The workshop took place in three slots with a limited number of participants. The insightful session was facilitated by watchmaker Sharath Chandra from IWC’s Manufacture. The masterclass helped participants learn about the basic parts of a movement, and how to assemble and disassemble it. The participants worked on IWC Calibre 98200, a mechanical, hand-wound movement. They disassembled the movement and then reassembled it using watchmaking tools, such as a watchmaker’s loupes, tweezers and screwdrivers.

It was a one-of-a-kind experience curated for watch lovers so that they can explore the mechanical movement in detail.
