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..

      Gilding after silver soldering

      By AlanB · Posted

      When faced with say a pocket watch bridge which is cracked, silver soldering to repair is often the only option (hopefully someone wasn't there before hand with soft solder). I can generally do this succesfully and tidily with a small torch and miniscule pieces of silver solder, but on parts which were mercury amalgam gilded the heat can have have a deleterious effect on the finish.   I keep wondering if there's a good way to refinish these - and despite having the needful items would rather avoid using the mercury process.   In the past for electronic work I've gold plated PCBs but this involved gold potassium cyanide solution, which also doesn't realy belong at home. I've read that there are now safer alternatives but couldn't find more detail (and importantly how similar are the results to amalgam gilding, since I wouldn't want to refinish the whole watch). Pointers would be very welcome (and yes, I know solutions containing gold won't be cheap!) Alan

      Ok so with the great answers for my previous question may I ask what these two attachments are used for. The one with the red knob is I assume used for hand setting the seconds hand? Jon

      By Zedster · Posted

      According to Cousins site I need to look at document G22 as I think I need an ATGB at 304 but I cant find this size in G22 doc. The last thing I want to do is order the wrong one😳  Unless I cant see the wood for the trees 😆 I could be looking at the wrong style, I assume its classed as Round plastic Armed  https://www.cousinsuk.com/product/wide-ring-gold-atgb

      Dial feet removal

      By JonC · Posted

      When building a new Watch I have tended to use a file to remove the remnants of dial feet that are not needed as many dials come with four feet to accomodate different movements, but this can be a bit messy so now I use this with a great deal more precision as you can use an appropriate bit for the job and keep it very localised.
