WRST is a Dutch brand of DIY mechanical watch kits, founded by Lucas Sleutjes. Each kit contains an NH38A automatic movement, a 41mm steel case and bracelet, a sapphire crystal and every tool you need to build the watch by hand in one to two hours. Drop one is 20 numbered kits.
The movement comes pre-assembled. Everything else you put together yourself, with the tools in the box.

- 41mm steel case & bracelet
- Olive green dial
- Hands, plus a spare set
- Watchmaking tools
- Nitrile gloves + cloth
- Build-guide card and video guide

The process
A watch, assembled by you.
Prepare
Gloves on, cloth down, tools laid out. Scan the card in the box for the build guide.
Assemble
Fit the dial to the movement. Then the hands, one at a time: hour, minute, second.
Case
Set the movement into the case and close it up. Steady hands, no rush.
Wear
Wind it, set the time, put it on. Every tick is your work.
It runs.

From the founder
I’m Lucas. I design, source, and build WRST myself — every part of it, for now. I started this because most of what we own today asks nothing of us, and I don’t think that’s how it should be. Drop one is twenty kits, each one numbered. Build yours, and it’s actually yours.
Lucas
