Watchmaking in Norway


We had a special visitor from Norway 2 weekends ago and he is a very experienced watchmaker. He maintains a blog which promotes watchmaking and its education. I know its in Norwegian but use Google chrome or some translation programme and snoop around. It has some interesting things !

  1. Thank you Henrik for putting FUN on your blog. sides.
    In Norway we are few watchmakers and in the Nordic country’s it is important to have a god and near cooperation. I’m sure watchmakers all over the world have different experience and often have a lot of spare parts other watchmakers need to a old watch ore so. The beautiful watchmaking need to continue and it is not all the new complicated movements we in the future will make our money on. I started Professional Watchmakers Norway, FUN for only 4 years ago, and to day we are nearly 100 members in our little country. The first agenda is a better watchmaking school with an international norm. I will wish Henrik Korpela and his real watchmaking school the best wishes for the future and for the watchmaking.
