You might notice we are looking a little different

We have undergone a bit of a rebrand to more accurately reflect who we are and what we want to achieve as the Modding Bench

Our Goal?
To bring the art of watch assembly to more people and help grow the industry while at the same time allowing people to unleash their creativity

Classes continue as normal just with a fresh new look and a few improvements in our booking system

Thank you to everyone that has supported our business so far and we appreciate everyone being so amazing and kind! We definitely didn't expect so many of our classes to sell out so fast

What watch would you build first?

You go from knowing nothing about watches to having hand selected all the parts and assembling your dream watch in just a few hours in our class in Surry Hills.

Our class starts at $595 for our foundation and $995 for a couple. And in these few hours you'll take home a watch you have assembled yourself!
