There are three major Swiss-made brands that you should consider: AF Switzerland, Bergeon, and Horotec.

Before you can even get inside a watch to see what may be causing a problem or just to undertake a regular service you need to remove the back and/or front of the watch.

Depending on the kind of watch, you may be required to unscrew or lever off the back and front.

Movement holders come in a wide variety of configurations and dimensions, but the standard holder is reversible, which allows it to accommodate movements of varying sizes: smaller movements on one side and larger ones on the other.

Part containers separate watch parts as you disassemble and reassemble them. More likely, they should have a cover to prevent dust or particles from settling on the watch parts after they've been cleaned.

Peg wood is made from hard wood. It is consistent in its size and shape. People often try to compromise by using toothpicks and wooden kebab sticks, but these are too soft and won't hold their shape. Add some Pegwood to your watch-repair kit.

There are many tasks that peg wood can be used in the watch repair industry, but its main functions include cleaning out watch parts and jewel holes before cleaning with chemicals and holding back parts during assembly and reassembly.

To trim the pegwood's ends, you will need a sharp knife. The most common shapes are flat and point.

After disassembling your watch and cleaning the jewel holes with peg wood, you should use a dedicated watch cleaner.

To get rid of all the crusted-on grease, filth, and grime, a professional watch repair shop will engage an ultrasonic watch cleaning machine.

Because of this, I think it would be a good idea if you have one in your watch repair kit.

Rubber dust blowers are not only affordable but also fantastic for fast removing dirt and other particles from your watch and also drying parts once they have been cleaned.

When drying watch parts with a blower, use extreme caution because dust blowers can be quite powerful, and if the watch part is not held firmly, it could be wowed and never seen again.
