It’s getting nippy

 Summer might be making its way out the door here in Le Locle. But the students here are still on fire with their work. 

Starting off with Craig, having finished off his engraving and surface finishing for the polishing tripod.

Looking clean
Moving on to Garry, he’s reaching the final steps of his watch case. Here he used the 3D printer to make a 45 degree polishing jig for consistent finishing.

Bernd finished his last mandatory tool, the pallet fork platform. This tool is used on a heating plate in order to hold down a pallet fork while its pallet jewels get replaced. The tool was made from materials found in the school’s scrap metal box and from an old main spring. The spring was blued after reshaping it. Recycling at its best!


Henrik has started to teach static poising to the senior students. Two of them are quickly approaching their finals exam!


That ladies and gentlemen is the face of concentration 

Henrik met with a student alumni who is back in Switzerland and now working in Audermars Piguet!


New student from Korea! Jaewon

That’s it’s for now, until next time!
