Geneva times

13 years ago Tomas had the opportunity to attend at his first Rolex 3 weeks training course. A great and learnful experience for a watchmaker indeed. The next level was three years later and after that a polishing course in 2016.

Amazing! The 28:th October and over 20 degrees
Geneva lake 28:th October and people swimming due to a “heat wave” Global warming for sure
Instructions and lessons from 08:00-17:30 Monday to Friday. Saturdays and Sundays off
Lubricate instruction from the microscope
Last day at the bench and return back home

And it was time for level 2 in 2009

You never actually…

This is one of the best and iconic marketing advertising in the watch industry. ” You never actually own a Patek Philippe. You merely take care of it for the next generation.” A campaign that Patek Philippe used for over 20 years. I just love it!

Here a Tissot ad with our beautiful and talented actress and singer Monica Zetterlund. Unfortunatelly she is no longer in life but will be rememberd through her beautiful voice.

Good design stays forever and like this beautiful Longines that will never be out of time. If you want to buy and search for a Classic Watch it will probably look similar to that Longines from the 50s, for sure.
