What is Travellers’ Choice?
Tripadvisor gives a Travellers’ Choice award to accommodations, attractions and restaurants that consistently earn great reviews from travellers and are ranked within the top 10% of properties on Tripadvisor.
Our activity seamlessly blends storytelling, craftsmanship, and experiential learning, making it a truly unique and unforgettable voyage through the heart and soul of Swiss watchmaking.✨ Starting at the iconic Bahnhofstrasse, you're not only immersed in Zurich's rich history but also its deep-rooted connection to the world of horology. As we venture to Zurichberg, the experience becomes even more immersive. In a serene watchmaker atelier, a master watchmaker will unveil the secrets behind the intricate artistry of mechanical watchmaking, providing insights few have the privilege to hear. Here, you'll gain a hands-on experience and understand how a watch works and qualities that determine a watch's value. By the journey's end, you'll have not only learned the tales and techniques of Swiss watchmaking but will have lived them. And to commemorate this experience, choose your preferred Vintage Swatch from the atelier's collection.

      Interesting and informative tour!
      We had a great time learning about watchmaking and its impact on the country and its history. The tour was very interesting and unique compared to a normal history or sightseeing tour and we could not recommend it enough. It was highly interesting and we all learned a lot about the intricacies of watchmaking and the watch maker and guide allowed up to discuss and ask questions about what was interesting to us. This tour is definitely worthwhile if you are interested in watchmaking or doing something a little different and I can't recommend it enough. It was the best tour I went on during my 10 day Europe trip, without a doubt.

    This tour was very informative and highly interactive. The tour guide and watchmaker let us explain what was interesting to us and tailored the experience to what we wanted to see. Admittedly not everyone in the group was knowledgeable about the art of watchmaking and its impact on the Swiss culture, and so they were able to take us through the history and basics very well. The tour was extremely interesting and worthwhile. I would highly recommend this tour for anybody with an interest in watchmaking and/or looking for a tour that is a little bit out of the ordinary. It was without a doubt my favorite tour of our 2 week Europe trip.
