Attended the Intro to Watchmaking class with my friends. Not a watch connoisseur myself, but it was a really interesting introduction to the complexities of watchmaking and why watchmaking is both an amalgamation of science and art. They offer many more advanced courses as well. Definitely a must-try if you are into the intricacies of watchmaking.

Great induction to watchmaking masterclass course at IHT from Michael and Phyllis. Michael is extremely knowledgeable and patient, the whole experience was very premium and personalised. I would highly recommend the course to anyone interested in learning more about mechanical watches but also the company for watch services

As soon as we entered the IHT studio, my wife and I could feel the passion and enthusiasm of Michael and Phyllis. Surrounded by all the tools of the master craftsman, Michael shared with us his journey and gave us a glimpse of the old mixed with the new. Looking over the shoulder of a master craftsman, it didn’t take long to appreciate the skill, precision and patience that is required to assemble, repair and maintain precision mechanical time pieces. A very informative and relaxing morning, thank you Michael and Phyllis.

The best workshop I’ve been to. With zero knowledge and subpar interest, I walked out with some understanding of watch and parts also how each interacts with another. Turned out I’m looking forward to more watch making sessions. Great time with Michael also Phyllis who shared fun stories and experience. Highly recommend anyone to attend it.
