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.

250,- per person from at least 2 persons - 20 persons.

Events
PADELTA – PULS 5
04 .09 – 10 .12
Location: Giessereistrasse 18, 8005 Zurich, Switzerland
This game pushes you to your physical and emotional limits. It’s a great opportunity to appreciate the physicality of an automatic watch. That’s why we’ll be there with our watches.
BERN POP-UP
15 .09 – 31 .12
Location: Uhrsachen, Theaterpl. 1, 3011 Bern, Switzerland
In Switzerland, Swiss watches are not particularly striking. Unless, of course, it’s a watch that speaks to you in the Swiss dialect. We’ll be showing you this watch and other horological surprises at our pop-up store in Bern!
THRYVE Concept Store
01 .10 – 01 .02
Location: Bärengasse 16, 8001 Zurich
Concept stores are very special places in themselves. So we present ourselves there in a very special way. With the smallest watch boutique in the world. You can “talk” there with the concept watches from our City Date collection. And gaze at other watches that simply stare back at you in a relaxed manner.
Polarzauber
20 .11 – 24 .12
Location: Zurich Main Station
Station concourse
Our watches take a little time if you want to look at them closely. This year, the Polarzauber at Zurich’s main station offers the perfect setting to do so, softening winter with long and wonderful encounters with our timepieces. It’s going to be a beautiful Christmas season with you.
