The Geneva School of Watchmaking
The Geneva School of Watchmaking (École d'horlogerie de Genève, ) is a vocational school in Geneva, Switzerland, dedicated to instruction in horology and micromechanics. Established on 13 October 1824 by the Société des Arts de Genève, the institution stands as Switzerland's oldest watchmaking school. Operating under the Geneva Department of Public Instruction (DIP), the school forms part of the Centre de formation professionnelle technique (CFPT). Throughout its history, the institution has shaped the inspection criteria for the Geneva Seal (Poinçon de Genève) and cultivated successive generations of watchmakers who advanced Geneva's preeminence in haute horlogerie. Coinciding with bicentennial celebrations in 2023, the school transferred to purpose-built premises at the Espace Tourbillon complex in Plan-les-Ouates, situating itself amid Geneva's watchmaking cluster alongside manufacturers including Rolex, Patek Philippe, Vacheron Constantin, and Piaget.
