Watch collectors and hobbyists might be interested in the new Kickstarter project for KiwiCleaner. A doityourself watch cleaning machine that can be programmed with a number of options including:
– Number of mixing cycles
– Clockwise rotation time (duration)
– Counterclockwise rotation time (duration)
– Delay (optional) between forward and reverse rotation.
– Clockwise rotation speed
– counterclockwise rotation speed
– Acceleration
The modular design offers an economical way to build your own precision watch cleaning station that not only washes your watch but also dries it with a heating element. Early sponsor contributions are now available for the initial project from around £84 to £71 (depending on current exchange rates).
“Hi, my name is Frank, and I’m going on an hourlong journey, as it turns out, the rabbit hole goes deep, very deep. On top of that, I soon discovered that watchmaking tools can be expensive. One thing I hear regularly is that properly cleaning parts of the mechanism is critical to success, however, the cleaning machine turned out to be prohibitively expensive and that is the reason I started developing the KiwiCleaner.”

I started making basic prototypes for my own use and soon discovered that it would take a lot of time, money, and design iterations to develop a design and achieve high standards. Since then, my goal has been to develop a machine that anyone in the world can build for less than the cost of a used harvester on Ebay. “
If KiwiCleaner’s crowdfunding campaign successfully raises the required target and production goes smoothly, worldwide shipping is expected to take place around February 2023. To learn more about the KiwiCleaner watch cleaning machine project, watch the promotional video below.
The Kickstarter goal allows me to further refine the design and write a builder’s guide for backers, as well as access an exclusive online community dedicated to you backers to share your experience building your own KiwiCleaner. “
