Assemble your own working mechanical movement in this one-of-a-kind workshop
This is Singapore's only watchmaking masterclass led by a Master Swiss Watchmaker, Michael, with over 30 years of experience (including 16 years at Audemars Piguet!). Perfect for date nights, a solo activity, or a shared experience with Dad!In this 3-hour workshop, Michael will share his expertise and stories of his own experiences from his decades of watchmaking. You’ll then sit at a proper mini watchmaker’s bench and assemble a working mechanical movement - the tiny engine that makes a watch tick using gears and springs instead of a battery (or think of it like the heart beat of a watch!). You’ll get to handle authentic tools, see how each part fits together, and bring your watch movement to life with your own hands. At the end, you’ll take it home with you to admire and tinker with. You can even use it to build your own watch someday - ask your hosts for more details!Whether you arrive as a complete beginner or a casual admirer of watches, Michael’s thoughtful hospitality and hands-on guidance makes the experience welcoming and unintimidating. You’ll leave with a deeper appreciation for fine mechanics, and very likely, a newfound love for what goes on beneath the dial.What to ExpectIntro to the world of Swiss watchmaking and the key milestones in its historyStep-by-step guidance to assemble your very own mechanical watch movementWork with professional tools at a proper mini watchmaker’s benchTest your assembled movement using a timegrapherTake home your functioning mechanical watch movement and a certificate of participationSmall class sizes for a personalised experienceGood to KnowAll tools and components are provided—just bring your curiosity!No experience needed and suitable for ages 12 and upThe session runs for about 3 hoursWhile you’ll take home your own mechanical watch movement, post-class support or servicing isn’t includedBe prepared to use fine tools and work with small, delicate parts—it’s fiddly but fun!

Meet your host
Michael Dubs and Phyllis Dubs-Lye started their business in 2024 with a simple goal—to make traditional watchmaking more accessible and appreciated by today’s learners and collectors. Michael, a real Swiss Master Watchmaker with over 30 years of experience (including 16 years at Audemars Piguet!), had always wanted to share the art and precision of horology with others, and together, they’ve built something that does just that. They're focused on keeping classes affordable while still keeping the business going. Looking ahead, they hope to support underserved communities and show young people there’s more than one path to success. It’s not just about watches for them—it’s about sharing skills, opening doors, and building a community where everyone feels welcome to learn.
