Initium invites you to live an unforgettable experience in the exciting world of Swiss mechanical watches. Our various workshops in Geneva and Le Noirmont (Jura) take participants on an unusual discovery of the ancestral art of watchmaking, with the possibility of creating their Swiss-made watch!
Combining discovery, experimentation, and conviviality, Initium guarantees a memorable moment in the colors of Switzerland.
The full-day formula offers you an immersive experience at the heart of Swiss watchmaking for a full day with flexible hours. Take a seat at the workbench and proceed to disassemble and reassemble the movement, then create your Swiss mechanical watch.
Enjoy a unique experience where you eat in an upscale restaurant and leave with your timepiece on your wrist.
