ALL FOR THE FRACTION OF A PRICE
Before Instagram came anywhere near my career, I had mastered the fundamentals. You’ll see a side of me throughout this course that I don’t think I’ve ever shown.
When I was getting started in watchmaking, there were things that I wished I knew. Everything that I’ve learned, understood, borrowed, and perfected is laid down across this course. I’ve streamlined my years of experience (and failures) and condensed it into this one course.
For the first time ever, I will teach you step-by-step how to surgically take apart a watch from start to finish (all for the fraction of the price of a traditional watchmaking course/private lesson).
