AWCI Build a Watch event, Horological Society of Utah

The Horological Society of Utah has the unique pleasure to welcome the American Watchmakers and Clockmakers Institute, and the Archie Perkins Mobile Classroom, for an amazing experience of being a Watchmaker for a day.

Professional instructors will walk you through assembling your own Swiss Made ETA 6497 movement, installing the dial and hands, and casing it up before wearing it out on your wrist. You choose the customizations to make the watch uniquely yours. Any skill level is welcome in this class and absolutely no experience required. Benches, tools, and equipment are taken care of, so all you need to do is show up.

Spots are limited to members of the Horological Society of Utah only. Members receive a discounted price of $1,249, and if you are not currently a member of HS-Utah, membership will be included in the non-discounted rate of $1,349.

Lunch will be provided.
