Some watches (especially old watches) have what is called the death zone. This is simply a period of time (often between 9 p.m. and 3 a.m.) during which they cannot be wound, in which case their mechanism may be affected.

Rotate® curated a selection of watchmaking kits, with everything you'll need to build your own watch. Each kit is made to be as digestible and enjoyable as possible. You'll create a usable, quality mechanical watch that can be worn daily.
