Ever wanted to construct you own watch, and take it home with you? Ever wanted a family heirloom you can pass down, with a great story to tell regarding that heirloom?

Look no further than AWCI's first Build a Watch event of 2023, which takes place June 9 in St. George, Utah in conjunction with Regal Watch Exchange at the Red Cliffs Mall!

Our popular Build a Watch event, on AWCI's Archie Perkins Mobile Horology Classroom, allows watch aficionados, hobbyists and collectors to not only learn how a mechanical watch works from AWCI Education Director Jason Champion and other certified expert watchmakers, but actually put one together of their own style and take it home with them!

Those registering for our Build a Watch will receive a high-grade ETA 6497 movement kit for assembly, along with their choice between two case designs, and their choice of dial, hands and strap from several options. They will also receive a full day of instruction from AWCI's professional watchmakers on how to assembly their watch, and then take that very watch home with them at the end of the day!

The cost of the June 9 event at Red Cliff's Mall is $1,295, and is all-inclusive. Lunch will be provided for those attending the event.

To register for the June 9 Build a Watch in St. George, Utah, visit https://awci.memberclicks.net/buildawatchstgeorge and register today! Spots are limited, so the sooner the registration, the better!
