• DIY Watch Club Pro Watchmaking Tool Set

  Updated: MAY 2025 

  If you have done any watchmaking, then you know how important watchmaker’s tools are. The quality of the tools directly impacts the quality of the watch assembled.

  There are really cheap, cut-corner tools that barely get the job done, and there are Swiss-made versions that most of us (even professionals) don’t need. We strive to strike the right balance, so you can confidently control tiny components and build a high-quality watch without spending an arm and a leg on tools.

In-house curated, designed and manufactured

This tool set combines carefully sourced tools with our own in-house designed tools. The following tools are designed by us:

• Watchmaker’s screwdriver with ball bearings and interchangeable blades. We carefully tested different thicknesses for the best grip while minimizing the risk of applying too much torque when using smaller blades.
  
• Watch hand removal set A, which doubles as prying tools. This set is for larger, tougher hands and can also be used to pry off case backs or bezels for watch modding.
  
• Watch hand removal set B, designed specifically for chronograph watch hand removal. The polished angled tip and sharp blade help with smaller watch hands and make removal of center watch hands easier when small seconds or other hands are installed on the side.
  
• Spring bar (strap) removal tool with both forked and pointed tips. We’ve also designed screw-in caps to protect the tool tips so you can carry this tool around safely.
