What is watch modding?

I recently stumbled upon the world of watch modding. I have been curious about the world of horology for a long time. Even the concept of time has always been a favorite of mine. I am a big fan of any time related superpower in movies, books, etc.

And what about the very real concept of relativity (or at least the little I understand of it) is insane!

Anyway, long story short, I always thought about the horology world as out of reach, but then watch modding came around.

Anyway, it turns out that it is possible to buy watch parts and assemble them together. The core of the watch with all the spins and wheels is already made; all you have to do is find a nice wrapping for it.

It is not quite the real deal yet, but it is a first step!
