- 8h
After welcoming you with coffee and a croissant, our Master Watchmaker will tell you with passion the secrets of time measurement. Once you are familiar with this world, you will disassemble a movement and then reassemble it, thus penetrating the mysteries of watch mechanisms. You then define the aesthetics of your watch by choosing the movement, case, hands, dial, and strap from a wide range of high-end components. After enjoying a delicious meal with the Master Watchmaker, you assemble your chosen components. Once your watch has been fitted, your creation is cleaned and checked for wear and water resistance.
Your achievement is celebrated with a glass of white wine to mark the end of the workshop and a wonderful souvenir on your wrist – your unique Swiss-made mechanical watch.
Please specify in where, and in which language you would like to take the workshop during the checkout. In the remarks field
