About the Experience

Combining discovery, experimentation, and conviviality, we guarantee a memorable moment in the colors of Switzerland. Enjoy a unique experience where you eat in an upscale restaurant and leave with your timepiece on your wrist.

The most complete formula combines a meal in a quality establishment, an introduction to watchmaking (disassembly/assembly of the movement) and the creation of a watch in your image. A unique experience, just like the watch you take home at the end of the day.

Highlights

  • This full day workshop formula combines a meal in a quality establishment, an introduction to watchmaking (disassembly/assembly of the movement) and the creation of a watch in your image. A unique experience, just like the watch you take home at the end of the day.
  • Spending your 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.
