Submissions

Submit a Project

Found a hacky, original, or genuinely interesting DIY watch build — yours or someone else's? We review every submission. If it's a good fit we'll write it up and credit you as the tip-off.

What we feature

Mechanical builds

Hand-crafted movements, modified calibers, skeletonised plates, tourbillons built from scratch. If it involves a mainspring and a steady hand, we want to know about it.

Digital & firmware

Custom watch computers, ESP32 wristwatches, e-ink displays, GPS synchronisation — anything that runs code and tells the time.

3D-printed cases & dials

SLA, FDM, or SLS — if someone designed and printed their own watch case, bracelet, or dial, we're interested.

Restoration

Bringing a neglected vintage piece back to life, sourcing impossible parts, or a complete service documented start to finish.

Tools & jigs

Homemade watchmaking tools — case presses, timing machines, mainspring winders, demagnetisers. The meta-builds.

What we don't cover

Mass-produced watches, unboxings, affiliate reviews, or projects with no original making involved. We cover builders, not buyers.

The original post, Instructables page, GitHub repo, forum thread, or video.
