THE WATCH ACADEMY

Learn | Build | Understand

At RAW, we believe that true appreciation for horology begins with hands-on experience. The Watch Academy brings watchmaking out of textbooks and onto your workbench, letting you discover what really goes on inside a timepiece.

WHY THE WATCH ACADEMY

Why Learn with Us The Watch Academy is designed for enthusiasts of all levels - from curious beginners to seasoned collectors. Under expert guidance, you will explore movement mechanics, try your hand at assembly and disassembly, and gain confidence in caring for your own watches.

This is watchmaking made accessible, enjoyable, and deeply rewarding.

WHAT YOU WILL LEARN

  • Reading a Timegrapher

    Learn how to measure a watch’s performance using rate, amplitude, beat error, beats per hour, lift angle and more - the foundation of proper regulation.

  • Safe Handling and Demagnetising

    Master essential safety steps - demagnetising your watch and tools, releasing mainspring tension, and preparing the movement for disassembly.

  • Movement Disassembly

    Open a watch, remove the hands and dial, and progressively dismantle the movement while learning each part’s purpose and function.

  • Cleaning, Assembly & Regulation

    Clean, peg, inspect and oil components before reassembly. Set the dial and hands, then regulate the movement using the timegrapher.
