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. Please note that this course takes place at our 2nd location in the MDM Garage: Geroldsstrasse 5, 8005 Zurich.
Of course we will credit you the amount if you buy a watch from us later. (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.

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
Workshop

Prices

Only a few people can drive the Mille Miglia. ❤️🏁
We have the Mille Miglia feeling for you.
The most beautiful race in the world is currently running, the race that wrote legends and still moves people’s hearts today. It’s not just any race - it’s the Mille Miglia, the legendary road race that transformed Italy into a stage for heroes from 1927 to 1957. The Mille Miglia was always more than just a race. It was an epic battle against nature, time and the limits of human ability.
For hours on end, the drivers drove 1,000 miles through the picturesque but challenging Italian countryside - from Brescia to Rome and back. The route led through fog, gravel roads and city junctions where only courage, skill and madness made the difference. Legends were born along the way: Nuvolari, who overtook Brivio in the dark with skill and courage, barely visible to the cameras. Or the British racing driver Moss, who averaged 157 km/h - with paper maps wrapped in a roll around his arm.
The Mille Miglia was always more than just a race; it embodied speed, style and an unbridled passion for competition. Drivers risked everything to achieve glory.
All this is in our L3 SPHERIC RED. It lets you ride the Mille Miglia all day long, when the (racing) drivers are already back at home or in the office.

Winner Photo of this Years Maurice De Mauriac Award is „Traces of Light“ #013 of @chris.tille 🌈📷
Chris Tille is an interdisciplinary artist and designer based in Zurich and Berlin (Switzerland/Germany).
No photography without light. German photographer and artist Chris Tille, who also integrates science into his work, is well aware of this. Instead of using traditional tools such as brushes and cameras, he analyzed the light for one of his series using a spectrometer.
Congratulation Chris! ✨

Following the ZÜRI-DATE, the BÄRN-DATE and the ZUG-DATE, the BASEL-DATE now speaks the Basel dialect. This means that the days of the week on the Day-Date movement speak the language of the people of Basel.
