The Precision of Regulating Organs – exploring innovations in balance wheels, hairsprings, and tourbillons.
The Precision of Complications – presenting breakthroughs such as the Duometre mechanism and high complications.
Visitors can witness calibre assembly demonstrations, circular graining workshops, and interactive watchmaking animations, offering a behind-the-scenes view of hand craftsmanship.
