Prices
250.00 per person from a minimum of 2 persons to a maximum of 9 persons
Extra Option
Guided tour through the Beyer watch Museum costs extra 50.00 - per person and only possible from 10 persons - The tour lasts 1 hour incl. expert who leads the tour.

In Detail
A family member will tell you about the history of the watchmaking industry and that of our Maurice de Mauriac watch manufactory. You will then be placed in the skilled hands of our watchmakers, who will first explain what makes a mechanical watch and why it ticks. Then it's "hands on" - with watchmaker's clothing and a magnifying glass, you'll go straight to the open UNITAS watch movement. This is 10 times larger than a conventional movement. The watchmaker disassembles the pocket watch movement and explains each part to you. But you have to be careful, because afterwards you have to put it back together again.
Families, friends and teams take the opportunity to enjoy a shared experience that not only brings the mechanical watch to life, but is also useful as a team-building exercise, as you reassemble a complete movement together and it ticks at the end.
Perpetual Watchworkshop
Every first Thursday of the month you can book a watchmaking workshop with us where you do the watchmaking course with other people. However, the course only takes place if at least 4 people have registered. The course includes our usual programme. See watchmaking course I.

Workshop
+ Watch
Watchmaking course II builds on the knowledge gained in watchmaking course I. In the continuation course, you will assemble your own Maurice De Mauriac watch in around two hours under the guidance of professionals. You can choose from various versions of the Icon L1 design. The watchmakers will engrave a personalised engraving on the rotor, for example your initials, making the watch an unmistakably unique piece, especially with this experience. The course costs as much as the L1 you choose plus 150.00 per hour.
If you would like to assemble a different watch, this is also possible after consultation with us

We are celebrating 100 years of RIOJA! 🍷🍇
Exactly 100 years ago, Rioja became the first Spanish wine region to receive the DO designation of origin. Today, Rioja is one of the world’s most important wine references. As with high-quality Swiss watches, the quality of Rioja wines is based on high craftsmanship, tradition, and precision. That is why we are participating in this anniversary event. There will be a variety of wines to taste, accompanied by tapas and music. During the evening, our L3 Spheric Red will be raffled off, its brick-red dial reminiscent of the color of a Rioja Gran Reserva.
PARK HYATT HOTEL, ZURICH

This week is about our father and (actually Massimo’s) partner in crime 🐾🩷. About how he would go everywhere with Totoro, to the mountains, to sit with an espresso in the hand or simply to spend hours just being near him. These small moments became big memories. We hold on to the colors, the love, and the gratitude of time shared. #dad #RIP #dog #internationaldogday #father #partnerincrime #mauricedemauriac #mdm #totoro #watches #watchdog #love #family #time #zurich #colors
BECAUSE DOGS ARE FAMILY TOO! 🐕❤️
