![]() ![]() Because of that I wouldn't really recommend it, but tuition is also free, and it's not the worst program.Īny other program I frankly wouldn't consider a wise idea if you want to set yourself up for success in the industry.įeel free to DM me and I can answer any of your questions about the industry etc. Graduates from the program end up in technician roles within swatch from what I've seen, doing polishing, case services, etc. It's more of a watch technician course than a full watchmaker course. The Hayek school is only an 18(?) month program, as opposed to the more standard 2 years, and is generally streamlined. No certification, but honestly, as long as you have proof that you went to the school, it doesn't especially matter. It’s an odd term, but essentially, horology ( horlogerie in French) is the study (or science) of time or watches. Tuition is also free and they offer a stipend to help you with living in NYC for 3 years. The Patek School in NYC is also good, guaranteed job at Patek after graduation. It also offers WOSTEP certification which is nice. NAISW is associated with Richemont, pretty sure you are guaranteed a job at either a boutique or in their service center, and I'm also fairly sure tuition is free as well. It's run by Rolex directly so they will set you up a job at a Rolex Jeweler after graduation, if you want it. Lititz is good, tuition is free, and the college is in a place where cost of living is cheap. It's also attached to a community college so there are financial aid programs available, and you can take a couple extra classes and get an associates degree out of it. The ones worth applying to are Lititz, NAISW, North Seattle, the Patek School, and arguably the Hayek school in Miami.Īt Seattle, tuition isn't free like the other schools I've listed, but they're associated with Rolex and offer SAWTA certification and have an excellent program with some benefits unavailable at other schools - namely, it's possible to stay late after class, come in on weekends, etc, which isn't necessarily possible with other schools. The amplitude of a modern watch should be between 275 and 315 degrees. That means that the impulse pin comes around entirely and hits the back of the pallet fork. An amplitude that’s too high can cause knocking or banking. Most schools are not going to be interested in accepting someone who's already been through another program. If it’s already low, to begin with, the amplitude will drop so low that it’ll affect the rate of the watch. It doesn't make any sense to apply to a school, get in, and then go through it all again to get a certification by going through another 2 years of school. ![]() Gem City college and York time Institute both don't offer certifications, and are much more casual programs, ie, learn at your own pace, part time, etc. ![]()
