Custom precision watch movement parts

What Watch Movement Parts Can We Manufacture?

We produce a full range of miniature components for mechanical and automatic watch movements, tailored to your exact design requirements.

How Watch Movement Parts Are Manufactured

Mechanical watch movements rely on dozens to hundreds of miniature components working together with extremely tight tolerances to deliver accurate timekeeping. Even tiny burrs or dimensional variations can disrupt the entire gear train and affect movement performance.

Our production process combines advanced micro CNC machining, Swiss turning, and hand polishing to meet the strict requirements of horology components. We ensure burr-free edges, consistent surface finish, and repeatable assembly tolerances for every part, whether you need a one-off prototype or high-volume production.

This approach allows us to support both luxury watch brands and independent microbrands, delivering the precision that horology projects demand without compromising on lead time or cost.

Inspection & Quality Control

For watch movement parts, consistency is non-negotiable. Every component goes through a multi-step inspection process to ensure it meets your exact specifications before it leaves our facility.

• ✅ Coordinate Measuring Machine (CMM) dimensional inspection
• ✅ High-precision optical measurement for micro features
• ✅ Surface roughness testing to confirm finish requirements
• ✅ First Article Inspection (FAI) for new production runs
• ✅ Batch consistency testing to ensure long-term reliability

Materials for Watch Components

We work with the most common materials used in high-end watch manufacturing, selected for their machinability, durability, and corrosion resistance:

What tolerance is required for watch movement parts?

Typical precision ranges from ±0.005 mm or tighter depending on the component geometry. Our micro machining capabilities allow us to hold micron-level tolerances to ensure proper assembly and movement performance.

Can CNC machining produce watch gears and pinions?

Yes. Modern micro CNC and Swiss turning technologies are widely used to produce high-precision watch gears and pinions, delivering the accuracy and surface finish required for smooth movement operation.

Do you support prototype and low-volume watch parts?

Absolutely. We work with independent watchmakers and microbrands regularly, supporting small prototype runs as well as low to medium volume production, with no minimum order quantity for development projects.

What file formats do you accept for custom parts?

We accept all common CAD file formats, including STEP, IGES, DWG, and STL. You can upload your drawing directly via our RFQ form, and our engineering team will review it within 24 hours.

What is the typical lead time for watch movement parts?

For standard prototype parts, our lead time is 7-10 business days. For production orders, lead time ranges from 15-20 business days depending on part complexity and order volume.
