I have been eyeing this class for a while, but the available classes just did not align with my work schedule. I finally saw a spot pop up for a day that I was free, and I jumped on it, and was I glad I did! Joe, Mark, and the team did an amazing job walking us through the history of the company, and teaching us how to disassemble and reassemble our watch! The class sounded long, but they moved at such a relaxing tempo that I did not feel overwhelmed. In fact, it is amazing how fast time flew by! We had some delicious (and piping hot Brazilian cheese bread?) for breakfast, and a delicious lunch with beautiful place setting! And at the end of the class, we all got to celebrate our creation with some scotch!

This workshop is a real life "Field of Dreams" for watch fans. Collectors can all read and talk about watches. But Daniel, Joe and Marc (and the team) provide something uniquely different with this experience. The watch collector (and horology fans) are offered a truly hands on experience.

To actually assemble and walk out with a very nice watch (ETA movement) is a chance for the participant to take their love of collecting and appreciation to a new level.

This exceeded my expectations in literally every way. The class was intentionally small, with two instructors, three technicians, and an incredible setup that made the experience feel personal and immersive. The group included hobbyists, collectors, and complete beginners like me, but the course was approachable and engaging for every skill level.

The technical information was presented exceptionally well through videos, step-by-step tablets, instructor demos with a projected microscope, and plenty of individual support. What I expected to be overwhelming was actually fascinating and easy to follow. Joe and his team were knowledgeable, engaging, and entertaining throughout.

The experience itself was thoughtfully considered from start to finish. The building is stunning, and the historical tour featuring hand-engraved pocket watches and Russian military-issued watches was one of my favorite parts. Even the food served was exceptional.

The class walks you through the entire watchmaking process, including setting the hands and water testing the watch. They laser engrave your initials on the movement, provide both a strap and bracelet, and let you choose the color combination.

This was one of the most enjoyable classes I’ve taken, and I’ve recommended it to anyone who will listen. I would sign up for another one in a heartbeat.

Every part of this experience is well designed and planned. Just like the detail that goes into assembling the watch itself, the same level of care goes into the experience itself. The facility, the equipment, the people teaching us, the tour of the history of Hampden, and the food — just a stellar experience for watch lovers!

From start to finish this experience was amazing! The team was super approachable and nice, full of knowledge, patience and most importantly the one to one attention that each student, this definitely was the best part of the experience.

Would do again, thanks team!
