Secure your watch case with this rosewood block, designed for precise movement servicing and battery changes at the workbench.

What it does

This dual-part clamp offers a firm yet gentle hold for watch cases, preventing scratches on polished surfaces during intricate repair work. The precisely machined jaws feature a central recess and cutouts that accommodate various case lug designs. A smooth-operating steel thumbscrew drives the parallel clamping action, ensuring consistent pressure. Its solid rosewood construction absorbs vibrations and provides excellent grip without marring delicate finishes.

How to use it

  • Position the watch case within the stepped recess.
  • Gently tighten the thumbscrew for a secure, non-damaging grip.
  • Hold in a larger vice via the side-drilled hole for stability.

Who it's for

An essential tool for professional watchmakers and horologists undertaking detailed movement repairs or case restorations. It's also ideal for experienced jewellery makers and dedicated hobbyists who require a stable platform for fine watch work, replacing less secure methods.

Common questions at the bench

How do I hold a watch case in it?
Set the case in the recess between the jaws, with the lugs in the cut-outs where they fit, then tighten the thumbscrew gently until the case is held. Tighten only as far as you need: too much pressure can mark the case.
Can I fix it to the bench?
Its description says it can be held in a larger vice, using the hole drilled in its side, for extra stability. Otherwise stand it on a firm, flat part of the bench.
Will it scratch the case?
Wooden jaws are gentler on a case than metal ones, but grit or metal filings caught in them can still scratch. Brush the jaws clean before each use.
How should I look after it?
Keep it dry and away from water and cleaning fluids, which can swell or mark the wood. Wipe it clean after use and keep the thumbscrew free of grit so it turns smoothly.
