Enter the magical and enigmatic world of a timepiece! During this small-scale initiation, you'll unravel its mysteries: disassembly, cleaning, reassembly, lubrication and adjustment of a Manufacture Suisse ETA 6498 and 6497 (Swatch Group) movement will no longer hold any secrets for you.
Course of the workshop (4h30):
- Learn how the automatic and hand-wound mechanisms equipping the most prestigious watches work.
- Handle the parts that make up the caliber: understand the complex mechanism that mobilizes the barrel, gears, escapement, anchor and balance-spring.
- You'll sit behind a real watchmaker's workbench equipped with professional-quality tools including: a movement holder, a magnifying glass, precision screwdrivers, tweezers, a bulb, rodico and much more...
- You'll handle the leading brands of watchmaking tools such as Bergeon, Elma, Beco, Moebius, Eschenbach...
- You'll also learn about haute horlogerie maintenance techniques such as polishing, lubrication, chrono-comparator adjustment and movement verification and control.
Our partner will do everything in his power to ensure that you spend a privileged moment in a small group, and that you keep a memorable souvenir of this unique experience. All you have to do is take a seat behind your workbench and let yourself be guided through this horological adventure!
