Practical sourcing guidance for buyers of watch components and moulded parts — how to choose between PC and mineral glass, when to repair versus replace a mould, what a watch case manufacturer should be judged on, and what to send for an accurate quote.

They are written by the people who run the floor, not by a marketing agency, which is why they include the numbers.

Sourcing managers, product engineers and brand owners buying watch components or moulded parts in India — particularly first-time buyers who need to know what questions to ask and what answers should look like.

They are equally useful if you are currently unhappy with a supplier and trying to work out whether the problem is fixable.

Irregularly, and deliberately so. We publish when there is something specific worth writing down — a recurring question, a decision buyers keep getting wrong, a process worth explaining properly — rather than to a content calendar.

Each article is dated, so you can see how current it is.

Yes, and often that is quicker. Send your drawing and volumes through the quote form and you will get a specific answer about your part within one working day, rather than general guidance.

The articles exist for the stage before that — when you are still deciding what to specify.

If you are about to send an enquiry, start with what to send for an accurate quote. If you are choosing a supplier, read the case for single-source supply. If you have a specific component in mind, go to the buyer's guide for that part — dial rings, cases, dials, straps or glass.
