Complementary partnership · Swiss Made skeleton models · Les Brenets, Switzerland
A skeletonised support to extend the anglage work.
BeWatchmaker remains an optional extension: training, the component and bench correction come first.
BeWatchmaker can give a tangible continuation to selected paths: finish a component, decorate it and assemble a watch coherent with the work done at the bench.
The partnership
BeWatchmaker makes sense only when the support serves the work.
The partnership serves selected paths when the skeletonised support makes the movement readable and extends the learning.
The BeWatchmaker base comes after real workshop work.
It can help the student connect anglage, decoration, movement and final object.
The choice is confirmed case by case: expected result, schedule, cost, availability and objective must remain clear.
01
Clear reading of the movement
The skeletonised movement makes visible the areas to finish and the edges that must remain clean.
02
Serious foundation
The Swiss Made base provides a serious watchmaking frame, coherent with the work carried out at the bench.
03
Credible continuation
Assembly extends the finishing work only when the path justifies it.
The concept in images
See the support before choosing the extension.
The support is shown here to clarify the option: seeing the movement, locating the areas to finish and understanding the possible assembly.
BeWatchmaker × Initium video: understanding the kit logic.
This video explains the kit logic: open movement, readable finishing areas and final assembly.
The experience explained: assembling a watch on a Swiss Made base.
The Initium video shows the assembly principle and helps explain how the support can extend selected paths.
The selected support
An existing base, chosen because it serves the work.
The BeWatchmaker base is an existing Swiss Made kit, selected for its readability: open movement, visible finishing areas and possible assembly.
It is only relevant when it serves the learning path: showing the work completed, linking finishing to a complete object and giving the experience a tangible form.
The choice is confirmed with Alexandra according to the work completed, budget, timing and the purpose of the project.
Kit reference points
What the student finds in this base.
These markers explain what the base brings: a skeletonised movement, an identified case, components to finish and an assembly frame.
- Case
- 42 mm 316L steel, in the spirit of the Ovide, with polished and satin finishes.
- Dial
- Open to reveal the movement and give a true reading of the work carried out.
- Movement
- Skeleton ETA 6497, Swiss Made, hand-wound mechanical movement.
- Decoration
- Bridges and mainplates suited to real finishing work according to the selected work.
- Elements
- Hand sets, white leather/rubber strap and assembly accessories.
- Step-by-step support
- HD video tutorials, professional tools and step-by-step support within the chosen format.
What the experience brings together
A part, a workshop, an assembly — in the right order.
What makes this proposal interesting is not the idea of the kit in itself. It is the way it is ordered with the rest: see, angle, decorate, then assemble.
A watch designed to be read.
The open movement makes bridges, plates and edges easier to read when locating the finishing work.
Real anglage and decoration work.
The priority remains the gesture: preparing, angling, controlling and retouching, with a readable result on the component.
A tangible continuation, in the right frame.
Assembly comes after bench work, as a tangible extension when the path lends itself to it.
What this does not change
An optional framework, decided case by case.
BeWatchmaker can extend the path when it helps show the work: seeing, bevelling, correcting and holding a finish.
You want to give the completed work a tangible form.
The base can extend the path through a finished object, clear and consistent with the work completed.
You need a concrete support to structure the next step.
The base can act as a thread if it helps structure learning instead of distracting from it.
You are looking for a coherent part to extend finishing work.
It can provide a coherent support to document the steps or present controlled finishing work.
