Hi Henry    I can't see a problem there,  look at car manufacture. all the component parts are sourced  from makers and assembled in the factory and brand named. That is no different to what you advocate. In the end that's all you are doing.  How many watches out there are assembled the same way, Eubauches manufactured movements that are in so many watches under many brand names.

The most so called designer watches are utilizing this concept, sometimes there might be a pattern protection or a patent issue that has to be addressed before one slaps on a logo on things, I guess the larger manufacturers has a licensing agreement inplace, but as no logo products there is probably no problems.

When you source parts from online for example case movement and hands. can you claim it as being yours? Can you sell the piece on and claim it as your own brand? I’m new to this and don’t know please can you help?

Claim against whom? For your watch to be known and copied you would have to sell in the thousands. I whish you can get there first, then worry about imitations later.

Chinees manufacturers produce any of designs they are set up for, without you having to worry about brand ownership. You can name or desgn dials for your order at will.

So far as brand name,  you can register your brand or purchase any of the old abandoned brands cheap, though some have resurrected with advanced luxury mechanical pieces.  

Abandoned brands are just a title, no equipment, no know- how. Much depends on the target market, terretory, finances,advertisment, .....etc.

Lawyers bussy at international court of arbitration give consulation on legal matters starting with incoterms, all the way forward, back to the start.

I had to try this out and got to say it's not to bad. Tried with just a quartz the first run maybe an automatic next time..

      Gamblin Gamsol for cleaning?

      By joelcarvajal · Posted

      Thank you all for the replies!  Very informative! True enough, the Gamsol took some time to evaporate and does leave a residue. So not all naphtha are created equal!  Need to find alternatives then. i was able to try Hexane recommended by Alex and it seems great.  I wonder what the cons are?

      Yeah, I saw that in the tech sheet but I don't see how it can be adequately cleaned with the friction pinion still in place. I've accidentally pulled the arbor right out of the wheel once when I used a presto tool to try and remove it. Mark shows how he does it with the Platax tool. Those are a little too pricey for me so I got one of these from Aliexpress and I just push down on the arbor with the end of my brass tweezers. That usually gets it most of the way out and then I just grab the wheel with one hand the and the friction pinion with the other and gently rotate them until it pops off. Probably not the best way but it's seemed to work for me so far.

      Movement inserted from crytal side

      By Zedster · Posted

      Thanks, Jon Sounds like a plan. Obviously I'll have the face on so do you think gripping with the holder will create any problems, but I will check in the morning to see how feasible it is but I assume it only needs to be lightly held. As for holding the movement instead of the holder won't be possible in this scenario as one hand will be puling on the stem while the other pushes the spring down. That was my initial concern is how the hell can I do this with only one pair of hands. All the other times I've had to remove the stem hasn't been a problem, apart from the force required to release the stem from the setting lever, but now I need to fit the face and hands its sent me into panic mode. If it had the screw type release things would be a lot simpler but that's life 😀   Another thing I will need to consider is once the dial and hands are fitted and the movement is sitting in the case I will need to turn it over to put the case screws in. I saw a vid on Wristwatch revival where he lightly fitted the crystal and bezel so he could turn it over, is this the only option or is there another method?

      Main spring

      By nevenbekriev · Posted

      Hi Jon, do You think that relation spring torque - amplitude is linear? I would rather guess that the amplitude should be proportional to the square of the torque. I had once idea to check it, but still haven't.

      I did not. I thought about it, but I had cleaned it in my ultrasonic, and the tech sheet shows lubricating it in place already assembled, so I figured discretion was the better part of valor. Although since I have to depth the jewels anyway, maybe I pull the pinion off to rule it out 100% as part of the problem. Do you know if there's a safe way to do it? I don't want to use a puller because it would push down on the plane of the wheel, and that seems like a Bad Idea. I thought about using a roller table remover, but I don't think I have a hole stake pointy enough to push it down.
