Workshop description
With Objectif Horlogerie, experience a rare immersion into the exclusive world of independent watchmaking during an exceptional day in Switzerland on Thursday, January 29, 2026.
A rare experience, designed for those who wish to experience watchmaking up close to those who are shaping its future.
The day’s program
The morning will begin with a visit to the new Laurent Ferrier manufacture, a still relatively unknown space recently inaugurated and accessible to a very limited number of visitors. You will meet Laurent Ferrier himself and share lunch within the manufacture, surrounded by the highest standards of craftsmanship and some of the finest finishes in haute horlogerie.
The afternoon will continue with a guided tour of the Patek Philippe Museum, developed in collaboration with Objectif Horlogerie, allowing you to immerse yourself in the incomparable heritage of an iconic independent brand.
The day will conclude with a meeting with an independent watchmaker whose creations demonstrate a remarkable level of craftsmanship. You will have the opportunity to speak directly with this artisan and discover a young company at the beginning of its journey, which could become one of the future benchmarks of haute horlogerie.
Practical information
Places are very limited, as the factory only welcomes a few groups to preserve the quality of visits and respect for the work of the watchmakers.
The group departure on Thursday, January 29, 2026, will be early morning from Paris Gare de Lyon in first class, with a return trip in the evening under the same conditions. Lunch at the factory, an afternoon snack, and all transfers between activities in Switzerland are included.
Excluded are all personal expenses, insurance, and anything not explicitly stated as included. The program may be adjusted in case of last-minute unforeseen circumstances, as some visits or attendance cannot be guaranteed.
Discover Geneva, the world capital of watchmaking and a city of elegance.
