Build a Watch with Roland Murphy in Las Vegas

Build a Watch is coming to the JCK Las Vegas show with special guest instructor Roland Murphy of RGM Watches and the Archie Perkins Mobile Horology Classroom and our new in-house cases and dials!

Spend a day learning the wonders of watchmaking from an American watchmaking legendand leave with a watch you built yourself.

AWCI's Watchmaking professionals will be in Las Vegas, NV with our mobile classroom teaching our new and improved widely acclaimed Build a Watch class!

Our Build a Watch classes are crash courses in watchmaking! If you have ever wondered how a watch works or if you are curious about what goes on under the dial this class is perfect for you.

Participants will assemble a Swiss Made ETA 6497 movement, lubricate the moving parts, install a dial and hands, and case up the watch before wearing it home! Seeing your watch go from a collection of parts to a beautiful wristwatch is a truly gratifying event that you need to experience.

This course has been a big success and was recently featured in Revolution Magazine and Professional Watches. Here is what some attendees have said:

“I’m definitely leaving with a higher appreciation for watches and watchmakers”

- David Antonacci, Watch Enthusiast

“There is a high barrier for entry in the watchmaking industry, and I feel like AWCI does a great job of encouraging and supporting everyone in class at every skill level.”

-Karen Wood, Jewelry Shop Manager
