Passing on the Craft: Inside the School of Applied Arts x Girard-Perregaux Engraving Project

What does it feel like to work on a one-of-a-kind watch component knowing there's no room for error? As part of a unique diploma project, students from the School of Applied Arts join forces with Girard-Perregaux to engrave and assemble their own timepiece. From delicate engraving using two techniques on a single piece, to the pre-assembly and full casing of the watch, each step is a true challenge, and a learning experience like no other. Guided by professionals like Marc Wilhelm, these young talents experience the pressure, pride and precision that define haute horlogerie.
