Taps & Dies

Question: what is the smallest taps and dies set that you use in your workshop?

A couple of weeks ago, I was lucky to acquire a Bergeon watchmakers tap and die set which goes down to 0.3mm. What an amazing find! The set is ref. 30010 and unfortunately has been discontinued for decades.

Clearly, there is simply no demand for such specialist hand tools and the assumption is that every watchmaker who wanted a set has already got one. Yes, quality Swiss made precision hand tools are disappearing. The perfect example are tweezers. We stock a wonderful range of Dumont, Bergeon and AF tweezers which are regarded as the best in the world. Even if you do not have an immediate need for one, they are practically a work of art themselves and for that reason alone they are worth investing in. If you need any help choosing the right tweezers, do not hesitate to call us!
