I've documented the process to design this watch on https://domsidequest.com
What you get
- STEP files
- The technical drawings I used with real manufacturers
- 3MF where it makes sense
- BOM for off-the-shelf parts
- References to my manufacturers
What it is not
I designed, machined, assembled and wore this watch. It works. But it has not been through the validation of a real product, and it's not even close to the level of a "real" watch you'd buy in a boutique. There are compromises and mistakes – likely more than I've found.
Good starting point. Not a design to hand a supplier and try to sell as a luxury watch.
Who it is for
Makers, watch enthusiasts and builders who want to see how a mechanical watch actually goes together, those who want to machine their own, or fork the look by designing their own parts for it.

My design files only. Not the third party reference shapes in 05-MISC, which I did not design and cannot license to you. That folder explains which parts are mine and which are not.
