The task is to engineer a fully-mechanical movement that fits a compact case while providing reliable, simple timekeeping—no chronograph, no tourbillon, just hour-and-minute indication with smooth, traditional hand-winding feel. The case interior is modest in both diameter and thickness, so every component—from main plate to balance bridge—must be optimised for a tight footprint without sacrificing accuracy or serviceability. I have not locked in material choices yet; stainless, brass, titanium or a combination are all on the table, and I welcome your guidance on machining tolerances, finishing options and long-term durability. Deliverables • 3D CAD files (STEP + native format) of the complete movement assembly • Manufacturing drawings with tolerances, exploded views and BOM • Prototype-ready files for CNC or EDM fabrication • Assembly and lubrication guide • Accuracy target: ±15 sec/day after regulating on a standard timegrapher Acceptance criteria 1. Movement must fit inside the provided small-case dimensions once I supply final measurements. 2. Winding, setting and power-reserve tests pass 48-hour continuous run. 3. All parts can be produced on conventional micro-machining equipment or reputable Swiss/Japanese suppliers. Throughout the project we will iterate via video or annotated PDFs, and I will handle prototype cutting once files are approved. If you routinely work in SolidWorks, Fusion 360, or similar, and have prior calibre design or modification experience, this should feel right in your wheelhouse.

Designing a compact mechanical movement is less about adding complexity and more about making every component earn its space. I can help develop the movement around that principle. I can work through the complete mechanical architecture—from main plate, bridges, gear train and winding/setting mechanism to balance assembly—while considering clearances, tolerances, manufacturability, lubrication and serviceability from the beginning. The final package can include native CAD + STEP, detailed manufacturing drawings, BOM, exploded assembly documentation, CNC/EDM-ready files and an assembly/lubrication guide. I’ll also design with the 48-hour run requirement and ±15 sec/day regulation target in mind, while keeping the parts suitable for precision micro-machining. Once you provide the case envelope and any preferred movement dimensions, I can establish the layout and identify the critical tolerances before developing the detailed components. Best Regards, Sumit Kumar.

Hand-winding in a compact case usually forces the real fight over the going train and the balance bridge height, not the hour-and-minute display. I've designed tooling assemblies with drawings, tolerances and BOMs, including aluminium structures, but haven't designed a watch caliber before. So the escapement geometry would need your reference or an existing base calibre. What case diameter and height are you working with, and is a beat rate already chosen?

Bonjour, Je vous propose de vous accompagner dans la conception d’un mouvement de montre mécanique compact à remontage manuel, avec affichage des heures et des minutes. Mon approche consiste à commencer par l’analyse des dimensions et contraintes du boîtier, puis à développer l’architecture du mouvement en CAO 3D. Je porterai une attention particulière à la compacité, aux tolérances d’usinage, à la fiabilité des engrenages, à la facilité d’assemblage et de maintenance. Je peux également préparer les plans techniques, les vues éclatées, la nomenclature ainsi que les fichiers nécessaires au prototypage CNC ou EDM. Les choix de matériaux et de finition pourront être étudiés en fonction des contraintes mécaniques et de durabilité. Le projet sera développé progressivement avec validation des différentes étapes à partir de fichiers PDF annotés et d’échanges vidéo. L’objectif final sera d’obtenir un mouvement fonctionnel, fiable et réglable conformément aux critères de précision indiqués. Cordialement, Rajaonarivelona Stanislas
