I’m not a huge watch person but this experience was a real eye opener!
I joined the Introduction to Watchmaking Experience on and didn’t expect to be taught by Michael, a Swiss watchmaker with over 30 years of experience. We learned about the history of Swiss watchmaking, then actually took apart a real mechanical watch movement piece by piece before rebuilding it from scratch until it ticked again.
Plus, we got to bring home the movement we built and received a certificate at the end!
If you’re looking for a unique, hands-on experience (even if you’re not into watches like me), this is such a cool one to try.
