Watch repair tools for the jobs you can do at home
A watch rarely stops working all at once. More often the battery runs down, the bracelet sits loose on the wrist or a case screw works its way free. The tooling on this page is meant for those moments: stainless steel pieces kept together in a carrying case, with the full make-up given on the product page.

Three jobs a watch repair tool kit takes on
The product page names them: battery replacement, strap adjustment and minor repairs. None asks for a workbench. What each one does ask for is the right piece in your hand at the right moment, which is the argument for a set rather than a single tool bought when something already needs fixing.
A watchmaker's tool set in a carrying case
The kit holds sixteen tools in stainless steel, with a silver finish: precision screwdrivers, a sturdy case opener, pliers, and the accessories that belong to the same operations. The case counts as much as its contents. Small parts roll, and a watch screw that reaches the floor is rarely seen again.
Matching the operation to the tool
| Battery replacement | Opening the case back, then lifting the cell with pliers rather than fingers |
|---|---|
| Strap adjustment | Reaching the case screws and the fittings that hold the strap |
| Minor repairs | Tightening what has worked loose and refitting what has come away |
Changing a strap for a different look
A strap change is the quickest way to make a familiar watch feel new, and the precision screwdrivers are what keep it quick. It also works the other way round: pick the watch first and the strap becomes a choice of material, as it does across the silicone, fabric and faux-leather bracelets.
Where to stop
Work on a clear, well-lit surface, away from anything a spring or a screw could roll under. A case back that resists is telling you something, and forcing it marks the metal for good. Hand the watch over to a watchmaker when the resistance does not give, and whenever the watch has to be made water-resistant again after opening. Everything short of that stays within reach for the models in the range.
