About the Experience
Combining discovery, experimentation, and conviviality, Initium guarantees a memorable moment in the colors of Switzerland. The half-day formula immerses you in the world of watchmaking by offering you the opportunity to create your Swiss mechanical watch.
Slip into a watchmaker’s smock for half a day and enjoy a unique experience as you carry out each step of the casing of your timepiece designed in your image.
Highlights
- Spending half-day or a full day with a passionate Master watchmaker
- Pierce the mysteries hidden behind the fascinating world of watchmaking
- Create and design a tailor-made and unique timepiece
- A cozy and charming atmosphere either in the Old Town of Geneva or in Le Noirmont with a view of the famous Franches-Montagnes
- Swiss-made watch
- Choose between automatic or manual winding:
Manual winding watch
With a hand-wound mechanical watch, you have to wind your watch manually. This should ideally be done once a day by turning the crown clockwise.
Automatic winding watch
The automatic mechanical watch recharges automatically when you wear it, thanks to the energy you create with your moving wrist. The Initium automatic watch has a power reserve of 38 hours, after which it stops when not worn. It can then be wound manually by means of the crown.
