Custom made watch hands
Posted: August 18th, 2018, 2:26 pm
In addition to custom dials, I also make custom watch hands. These can be made to a unique design, but I also have a number of stock items available (detailed below). Custom hands are available in 0.25mm brass or 0.20mm stainless steel.
Details and Pics:
All hands are made from 0.3mm thick brass. The holes require broaching to suit each movement (same as Binbin hands), and are supplied unlumed. The hands will require brushing or polishing before installing. The hands are £14 per set, or £30 for 3 sets - Depth Gauge hands are £10 per set. Shipping is £3 per package without tracking or £8 with tracking (with the exception of the UK which is £3 for recorded delivery as standard).
Unfortunately I can't offer a broaching service for individual movements.
1) Pilot style hands (designed for Patek Aviator).
Sizes (dial centre to tip of hand): Hour hand - 7.2mm, minute hand - 15.8mm, second hand 18.2mm. I've modified this offering to include the option of a longer 10.2mm hour hand (see the illustration above). £14 per set.
Second hand has hole position marked but not drilled so that a tube can be neatly glued in place if required. The set includes 1 hour, 1 minute and 2 second hands.
