Where time takes shape.
The Watchmaking Association at EPFL is a student-led initiative driven by a deep passion for horology and the intricate balance between art and physics that defines it. Comprised of dedicated students from diverse scientific and engineering backgrounds, the association explores the intersection of precision mechanics, craftsmanship, and innovation. Through hands-on projects, industry collaborations, and technical challenges, members delve into the science behind timekeeping while honoring the artistry that has shaped watchmaking for centuries.
Our mission is to bridge academia and the watchmaking industry, giving students direct access to horology. We create hands-on learning opportunities by connecting students with experts, manufacturers, and designers. Through workshops, site visits, and projects, we explore both traditional craftsmanship and modern innovations. By fostering this connection, we inspire future engineers and scientists to advance timekeeping with technical expertise, artistry, and precision.
