About WatchWorld

WatchWorld is, first and foremost, a watch design and development consultancy.

We transform ideas into fully developed watch concepts – through professional 3D CAD design, technical development and detailed 2D production drawings.

Our aim is to provide our clients with comprehensive and independent technical documentation. This enables them to obtain quotations and have components manufactured by suppliers of their choice – in Switzerland or internationally.

Watch movements

We design and develop watch movements...

Additional functions

...as well as additional functions on existing movements.

Watch case

The design of watch cases, dials and hands is part of our day-to-day work.

Case prototype

On request, we can produce a plastic prototype of the watch case using state-of-the-art 16K 3D printing technology. This is used to assess ergonomics, proportions and wearing comfort, and enables a realistic evaluation of the design even before series production begins.

2D production drawing

Once the 3D design has been completed, the 2D production drawings are produced. Depending on the manufacturer, the level of detail required in the drawings may vary.

Technical specifications

The manufacturing plans also include technical purchasing specifications. These describe in detail how a watch case or dial is to be decorated, as well as the desired colours and finishes. The product is described in minute detail so that the manufacturers of the various components have precise specifications to work to.

Component procurement and project management:

On request, we can also handle the procurement of the necessary components and supplier management. This service is flexibly tailored to the requirements of your project.
