Calling all students in Switzerland !! Photo competition

We received an email from the organizers of Education Guide Switzerland that there is an on-going photo competition. Well, the many mysterious and abysses of watchmaking should have a chance at the competition. So, watchmaking students in Switzerland, take up your cameras and fire away !!

Social night

Sometimes we have social nights on Fridays. It fosters a closer knit relationship between students and staff. 

We have students from all over the world.

These two hail from Iceland.

Experiment.

Guess what we were doing in the school ?

Its some sort of a chemistry experiment. 

From some time ago …

We have been busy at the school with exams and practical tests. Anyway, these are more pictures of our visit to Schaublin last year. We took alot of pictures on that trip. 

Very cool Loupe system

Saw this online awhile back. Pretty neat and very presentable. However, its not cheap. Anyway, they claim they have the giants of watchmaking like Mr Dufour using their loupes. Check out their website.

The best part is, you don't need to be a professional or a DSLR to use this. Just pop it onto your iPhone and fire away. Plus points for the convenience.
