Hand Painted Watches

Preparing the components

All components are carefully inspected to ensure quality. The case, bezel, hands, movement and dial are all examined under amplification before assembly begins.

Assembly begins

The dial is carefully placed and secured, ensuring the feet are fastened and all dust particles are removed.


Aligning the handset

Exact alignment of the handset is critical. Not just for time only movements, but especially for date complications. I ensure the date change occurs +/- 2 minutes to midnight, providing a satisfying flip of the date at the correct location.

Quality and Tolerance Checks

Once the dial/movement is cased, all tolerances are checked to ensure function and proper alignment. The seals are lubricated with high performance silicone grease, each case back is torqued appropriately to maintain water integrity, and then the water resistance is checked per the rating of each piece.


Timing

Each and every DuFrane watch is carefully checked and regulated to a minimum of +/- 8 seconds per day. Although, I typically time each piece to between -2 to +3 seconds per day (even though this is not guaranteed). I strive to ensure these watches perform at their best.
