Man I wish they offered this down in South Texas but trying to convince my wife to take a vacation so I can take a class is a hard sell 😕

Where is this offered ? Is there a website with a schedule ? Thank you in advance !

I’d be interested but I am from Canada. Can I still join next session?

I wish we had a course like this in the Philippines so I could learn more about the watch industry. Even after working in this field for 8 years, I still want to deepen my knowledge and continue learning more about watches.🥹

I wish Utah offered this

If a person lived locally,( I do..) how much of an education in watchmaking could I obtain from taking classes at your Harrison location? I’m early 50’s retired. Thanks!
