You are welcomed in the living room; parquet floors, moldings and a very watchmaking style decoration set the tone. Sitting on the sofa with a drink, the watchmakers (state graduates) get to know you before getting down to business. That's when you discover the second part of the place: the workshop.

  • The " First Time " workshop, the concept is simple, you slip into the skin of a real watchmaker.

On the program, discovery of the history of watchmaking followed by a theoretical course on the functioning of a mechanical watch and of course the dismantling and reassembly of a decorated ETA (Swiss) caliber that you carry out yourself with the help of the watchmakers, all in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere.

For those who want to go further, there is the " Master Time " workshop in private lessons and the " My Time " workshop where you assemble your own watch.
