makers of parts that others call 'impossible to make'. And the more impossible parts we make, the more customers we have knocking on our door.

The problem is, we have no capacity to scale up, to make parts in volume and fully satisfy a customer's demands. Those high precision parts take hours to make. For example, running both Kern mills for 18 hours per day would produce 25 to 30 parts per week. Our customer needs 500. And this is just one project, by one customer, in one industry.

Being at the crossroads means at least two options:
One, to continue to grow organically, and stay at a prototyping service level. Zero risk, satisfying but painfully slow.
Option two, to seize the opportunity to expand; to double our manufacturing capacity. Hard and pricey.

Only time will tell...

Skull and Skeleton

KENTARO x SEIKO x AUSTRALIA
"Kentaro Yoshida, an artist originally from a small fishing village in Toyama, Japan, moved to Australia at 18 to embrace a new lifestyle. Drawn to the opportunity to learn English and enjoy the sunny beaches, Kentaro has since made Australia his home, now living and working on the Northern Beaches of Sydney.

Kentaro’s passion for both traditional and digital media shines through in his pastel-coloured artwork, which often features bold lines, quirky characters, and a light-hearted, beachside humour. He specialises in hand-painted art, creating everything from large-scale murals to intricate watercolour paintings."
Seiko 5 Sports x Kentaro Yoshida Limited Edition Collection

Created in collaboration with renowned artist, this Seiko 5 Sports series draws inspiration from Kentaro’s artistic journey in Australia, reflecting the landscapes, culture, and lifestyle that have shaped his distinctive vision.

Tribute to Time Through Kentaro’s Eyes: “Time Goes by Forever”

Kentaro Yoshida was commissioned to create the original artwork, “Time Goes by Forever,” as the foundation for this collaboration with Seiko Australia. The theme embodies the concept of time as an endless cycle, reflecting the continuous motion of life. Drawing from elements of nature—Clouds & Sky, Sun, Moon & Beach, and Wild Plants & Flowers—Kentaro’s artwork captures the essence of growth, change, and the inevitability of time’s passage.

The collection’s overarching concept revolves around time’s perpetual cycles: the sun rising and setting, plants blooming and withering, waves continuously rolling in, and clouds drifting across the sky. These motifs remind us that while time moves forward relentlessly, it is up to each of us to decide how to spend it. Each piece in the collection weaves these themes into its design, creating a cohesive narrative that celebrates the duality of time: both relentless and precious.
Three Timepieces Inspired by Nature’s Elements
SRPL25K: Clouds & Sky
Symbolising fleeting, transient moments, the “Clouds & Sky” timepiece features a sophisticated dark chromatic dial that evokes the depth of the skies. Complemented by a durable black silicone strap, it offers a sleek and timeless aesthetic.

SRPL26K: Sun, Moon & Beach
Reflecting the rhythm of the ocean and celestial transitions, the “Sun, Moon & Beach” watch shines with a yellow gold stainless steel case and matching bracelet. Its design captures the warmth and brilliance of sunlit beaches and the endless motion of ocean waves.

SRPL27K: Wild Plants & Flowers
Representing growth and renewal, this model features a vibrant green dial adorned with intricate motifs inspired by wild plants and blooming flowers. A stainless steel case paired with a green nylon strap creates a harmonious, monochromatic design.
Symbolism and Craftsmanship

Each timepiece incorporates Kentaro’s signature skull and skeleton motifs, seamlessly integrated into the designs. Powered by the reliable Calibre 4R36 movement, they offer a 41-hour power reserve for enduring performance. With a case diameter of 42.5mm and a thickness of 13.4mm, the timepieces provide a bold yet practical design. Water resistance up to 100 metres ensures durability for everyday adventures.
A Limited Edition for Collectors

Completing the design, each watch features a case back engraved with Kentaro’s signature logo and is presented in a limited edition tin box that complements the artwork’s colour theme.

A super rare opportunity for Australian collectors!
Price: $695 each

Pictures tell a thousand words
I mentioned in an earlier newsletter that we have been working on the next NHW release- every watch we’ve released since the NH1 in 2018 has felt like a horological pinnacle for our small outfit, but this next watch, what we are tentatively calling the NH4, feels like a quantum leap.

Today we (successfully!) tested the second prototype of the NH4 movement- a watch in which we now manufacture one of that hardest, most finnicky components in, the oscillator. The balance wheel, and regulation assembly is mind bogglingly tough to make, but instead of regaling you with the manufacturing stories, I’ll just show you some pictures of the last 2 weeks of prototyping.

Big stud

 

For the last 12 months we have been working on our next release from NHW. While it's still far too early to talk about the watch, I can say that it's pushing the limits of our manufacturing, in the best way possible.

In this photo below, you can see a component called a "stud". It's an incredibly small part that holds onto the hairspring of the watch. Like all components in a watch, the stud is very tightly toleranced, and requires the utmost care in design, manufacturing, assembly and decoration. 
Our in-house, NHW stud is made from titanium, which is very rare - usually studs are made from either steel, which is magnetic and may influence the very fine motion of the hairspring, or from brass. Titanium offers superior strength, anti-magnetic properties, and is light, corrosion resistant and holds a very good aesthetic finish. 

Manufacturing something this small is a feat of our machinists here at NHW. Burrs, cracks, nicks, or any other defect totally destroy the function or aesthetic quality of the part. Even a small scratch, a 10th of the size of your hair, would render this stud useless!

10 years ago if you told me that this part was going to be in my palm, made by our internal workshop... I wouldn't have believed it, but here we are. Modern artisanal watchmaking, Manufactured in Australia.

Crème de la crème

 

ANCA is Australia’s only machine tool builder. Established 50 years ago by Pat Boland and Pat McCluskey, ANCA has been manufacturing the machines that manufacture the tools that are used in CNC machines worldwide and across all industries, to make parts. In short, ANCA are at the bleeding edge of the manufacturing chain. It would not be a stretch to say that ANCA have influenced every single object around you in one way or another.

Based in Melbourne, and employing over 1000 people worldwide, ANCA believes strongly in Australian Manufacturing. NH Micro is a supplier to ANCA, and last year I had the pleasure to walk through their manufacturing facilities in Bayswater North - truly incredible. They are completely vertically integrated, making and assembling nearly every component of their machine in-house. This is a level of industrial strength that you would only see in Japan, Germany, Switzerland and the US.
 
Just this weekend, the two Pat’s – Boland and McCluskey, were honoured by our government, each being presented with the Medal of the Order of Australia (OAM), in recognition of their achievements in Australian Manufacturing.

The story of ANCA is far more in-depth than just a few paragraphs here, and to capture it, the company has filmed a documentary sharing their journey. It is one of the most inspirational Australian Manufacturing stories I’ve ever seen. I can highly recommend watching it.

Update from the workshop

 

Manufacturing complex parts for our watches, as well as for industries outside of watchmaking, requires complex metrology, too. In this case we are seeing what the limits are of our new Zeiss Coordinate Measuring Machine (CMM). 

CMM's use tactile measuring devices in the form of ruby spheres to very accurately "feel" how big (or small) a part is. On our new CMM from Zeiss, we've been able to use this method to measure parts with a certainty below 1um - that's such a small value, it's difficult to even comprehend! For reference, a human blood cell is around 7um in diameter. Tactile measurement has worked incredibly well for us, and generally works very well when the feature sizes are relatively large - so you can use a large ruby sphere (called a stylus). But, part of the reason of why we purchased this particular machine was due to its very unique ability to use incredibly small styli. Generally these ruby spheres are around 1mm in diameter, or larger - however this can pose problems when the parts you are trying to measure are very small in and of themselves! For example, measuring a hole that is 0.5mm in diameter, you would need a ruby that is significantly smaller than the hole size! 

Last week we pulled out our new 0.2mm stylus - this ruby is just two sheets of paper in diameter, or about 3 human hairs wide! It's dwarfed against the tip of a ballpoint pen, and requires a special ceramic sphere to calibrate it in our Zeiss CMM, shown below.
These probe tips or styli are manufacturing marvels themselves - here is a great video walk through of how these tiny measuring devices are manufactured!

When we set out to do watch manufacturing in Australia, I never thought we would be doing this!

The first and only watchmaker-manufacturer in Australia?

Do you know that starting a watch repair business in Australia requires no formal education, certification, or licensing, or even experience? You can call yourself a watchmaker, print a bunch of business cards, and start a business literally today. Yes, you can call yourself even a Master Watchmaker! And if you find repairing watches a bit boring, then you may skip that altogether and start your own brand—and show Rolex how it’s done.

I am not making this up. In Australia, we have a number of watchmakers who lack both skills and qualifications, yet they are visibly present, advertising themselves for years as ‘independent makers.’. 

About ten years ago, when the Rebelde project took off, one of the driving forces behind the project was a desire to establish the NH brand in a way that it could face fierce competition. I always thought, well, if I can start a watch brand, then surely there would be other watchmakers who can do the same. I was expecting plenty of competition from within the industry but also from individuals who are mechanically minded, have sufficient funds to invest, and are willing to learn the trade. It turned out that ten years later, we are the only people capable of making watch components and complete watches in Australia.

The purpose of this short article is to provide you with facts. To empower you, so you can differentiate and assess horological ‘manufacturing’ claims yourself. After all, as an Australian watch collector and enthusiast, you should be armed with the facts.

Here is a short list of some of the NH watchmaking capabilities developed in recent years. 

1. Design, reverse engineering, and engineering of complex, multi-component devices

Multiple workstations. We use the same CAD software as used in the Patek factory.
2. Milling

Ability to manufacture various parts using five-axis CNC mills. We use the same CNC machines that make key watch components for Lange, Rolex, and IWC.
3. Turning

We are capable of making cylindrical parts by CNC turning, ranging in size from a fraction of a millimetre to the size of a watch crown. Again, we use the same automatic lathe as Swiss watch manufacturers.
4. Wire EDM

The cutting-edge technology! Wire EDM allows us to make not just some of the most complex parts that could not be made manually, but also to prototype various one-off parts.
5. Gear hobbing

The ability to manufacture watch gears was traditionally the most challenging aspect of watchmaking. Even today, only a selected few can claim true in-house gear hobbing fame. Our CNC gear hobbing machine was built by the Swiss leader in the field of gear making, the very same model used by top Swiss brands like Patek, Vacheron, and Rolex.
6. Thermic treatment of machined parts

Extremely challenging! We are mastering it slowly but steadily.
7. Tool and fixture making

This is a completely separate field of engineering and manufacturing than the watchmaking itself. Yes, we make our own tools and holders.
8. Grinding

Precision grinding is an art form. While we use CNC grinders, the grinding process is still a combination of computer and manual skills.
9. Case manufacturing

With the NH55 project, we have completely immersed ourselves in the manufacturing of complex watch cases. We are capable of making cases in stainless steel, titanium, composite resins, and even ceramic.
10. Micro-particle blasting and polishing

Both internal and external watch components are finished using various applications. We make things beautiful.
11. Guilloche

A horological art form where precision and intricacy take the enjoyment of watchmaking to a completely new level. Unlike Swiss watch dial manufacturers, who use soft metals to create guilloche patterns, our specialty is guilloche in titanium and Timascus. We are extremely proud of our ability to manufacture dials and hands in-house.
12. Anodizing

The ability to turn a dull alloy into a fireworks of colour is what makes NH different from most other watchmakers. Anodizing is tricky! It takes lots of skills and patience to master it. 
13. Dial printing

Yes, completely in-house! We print our dials using the same printing machine used by Omega! Down to exact Swiss paint…
14. Measuring

Over the years we have heavily invested in cutting-edge, high-precision measuring equipment. Our ability to measure manufactured components in the submicron range provides us with an unparalleled ability to make components in the submicron range. Without precise measuring, there will be no precision manufacturing.
During this year, we had the pleasure to share with you a number of exciting projects of our involvement as a key manufacturer in medical, space, electronics, and scientific projects—for local and international customers and universities. It is important to highlight the obvious: that our manufacturing capability is first and foremost a result of our ability to manufacture watch components and complete watches in Australia.

Again, the purpose of this short article is not to brag about what we do. We still see ourselves merely as students of horology on a journey that will take a lifetime—or two—to master.

What an exciting journey it is! The Australian-made watch is here—and if you wish to join us, we are looking forward to serving you in years to come.

Happy Watchmaking and Happy New Year,
NH & the team

What makes a watch "collectable"?

 

Definition
A collectable refers to an item worth significantly more than it was initially sold for because of its rarity or popularity.

Are wrist watches collectable?
Only a tiny fraction of all watches in circulation are collectable, have collectable potential, and are worth collecting. The vast majority of watches are intended to be simply worn on the wrist for practical reasons (because they tell time!) or as a fashion / jewellery piece. 

What makes a watch a 'collectable'?
There are a few 'key ingredients'. Rarity (small production run), popularity ('iconic model'), association with a celebrity or historical event, being made by a reputable / famous maker or a brand.

What is important?
Condition, condition, condition. That relates to all aspects of the physical, mechanical and aesthetical properties of a watch. A watch 'put together' from bits and pieces which may be original, but from a different era would be far less desirable than one which contains parts that started life together on the assembly line.
A watch which comes with original box, certificate, instruction manual and guarantee card is regarded as a complete set. Such pieces are highly desirable by collectors. Obviously, a watch has to keep time to be regarded as a watch.

What else?
A collectable watch is one that is well documented and well researched, down to the most minute detail. Reference books, historical sales records, manufacturer's catalogues, ownership data, provenance - all the 'supporting' information associated with a brand and model - to help us determine why two seemingly identical pieces vary in price, often significantly. 

Practical example
Here is an example of a watch regarded as a perfect collectable piece in the entry level price range.

Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch, Apollo 17.
The ref. 3574.51.00 is a limited edition of 3000 pieces introduced in 2002.
While the dial is the same as the regular 3570.50.00, it features a special caseback commemorating the 1972 Apollo XVII mission and E.A. Cernan being the last man to set foot on the moon.

Issue: 3,000 watches, individually numbered. No 0161/3000. Sold new in 2004.

Overall condition: very fine, 9.8/10.
This rating means that while the watch has been worn, it was worn sporadically, by a careful owner. Very lightly polished, showing no external imperfections. The dial and hands are spotless 10/10. The watch is an excellent timekeeper. The chronograph function: perfect. Water resistant. 

Full set.
The watch comes with original commemorative box which itself is in exceptional condition, the outer box, the plastic hang tag showing model reference number and serial number, intact Certificate of Authenticity, numbered. Also, it comes with original the Operating Instruction booklet, International warranty card correctly stamped, showing the date of sale and dealers details, movement serial number and model reference, and pictogram card.

Value
While we have no crystal ball to predict the future market trends, this watch is a perfect example of a rare, well documented, historically important model by Omega. A complete set like this will always find a keen buyer / investor, today, as well in the years to come. The event commemorated by this issue still stands as an unbroken record of human achievement - for the past 52 years, no human has stepped on the moon. And even if somehow we do have a manned lunar mission, such a milestone would only reinforce the historical importance of this piece.

In my opinion, there is plenty of potential for further growth in popularity of the Cernan Moonwatch. Best of all: a piece like this could be enjoyed and worn by a careful owner for many years to come, without further affecting the overall condition. 

Not only you can have your cake - and eat it, but finding a better example than this one could be a daunting task, especially in this price range.

1974 Citizen Cosmotron 7804
I bought this one with a plan to service and spruce up and sell on time-tees.com On arrival although looking dull and having a scratched crystal I thought the dial looked good. As you can see there is definitely potential under that aged crystal. I immediately removed the caseback to now inspect the movement. These […]

Seiko Type II 7123-7010 1980
This was a watch I picked up in order to sell on www.time-tees.com but once it arrived and I worked on it I thought it was nice enough to add to my already overwhelming collection! Like all good projects this one arrived as a non runner but on inspection the movement looked pretty clean visually […]

Seiko 6106-8430 July 1979

Bulova Accutron 214 ‘Spaceview’
This one is a bit of a grail watch for me. I own many 218 Accutron tuning forks but until now the 214 has eluded me. That is until this one came up for sale in a Japanese auction with crap pictures and no description. As I like a challenge I jumped at the chance […]

Citizen Hisonic
This is probably one of the most dramatic transformations I’ve done on an Accutron movement! It’s a Citizen Hisonic from the 1970s with a wacky case shape and what I can only describe as a granite dial. Superbly retro so that’s got my name all over it. As you can see its in pretty rough […]

Citizen Hisonic Snowflake Dial
Here is a superb find! I really like Citizen Hisonic watches. They are running the Bulova Accutron 218 tuning fork movement under licence back in the 70s. This one I bought in Japan with only poor photo to go on. Took a chance and when it arrived I was happy with the dail and that […]

This is a small watch only about 30mm in diameter yet it packed a heck of a punch historically. The A11 was a watch commissioned by the US military during world war II. There was a requirement for a watch that had to be a good quality reliable 15 jewel or more movement that offered […]

Seiko 3803-7060 (1972)
This is quite a rare Seiko from 1972 as this was the first year of production of a 3803 movement which is a very early quartz watch. Seiko invented the firs quartz watch, the Astron in 1969, I have actually handled one and trust me they are extremely rare watches! A 1972 3803 is still […]
