Terms of Use

What This Site Is

This is a hobby project built by someone early in their watchmaking journey. I'm an enthusiast and learner, not a certified watchmaker or professional horologist. The tools, calculators, reference materials, and forms on this site are shared in the spirit of the hobby — one tinkerer helping another.

No Professional Advice

Nothing on this site constitutes professional watchmaking advice. The tools provide theoretical starting points and general reference information. They are not a substitute for proper training, manufacturer service manuals, or the judgment of an experienced watchmaker.

Specifically:

• Calculator results are based on standard formulas and may not account for your specific movement, alloy, or condition.
• Lubrication and diagnostic references reflect general community knowledge and may not match the manufacturer's current recommendations for your specific caliber.
• Printable forms are templates — adapt them to your needs.

Use at Your Own Risk

Watches — especially vintage, valuable, or sentimental ones — can be damaged by improper service. If you use information from this site to work on a watch, you do so entirely at your own risk. I accept no liability for damage to watches, tools, or anything else that results from using this site.

When in doubt, consult a professional watchmaker.

No Guarantees

This site is provided "as is." I make no guarantees about:

• The accuracy or completeness of any information
• The availability or uptime of the site
• Whether tools will work correctly in your browser or on your device
• Whether content will remain available or unchanged

Changes

I may update the site, add features, remove things, or change these terms at any time. This is a living project that evolves as I learn more.
