No list of iconic Swiss excellence omits watches, chocolate, and cheese.
This workshop is a fascinating demonstration and explanation of how a watch works. Our watchmaker told us about each piece as she disassembled a watch before our very eyes - its purpose and how it works. Then it was our turn to put it back together again (!). For real! But fun because our watchmaker was overseeing and guiding and sharing tricks and expert tips.
I was delighted that most of the time was spent hands-on. Still, I must mention that upon arrival we were warmly welcomed by Leo, one of the brothers of the MDM family. He made us feel totally at home. He started with a brief overview of the family business his father started, and the industry in general. We asked loads of questions, and enjoyed the conversation very much.
Plus, I before we booked this activity, we looked online at the watches they make, and we think they are fantastic! (They look even better in person.)
Do not miss this!
