Dear site visitors, from the material presented by the author, you will learn how to make your own unique skeleton watch + lighter yourself.
For his long-standing undertaking, the master used old Soviet-made wristwatches, from which the dial was removed and the insides were bared, namely the mechanism itself is the skeleton, watches of this kind are quite fashionable today.
The author made the lighter as usual from noble non-ferrous metal: copper, brass. A strip was cut out of sheet brass and soldered into a ring; it is a body. Walls made of glass and glued to epoxy glue. Each detail is unique and made exclusively by hand, which to this day has a high price, both among masters and among connoisseurs of unique things.
And so, let's look at what exactly the author needed to create a lighter-watch? And also we will consider in detail the whole process in stages.

The process of creating a watch lighter do it yourself.And so, first of all, the author proceeds to the analysis of the watch and the extraction of the mechanism itself, removes the native dial and exposes the mechanism, that is, creates a skeleton from an old Soviet watch.
Using epoxy glue, the master glues the star on the dial and then covers the surface with the same glue. The result was a certain symbol of the Communist era that had gone into oblivion.
The watch case is made of sheet copper, namely, a strip of the required size is cut out, bent into a ring and soldered.
A copper wire stop is soldered inside.
On top of the case is a braided braid pigtail, as well as a hole drilled under the crown of the winding mechanism.
I cut glass with a glass cutter and pasted it on the seat using epoxy glue.
I inserted a mechanism.
Here the watch itself is already in place and at work)
Further, the author makes a case for the lighter itself, also cuts a strip of brass and bends it into a ring, then solders it.
2 rings were made of copper and brass, after which they were inserted into one another and soldered.
