At the heart of watchmaking passion with F. P. JOURNE.

On Tuesday, 18 October 2022, the Fine Watch Club and some of its most privileged members had the honour of going behind the scenes of the famous F.P.Journe watchmaking factory (legally known as Montres Journe SA) based in Geneva.

Since 1860, TAG Heuer has represented avant-garde, precision and bold style that have marked the history of the watch industry. We invite you to discover their heritage through their watches and latest innovations.

On Thursday, September 9th 2022, the Fine Watch Club and its members had the honour of going behind the scenes of the Armin Ström Manufacture in Bienne, accompanied by its co-founder, Mr Serge Michel.

Hosted by its CEO, Mr Aeschlimann, OMEGA opened the doors of its factory and museum nestled in the heart of the Cité du Temps with its new dragon-shaped building. Beyond its rich history, OMEGA has continually reinvented itself through the Swatch Group. It aims to offer models and innovations that are in tune with the times while meeting increasingly complex requirements - particularly chronometry. For instance, we could mention the Co-axial Movement and the Silicon Spiral of all the innovations over the years.

Located in one of the most beautiful spots and viewpoints of the Canton, Watchland - the source of inspiration for the Maison's creations - has become one of the region's must-see sites. With a landscape adorned by Mont Blanc and Lake Geneva in the background, this location allows the Maison to concentrate all the different stages of watchmaking on the same property.

A visit to IWC Schaffhausen is an exciting and unforgettable experience - whether you are a long-time enthusiast or new to the world of mechanical watches. During the factory tours, you will discover the complex technology and sophisticated craftsmanship that goes into every watch.
