Craftsmanship Matters: Inside the Making of Tufina Watches

"In today's hectic fast-paced world, where most things are built simply for convenience and speed, it's quite easy to forget the value of patience, precision and hands-on craftsmanship. That's exactly why mechanical watches continue to hold a special place in the hearts of collectors and casual shoppers alike. Today, we are going to take a closer look at the watchmaking process of Tufina Watches - a brand whose core principles are hand-assembly and pure craftsmanship. Let's get started."

"Craftsmanship isn't just about using the right tools and techniques. A brand must have its own history. For Tufina, that history runs deep. A family-owned independent brand with roots in watchmaking that date back to the 1800s. Their earliest timepieces actually included tower clocks, pocket watches, table clocks and early mechanical compositions. Over generations, their techniques and knowledge were passed down, just like a family heirloom. Each generated added something new while preserving what mattered most - a passion for the art of watchmaking."

"Seeing the assembly work in detail provided valuable insight into the level of craftsmanship involved. Let's walk you through what goes into assembling this timepiece. 1. The Mechanical Movement Casablanca is a mechanical hand wind watch. Its movement is fitted with 17 rubies. Now, these jewels aren't decorative (although they look fantastic thanks to the open front and back design). However, they're functional bearings used at specific high-friction points in the gear train and escapement."
