Centre d’initiation à l’Horlogerie

Discover the world of watchmaking from inside... watchmaking fans can now get an introduction to this secular art by following courses given by Olivier Piguet at the Initiation to Watchmaking Centre in Joux Valley.

In his own workshop in the picturesque setting of an old renovated farm, Olivier Piguet gives us the possibility to take an original journey to uncover the secrets of the mechanical watch.

He teaches watchmaking fans how to take apart and put together the movement of a mechanical watch. The courses contain lessons in theory and practice.
