What it isSomething that holds the work
Bench jobOpening and closing a case

We turn this reversible assembly block with two distinct sides for bench work. One side presents a concave recess for high-domed crystals, while the reverse provides a flat resting surface and a hollow compartment. It keeps movement assemblies and cased watches seated steady under the hand while you open or close the case.

Concave crystal face

One side is dished inward so a watch with a domed crystal rests on its perimeter rather than bearing down on the center of the glass. The curve accommodates crystals while you apply downward torque to a threaded caseback.

Reverse storage recess

Turn the block over to expose a central compartment. It collects case screws, clamps, and loose bridge hardware right at the work position so small parts stay off the bench mat until you are ready to set them back in.

Reversible body profile

The dual-sided body flips over depending on what sits on the bench. You move between a support cushion for case closing and a flat base with built-in hardware storage without clearing space for a separate tray.

Bench stability

The broad circular footprint rests flat on the bench skin. It provides a stable base when pressing case openers against stubborn threads or holding a movement ring steady during final assembly.

A note that touches this tool

Opening a stubborn case back

Snap backs against screw backs against monobloc cases, how a case key and its dies engage a fluted rim, why the case is held in a holder rather than in the hand, and what to do when the back has been opened badly before.
