Why I build

More than a dial and a case.

I started with curiosity about what makes automatic watches tick. Learning to assemble them—one movement, one dial, one build at a time—turned that curiosity into AK Timepieces.

Inside the watch

The heart of a mechanical timepiece.

The rotor, mainspring, gear train and balance work together to turn movement into the passing of time. I explain what drew me to automatic watches and why I often choose the NH35 for my builds.
