One dial, two paths — what kind of modder are you?
At Carbon Chrono, we handcraft carbon fiber watch dials designed to kick your build into another dimension. But once you’ve got that dial in hand, there’s a choice to make:
Do you build the watch yourself?
Or do you let us build it for you?
There’s no right answer — only what works for you. So let’s break it down.
The DIY Route — For the Hands-On Modder
You’ve got your case, movement, hands, and tools ready. You know your NH35 from your Miyota. You want to feel the dial slot perfectly into place.
Why build it yourself?
- You love the process.
- You already have parts lined up.
- You’re chasing that “I built this” flex.
- You want full creative control.
- It’s satisfying. It’s obsessive. It’s yours.
But hey — if your screwdrivers are still sealed in plastic and you’ve never pressed a crystal before… maybe read the next section.
Let Us Build It — For the Watch Lover Who Wants It Done Right
Maybe you’re more into wearing the watch than building it. Maybe you’ve got the vision, but not the time (or tools) to make it real.
Why get a custom Carbon Chrono build from us?
- We use pro tools, tested builds, and clean finishes.
- You still choose your dial, lume, case style, and strap.
- We’ll assemble it, test it, and ship it ready to wear.
- You skip the headache — and skip the learning curve.
No stress, no tweezers flung across the room. Just a beautiful custom piece that shows off your taste and our craftsmanship.
One Dial. Two Paths. Zero Wrong Choices.
Whether you’re knee-deep in gasket grease or just want to skip to the good part — we’ve got you.
