For assembly, he used parts from the first generation of smartwatches.
Blogger Jack Spiggle shared instructions for assembling the watch, as well as a list of spare parts that are needed for this case. He also posted a photo of the device.
Spiggle decided to implement the idea by purchasing the 1st generation Apple Watch. He spent $50 on them. The refurbished device only held a charge for 4 hours and hadn't received any software updates since 2020, so Jack seemed like the best candidate for a rebuild.
In addition, Spiggle purchased a Seiko NH38 movement, mineral glass, hands, rotor, Côtes De Genève, a nitrile seal, a piece of bronze, a brass tube, and a few other parts. To begin with, the enthusiast created several prototypes, and later proceeded to install the components in the Apple Watch case.
As a result, Jack managed to get a classic mechanical watch with manual winding and autonomy of 40 hours. A complete list of parts and assembly instructions are available at instructables.com.
