Watch tools

Many watch owners take the plunge and choose to use precision watchmaking tools, and not just to preserve the value of their favourite timepieces. Indeed, it is not uncommon for a passion for automatic watches to inspire the most curious among us to take a closer interest in this precision mechanism. So it's not just to save money that it's worth investing in a watchmaker's kit, but because maintenance is also part of the pleasure of owning a watch that you cherish.

Precision watchmaking tools

Owning a high-end or prestigious watch is a pleasure that can be enjoyed even more intensely when you actively participate in its maintenance. That's why our range of precision watchmaking tools can give you the means to preserve, repair and personalise your timepieces with professional precision.

The tools available on MisterChrono.co.uk are designed to be used with minimal tolerances and are tailored to the specific world of watchmaking. Why do we insist on such high standards? Firstly, out of respect for our customers, and secondly because using an unsuitable screwdriver to open a case is risky and can even damage the screw heads.

Our watchmaking tools guarantee:

  • Safe handling that prevents scratches
  • Maintained water resistance when closing the case
  • Protection of moving parts against magnetisation

Disassembling, cleaning and reassembling a movement (even partially) often provides a sense of personal satisfaction that is part of the pleasure of owning an exceptional watch. Treating yourself or someone else to a watch maintenance kit and a specific tool is therefore an opportunity to truly connect with your timepiece, to become one with its mechanism, its heart.

  • Collectors will appreciate being able to preserve the condition and value of their watches.
  • Experienced DIY enthusiasts will appreciate being able to carry out repairs independently without risking damage to their watches.
  • Curious beginners will appreciate being able to discover the mechanism of their timepiece and watch it in action without worrying about being unable to close the case.
  • Watchmaking students will appreciate being able to familiarise themselves with professional tools.

Watchmaking tools suitable for all tasks

  • For routine maintenance and customisation of your watch : A watchmaker's tool kit is an essential companion if you want to quickly and safely change or adjust your watch strap. It allows you to remove the spring bars without scratching the lugs of the case. Using a support stabilises your watch and makes it easier to handle.


  • For working on the watch case: While specific watchmaking tools are designed to open and replace the case cover or back, purchasing a universal kit is highly recommended (whether the back is screwed or clipped on). Very useful for changing a battery or lubricating a mechanism, a case opener kit is essential to ensure the watch remains water-resistant when the back is replaced. 

  • For precision work : A watchmaker's magnifying glass is part of the basic toolkit, providing a minimum magnification of X10 (sufficient for inspecting the condition of a movement, reading engravings or checking for dust).
 Precision screwdriver sets enable the disassembly/reassembly of microscopic movement screws and clasps (calibrated heads ranging from 0.50 mm to 3 mm), while kits of fine, non-magnetic tweezers/tweezers enable you to grasp essential components (springs, jewels, hands). Browse our full range of watchmaking tools and you will see that MisterChrono.be can meet all your personal watch and timepiece maintenance needs.
