Taster course student from Houston

This week we had James from Houston taking one week taster course. He already worked in watch industry for ten years and would like to learn more for future restoration work. During the week, he practices the filing exercise, black polishing, beveling, making yoke. The taster course goes pretty well, and hope to see him in the future.

Last weekend we had watchmakers from Jaeger le Coultre using their free time keep sharpening their techniques and skills at school.
