CincyWatchShots is running a special group project "Build-a-Watch" class hosted by @americanwatchmakers AWCI. We have a tentative date of Oct 17th for the class. Max class size is 12, and we have 3 slots currently open. If you're in the mid-west up up for a road trip to Cincinnati, head on over to the discord and go to the Build-a-Watch channel to get on the list. We are closing the sign up next month after our August meet so we can send the movement bridges out to @red5watchworks for engraving work to have CincyWatchShots 2026 1of12 engraved.

We are also coordinating with @mclemens02 and @plumierfoundation to have bespoke dials cut on a straight line engine or rose engine that YOU cut for your own watch. We haven't set a date yet for this but will likely be in September on a Saturday at Matt's shop in Cincinnati. Stay tuned for updates on our instagram account.

Watch case is 42mm. Movement is a manual wind 6497 from MOT model DB9 (ETA clone, still Swiss made) sapphire sandwich. Group pricing is $1,000 excluding the custom dial. We're looking at brass and fine silver options. With a price point $50-100.

I'm fairly close by, but my eyes are not good enough for that kind of work. Lasik made me farsighted.
