"On our company outing last year, we were lucky enough to visit the Louis Chevrolet watch factory. After a guided tour of Porrentruy and its "watchmaking circuit", we headed to the industrial area and were greeted at the factory reception. Straight away, we went into the workshops to see the ladies (and a few men as well) at work. We gained an insight into every stage of watchmaking. I particularly remember the machine used to print the hours onto the faces - amazing! The people were approachable and we were able to ask questions and discover the fascinating world of watchmaking from the inside. The tour ended in the company showroom, where all the models are displayed and sold at factory prices. We also took a look at the software used to create these treasures that combine dreams and cutting-edge technology. It was a very rewarding experience."
