Enjoy an exceptional moment in our picturesque workshop in Le Noirmont. With its modern, elegant design and large windows, it offers breathtaking views over the pastures of the Swiss Jura. Numerous clock-related objects, some from another era, are sure to catch your eye and reveal a few insider secrets. Participants who choose a one-day course will be accompanied by the Master Watchmaker to the Maison Wenger, a restaurant awarded two Michelin stars.
Discover the secrets of timepiece assembly in our workshop in the heart of the world capital of Haute Horlogerie. Nestled in the historic centre, the charming building that houses it dates from the 17th century. It is reached by a pedestrian street, the same one that was used in the past by the peasant watchmakers who came to sell the fruits of their labour to the large factories on the square. Participants who choose a full-day workshop will be accompanied by the Master Watchmaker to the famous Brasserie Lipp.
