The most accessible way to build your first watch. The TIMECRAFT Apprentice kit contains every part, every tool and full instruction to assemble a genuine dress watch from scratch: a quartz movement for dependable, low-maintenance accuracy, a stainless steel case with sapphire case glass, and genuine leather straps.

This is the Brown & Black colourway — a warm, everyday classic, and one of three dress-watch styles in the Apprentice range. If you’re looking for a unique gift for someone special, you’ve found it.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need any experience?
No. The Apprentice is our beginner-friendliest build — the step-by-step guide and videos assume you’ve never built a watch before.

Do I need my own tools?
No — every tool you need is in the box.

How long does it take?
Work at your own pace — the videos pause when you do, and the kit packs away neatly between sessions.

Why quartz?
Quartz movements are accurate, reliable and never need winding — the ideal first build. Fancy self-winding mechanics instead? Have a look at our Mechanical and Diver kits.

What if I get stuck?
Our technical support team helps every builder, free — that’s how 99.6% of customers complete their build. Your kit also includes a 12-month faulty-parts warranty.

Is it a good gift?
One of our most popular gifts — a hands-on experience rather than another object for a shelf.

What if it’s not for me?
Returns are free within 30 days of your order.
