Workshop
Never assembled a watch yourself before? Now you can do just that. You can take apart and reassemble a Unitas pocket watch movement under expert supervision.
Of course, we will credit you the amount if you buy a watch from us at a later date. (The individual prices cannot be combined). As a course participant, you will also receive a Maurice De Mauriac surprise gift and free admission to the Beyer Watch Museum.
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. Groups of 20 people or more are only possible by splitting up and combining with the Beyer watch Museum. (From 7 persons there are no extra costs)
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.
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.
Note
If you would like to assemble a different watch, this is also possible after consultation with us
Workshop
as Team
Large families, groups of friends or teams take the opportunity to enjoy a shared experience that not only brings the mechanical watch to life, but also changes your relationship with time for life. For groups of 7 people or more, we will be happy to receive your enquiry and work with you to decide how we can realise your event.
Prices
250,- per person from at least 2 persons - 20 persons.

The MDM Family found a new home and celebrated it BIG 🍾✨
The doors are officially open at the new address — Rämistrasse 5, 8001 Zurich — and we celebrated in style. Great people, great vibes, bold watches, and plenty of reasons to raise a glass.
Right in the heart of Zurich, the new space feels exactly like us: special, colorful, historic, and full of character.
Here’s to new beginnings, good times, and ticking into the future together.

Tomorrow, we open the doors to our first floor and the gallery, while we continue working on the third. Step by step.
A special thank you goes to everyone in our MDM-Family and our hardworking team, who made this possible.
Come by and see it for yourself. We are very much looking forward to welcoming you! #teamwork #mauricedemauriac #zurich

TIME TO MOVE 📦 After 26 years at our beloved Atelier on Tödistrasse 48, the time has come for a new chapter.
We are incredibly excited about this big step and can’t wait to welcome you into our new home at Rämistrasse 5.
We found the perfect place. Beautifully enough, it sits just opposite our father’s favourite restaurant @kronenhalle (We like to think of it as his sign from heaven)
Please note that we will be closed from February 9 to 15 while we move.
From Monday, February 16, we look forward to opening our doors at our new address:
Rämistrasse 5, 8001 Zürich. #moving #mauricedemauriac #rämistrasse
BE READY FOR OUR NEXT BIG MOVE✨. New address, same spirit. See you soon at Rämistrasse 5, 8001 Zurich. #rämistrasse #mauricedemauriac #bigmove
Incredible! The Russell Story continues…
After visiting us during the @zurichfilmfestival Russell invited us to personally deliver his Rallymaster IV to his farm in Nana Glen. So after launching it in Melbourne during AO 2026 we went to see him on his farm and stayed full three days. We had just an amazing TIME.
This is a real dream coming true and an once in a life time experience! But most important it shows that also Hollywoodstars are only human beings who love community & family ❤️
