Watchmaking The course

Tristan Ledard · watchmaker

Watchmaking,
from my bench to yours.

I'm Tristan Ledard, a qualified watchmaker and winner of the Young Talent Competition of the AHCI and François-Paul Journe. Learn to take a mechanical movement apart at home, send me your watch for a service, or have a look at what I make.

Watchmaking course at a distance

Learn the basics of watchmaking from your living room.

With this course you don't just watch videos: you work on a real hand-wound mechanical movement, the 6497 calibre.

  • A real movement: add a 6497 to your order, or work on your own. It's yours to keep.
  • Step by step: the videos filmed at my bench and a detailed guide, at your own pace
  • I answer you: stuck at a step? Ask in your student area, and I answer myself
  • The tools you need: several kits, depending on what you already have

Servicing by post

Trust your watch to a qualified watchmaker.

A full service, done properly. You send your watch in a parcel I prepare for you, you follow each stage online, and it comes back serviced, with its report and its warranty.

  • A safe parcel: two boxes to protect the watch, and the opening filmed when it arrives
  • Followed throughout: every stage online, with the code on your drop-off slip
  • Measured: a report with the readings before and after the service
