Schooling it is not done to popularize the knowledge but to prepare few future top-grade professionals, formed with the mindset of 100 years ago, while earning a good buck.

Which requires exams in-presence in the UK for at least 5 of the very many course units if you want to be certified. Other units may be sit elsewhere, but reading through their website which is full of long formalities I didn't managed to understand where, when and for how much.Īnyway, my message to the OP is that he should now be able to perceive the elitist and almost secretive world of professional watchmaking.
However, maybe there are options for you in the form of distance learning courses (DLC).
#School of horology nyc license
If I can’t find anything soon I’ve been considering just getting a bachelor's degree at a community college (which my mom wants me to do) and after that I could either move to Pennsylvania to attend one the schools there or just find a cheap place in Hartford to go to the Jewelry & Watch Repair School of New England once I get my license and become more experienced in life to the point where I feel comfortable living on my own.
The other closest school outside of the school is called the Jewelry & Watch Repair School of New England near Hartford CT but I don’t think that I’d be able to drive that far every day. Also Google maps shows a place called Swiss precision watchmaking in Lower Manhattan, but I could find even less about their training program so I think it might be a store and repair center that got listed on Google Maps as a school by accident. What worries me most is that one article mentions that out of 380 people that applied the year it opened, only 6 were accepted and they had to go through a rigorous entrance exam, so I fear that the Patek-Philippe school might be a bit out of my league. However, they don’t have a website so most of what I know comes from a few articles that I found and I’m planning on emailing them eventually once I get things sorted out. The school I’m currently looking at is the Patek-Philippe Horology Program of New York, which is a free two year course that can also land you a job at a company after graduation. Since I’m not quite ready to leave home yet I’m looking for a school that I can commute to, and since I live in Fairfield County I’m able to go directly to Grand Central by train in the morning.
I’m currently a 17 yo senior, turning 18 in April, and I’m interested in becoming a watchmaker as a career.
