My question is about apprenticeship in 1890´s-1910´s, especially horology. Hope I´m on the right sub, if not I´m sorry.

Apprenticeship in horology in 19th century Hello, I tried to find my answer on the internet, but I couldn´t really find what I needed. 1991įor its bicentenary in 1991, the Maison achieved a new technical ingenuity: miniaturising all the components of the Tourbillon with Three Gold Bridges pocket watch so they could be worn on the wrist. This is the first year of a three-year course of instruction. This feat required disassembling the original model from the 1800s, then completely recreating it, component by component – with the tools available at the time. The best approach to begin your studies with the BHI is to purchase the Technician Grade DLC in practical clock and watch servicing. Most horology students complete all the courses they can and then take on an apprenticeship to gain more experience and hands-on skills. The Tourbillon with Three Gold Bridges made its return, firstly as a pocket watch. In the 1980s, there was a strong desire to reinvent our icon. Girard-Perregaux was one of the first prestigious watch companies to take up the challenge of a return to traditional mechanical timepieces. At the end of the 1970s, with the rise of quartz, the Swiss watch industry was in deep crisis.
