Complementary project

From bevelled components to an assembled watch.

The BeWatchmaker project lets students bevel and polish blank bridges for a skeletonised ETA 6497 movement, then take that work through to a watch assembled by Initium.

Give the work completed in training a finished form.

The open construction of the Ovide movement keeps the finishing visible. Areas to be bevelled, preparation level, budget and schedule are agreed with Alexandra before work begins.

The project becomes part of a programme when the watch provides the right support for the techniques to be learned and the final component to be completed.

Confirmed roles

One project, three clearly defined responsibilities.

Alexandra supervises the finishing, Initium assembles the watch and BeWatchmaker provides the warranty and after-sales service.
