Let's get the ball rolling

Before I even made the decision to start importing and selling Swiss Watchmaker’s tools, I also decided that my tool prices, whenever possible, will be at least equal to the prices of the largest US tool dealers. Not because I have money to burn or a big heart - being competitive means being
better, not equal to.

Enough talk: let’s get the ball rolling:

Bergeon Swiss made plastic tweezers, USD $4.50. My price: AUD $5. Plastic tweezers are used to handle watch batteries: obviously, you can't handle them with metal tweezers (shortcut!) or by hand (leaving a corrosive acid layer). Great tool for any work bench.

Bergeon 7024-1: Stainless steel, non-magnetic and anti-acid watchmaking tweezers. Length: 120mm. Ideal 'all around' tweezers for fine general work. From handling spring bars, bracelet pins down to gears, stems and screws. AUD $35 only.

Bergeon 7024-3 Stainless steel, non-magnetic and anti-acid. Finer tips, a typical professional tweezer priced at a hobbyist's level.

Bergeon 7025-SS Same as above but, my goodness: long (135mm), fine, slender and handsome! Think the Mercedes AMG of Swiss tweezers. AUD $48

AF Switzerland: the famous model #27. Another all-time watchmaker's
favourite. General work. Springy and sturdy, on the heavier side than 7025SS.
AUD $35

Finally a magnificent set of 8 Bergeon tweezers, Ref 7026. US price
converted to AUD: $398 + $30 delivery + $40 GST which totals to over AUD
$470.  My price: $395 plus $9 for next day delivery. GST already included in price! Yes, cheaper than in US!

Stay tuned for more tools soon.
