Watchmaking Explained Simply
Initially conceived as a print magazine, 12h12 today continues its spirit as an online watchmaking journal.
We cover general topics related to watchmaking: movements, maintenance, certifications, manufacturing, design, professional uses, history, and craftsmanship. These are often-discussed, sometimes misunderstood themes that deserve precise explanation.
Each article starts with a concrete watchmaking question and illuminates it simply, without unnecessary jargon or marketing speak. Our goal: to share a clear understanding of watches, enriched by our workshop experience, our custom projects, and our perspective as an independent watchmaking house.
