Build Your Own Watch and Learn the History of Watchmaking at The British Horological Institute with Overnight Stay

Overview

There aren’t many things more personal than a watch, and with this incredible watch making course, you can build one that’s completely personal to you.

You’ll spend the weekend at the British Horological Institute based in Upton Hall, Nottinghamshire, where you’ll create your own fully operational mechanical wristwatch with genuine manual-wind Swiss movement, stainless steel case and leather strap.

Set in the Institute’s state-of-the-art workshop, you’ll learn some history and theory of watchmaking as your master watchmaker guides you through the intricate processes involved in building your own watch. With accommodation and breakfast included at Upton Hall, you can focus on producing your perfect timepiece to take home and treasure.
