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.

BIG MOVE! Our atelier has always been in the right location, but now we are moving it.
We had to make a decision for the next 30 years. We made it. After much hesitation and discussion.
The atelier is getting a new address.
We are not revealing the new address yet. Suffice to say that our father would have loved the address with all his heart. That’s why we love it too.
The atelier will be available at the beginning of the year. We are now looking for new tenants. How wonderful it would be if someone wanted to take the spirit that will forever fill these rooms with them, so that they could celebrate similar successes in exactly the same place. Perhaps – inspired by this – even greater ones.
Is that you? Do you know someone who would like to or could be? Do you know someone who knows someone who would like to? With these words, we simply want to prevent someone from saying to us at some point: “If only I had known.” Or “Why didn’t you say anything?”
We are happy to tell interested parties about the special features of the location and the rooms. Because the atelier is close to our hearts.
In the coming weeks and months, you will find out where we have moved to in Zurich. And no, it’s not Bahnhofstrasse. It’s “Danielstrasse” opposite “Daniel-Ort”!
We wish you an exciting time.
Massimo, Leonard, Masha
and the whole Dreifuss family

One watch - for any wrist ✨
With its size, the L3 Small Seconds serves a growing trend towards slightly smaller watches.
📸 @which_watch_next
#MauriceDeMauriac #MDM #L3SmallSeconds #L3 #smallsecond #watch
Grand elegance in a small format - meet the L3 Small Seconds from our L series.
When we launched first the L3, the elegance of this watch became extremely visible. It’s not the conservative elegance. Its elegance fits perfectly to every environment. Not just in a fundamentally elegant lifestyle. With its colours and the complete absence of unnecessary decoration, it makes the life of an artist or an investment banker equally elegant. And if they should happen to meet, everyone will have the perfect watch on their wrist.
