How to Measure Your Wrist
In order to select the correct band length for your wrist, you'll need to know your wrist size.
Measure your wrist with a soft tape measure around the part of your wrist that you like to wear your watch.
If you don't have a soft tape measure handy, you can measure it by wrapping a piece of string or ribbon around the part of your wrist that you like to wear your watch. Mark the length and measure it with a ruler in inches. This is your wrist size.
If your wrist size falls in between 2 lengths (ie. a 6.25" or 7.0" wrist), you have to know your preference - would you enjoy a shorter band with less tail, or a longer band with more tail?
Depending on your style, remember to consider if you like to wear your watch looser in the Summer than in the Winter.
Upgrade Your Look with a Butterfly Buckle
A Butterfly Buckle is a clasp on your band that makes your watch easier to take on and off. A butterfly buckle replaces a normal buckle on your watch band so it's always perfectly sized and easier to clasp. Set it once and it's done. It can also help your band last longer. The downside is that it’s a bit bulkier on the inside of your wrist.
Must be purchased separately - Available for our 35mm, 36mm and 38mm watches.

The Enamel Well Kit
The Enamel Well Kit contains three enamel wells and an optional inspection/sanding jig. The wells will hold your artwork and the inspection jig will help you ensure your artwork is technically correct. Although three wells are supplied in your kit, you are not obligated to have any made into watches. You can use them to experiment and/or create finished pieces. The intention behind the fine silver enamel wells is to help you create a cloisonné watch dial, although you are not limited to cloisonné if you want to approach your watch differently. You can fill the “well” of space however you prefer.
ABOUT THE OPTIONAL JIG
In a nutshell, if the finished well doesn’t fit into the jig, it won’t fit into the watch case. The jig will help you achieve the correct diameter and thickness for your dial and also help you include time markers on your dial (if you want your watch to have them). We recommend you use it to remove the guesswork and ease the tedious measurement process in the development of your watch dial. It will also help you create a spectacular dial that meets the specifications needed for watchmaking. For example, when your counter enameled piece is placed in the jig, you will know immediately if your counter enamel thickness is correct and if you should add more counter enamel or sand some off. Using the jig, you will also discover if the center hole is large enough and/or if the circumference has changed from firing.
If you decided to send one or more dials to us to be made into watches, you can expect to receive your finished watch(es) in 2-3 weeks. The watch or watches you receive will be high quality and include the same two-year warranty that comes with every Celeste Watch.
HOW A WATCH WORKS
Watches are very precise and specific. The inside of every watch case is designed to house a specific movement (time-keeping piece) and dial. You can’t take the movement and dial out of one watch case and replace it with a movement and dial that are not identical to the original movement and case. A different movement and/or dial size will often disable the time keeping functionality of the watch. You cannot put your finished art in any other watch case and expect it to keep time. The case, dial and movement fit together in a very specific way.
WATCH SPECIFICATIONS
- Currently, we offer two sizes of wells that will fit our 32mm or 36mm quartz cases. The cases are polished 316L hypoallergenic stainless steel. The quartz movements are Swiss made Ronda quartz movements (cell 364) with a battery life of approximately 18 months from the time of assembly or last service. .
- We also offer two sizes of wells that fit our 38mm (women's) and 42mm automatic watch cases. The automatics also run on Swiss movements. Note: Jigs are not yet available for the automatic wells.
- Every case includes Sapphire Glass: It is extraordinarily scratch-resistant. Sapphire has a value of 9 on the Mohs scale of mineral hardness. This makes it the 3rd hardest natural substance next to moissanite (synthetic diamonds) and diamonds. Its fracture toughness is around 4 times greater than that of Gorilla Glass.
- We have two styles of hands that you can choose from.
- The Water Resistance is up to 30 meters.
- Straps are metal or vegetable-tanned leather.
- Every Celeste watch comes with its very own travel friendly case! Perfect for storage and shipping, your watch is snuggly nestled in plush felt, protected from drops, knocks, and bangs.
- Two-year Warranty
Step two
The second step to produce a watch is to transform your beautiful enamel artwork into a working timepiece. You can do this by purchasing the Watch Service Contract.
Watch Service Contract
The second step to produce a watch is to transform your beautiful enamel artwork into a working timepiece. You can do this by purchasing the Watch Service Contract.
The watch service contract includes:
- inspecting your piece,
- Making minor corrections,
- Adhering the finished piece to a brass plate,
- fitting the movement onto the dial,
- installing hour, minute and seconds hands,
- Placing the working watch into a case,
- Cutting the stem to fit properly in the case,
- Installing the crown and waterproofing gaskets,
- Closing the case and then,
- Subjecting the watch to 72 hours of integrity testing.
Once the watch has passed testing, a band will be attached to the case and a certificate of authenticity will be issued. The watch will then be packaged and shipped back to you in a portable, shock proof travel case.
You can expect to receive your finished watch in 2-3 weeks. The watch you receive will be high quality and include a two-year warranty. We warranty the time keeping functionality of the watch and also the sapphire crystal (but it is up to you to decide if you want to warranty the artwork). The vegetable tanned goat leather band that comes with your watch will most likely last two years with everyday use. There are many color choices for your band including black, brown, tan, purple, electric blue, coral, red, turquoise, olive, and more.
IN CASE OF PROBLEMS
If your artwork arrives and we find it wasn’t created to our specifications, we will return it to you for you to adjust. We can correct minor issues, such as light sanding if the dial is slightly too thick but it is in your best interest that you finish your dial to your standards before sending it to us. You as the artist will best know your own vision and complete it within your best standard. If your dial needs more than 30 minutes of our time in order for it to function in the watch case, we will contact you to discuss how to proceed.
