Frequently Asked Questions
How does the tourbillon mechanism work?
A wound mainspring drives the gear train, while the tourbillon (rotating escapement) ensures smooth operation and compensates for the effects of the watch’s position. Visible mechanics—you can see every tick.
How long does the watch run after being wound?
Depending on the tension of the mainspring, it can take several hours. You wind it just like a classic mechanical watch.
Do I need glue or tools?
You don't need glue. If you'd like, you can secure individual connections for extra stability. For the delicate mechanical parts, we recommend a tool set that includes a file, utility knife, mini hammer, and other tools; otherwise, assembling the escapement will be tricky. The choice is yours: get the Star Gazing Set individually or as a starter kit with a tool set.
How challenging is the construction?
Difficulty level 5 out of 5—the pinnacle of mechanical model building. The most important tip from customer reviews: carefully wax all the gears, and the escapement will run smoothly.
How good are the instructions?
The kit comes with a 71-page glossy instruction manual that provides illustrated explanations of all the assembly steps for the 338 parts.
What if a part breaks or the watch stops working?
Our support team provides tips on how to stop your watch and sends replacement parts free of charge. They are available on weekdays from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and respond within about 30 minutes on average.
