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.
