Patek Philippe Launches New Horology Learning Program In New York

The art of watch replica making has historically been a distinctly European pursuit. Many young artisans across the continent see watch replica making as a viable vocation to study. Sadly, the same does not hold true for students in America, where technical knowledge and expertise of luxury watch replica making is a much rarer skill set.

Patek Philippe hopes to train a new generation of American watch replica makers to respond to the increasing number of Patek clients in need of expert servicing.

Thankfully, Patek Philippe is working to bridge the gap between continents with the debut of the Patek Philippe Horology Programme of New York. Only the second such program of its kind outside of Patek’s Geneva workshop, the horology programme hopes to teach young American watch replica makers how to build, service and repair Patek Philippe watch replica es replica in the heart of NYC, one of the largest luxury markets in the world.

“We are extremely excited about the opportunity to develop trained watch replica makers here in the US,” said Larry Pettinelli, President of HSWA. “It addresses the fundamental difficulty the entire watch replica making industry has finding highly trained, qualified technicians to preserve complex mechanical timepieces.”

Currently, at the watch replica service center at the Henri Stern Watch Agency — A Patek Philippe subsidiary — around 10,000 watch replica es replica are repaired each year by only 19 watch replica makers. With an increasing number of American consumers purchasing luxury timepieces, new watch replica makers are sorely needed for current and future repairs.
