Sixteen watchmaking tools held on a single card, each one labelled: two case openers, a set of pin punches, a small hammer, non-magnetic tweezers, long nose pliers and a precision screwdriver.
Enough to lift a case back, replace a dead battery or take a link out of a bracelet at the kitchen table. The metal parts are silver, the handles blue and black.
Two jobs bring most people to a set like this: a watch that has stopped because the battery is flat, and a bracelet that sits two links too long on the wrist. The Biao Zhun card handles both, and because every piece is labelled on the card, you are not guessing which end goes where. The metal is silver, the only colour listed for this model, with two blue handles and a black block for contrast.
Neither task needs a bench. Both go wrong in the same predictable places, so it is worth knowing them before the case back comes off.
| Job | Piece from the card | Where it usually goes wrong |
|---|---|---|
| Flat battery | One of the two case openers | Slipping and scoring the back of the case |
| Bracelet two links too long | Pin punch, hammer and perforated block | Tapping the pin the wrong way round |
| Loose spring bar | Precision screwdriver or long nose pliers | Letting the bar ping across the table |
| Dropped screw | Non-magnetic tweezers | Chasing it across the floor |
A light-coloured cloth under the watch is the whole trick: small parts stop bouncing and stay visible. Keep the tools on their card between jobs, so nothing wanders into a drawer on its own, and press the back home with the watch lying flat on the cloth rather than held in one hand. The kit sits in the watch care section.
A watch that stops again a fortnight after a fresh cell is telling you something a screwdriver cannot fix, and a scratched case back stays scratched. At that point the sensible move is to keep the kit for strap work and look through the dials and straps on offer instead.
