Tools & Parts Guide

Professional V Tweezer

Most watch bracelets with a spring bar opening larger than 1.1mm are compatible with this tool. Our tool features reversible, removable tips in 1.1mm and 1.4mm sizes.

  • Prior to using this tool, determine which side of the reversible tip should be used by examining the spring bar opening on the underside of your bracelet. Remove the reversible tip using the provided hex wrench, then install the size that best suits your requirements.
  • Be sure to place your watch on a soft, flat surface, such as a microfiber cloth. We recommend using a screwdriver (not included) to remove a link from the watch or a push pin (not included) to separate the bracelet from the buckle so you have more area to work. 
  • To safely remove the bracelet from your watch, we recommend that you hold this tool at a straight, 180 degree angle that is perpendicular to the watch’s spring bar holes. Align the plier tool with the spring bars, squeeze to release the spring bars, and then remove your bracelet from the watch head while maintaining a firm hold.

 

HorloBLADE Screwdriver

Many Swiss watch brands incorporate threadlocker on the screws of their bracelets. 

  • Before sizing the bracelet, we recommend heating the screw from the link you want to remove with a blow dryer or by running hot water over it. 
  • DO NOT use excessive force when removing the screw from your watch bracelet. The screw should loosen with minimal pressure if heat is applied.

 

Bracelet Holder Block

To avoid slippage, use this tool in conjunction with our HorloBLADE™ screwdrivers. 

  • Before using this tool, place a thin sheet of plastic (e.g. the clear plastic packaging it arrives in) flat on top of the holder block. This will serve as a barrier to prevent wear from contact between the slotted section and your watch bracelet.

 

Dust Blower

Hold the watch so that the dust will fall away from any delicate parts, such as a disassembled movement. 

  • Use gentle, controlled puffs to blow the dust away from surfaces and out of crevices.

 

Bezel Insert

We recommend professional installation by a certified watchmaker.

  • An adhesive ring is included for installation.
