Melbourne Watchmaking Classes by HSNY
The Horological Society of New York is bringing its travelling education programme to Melbourne’s Time+Tide Discovery Studio from October 30 to November 1, offering enthusiasts a hands‑on introduction to mechanical watchmaking. Over four sessions, participants will spend four hours working directly with professional watchmakers, constructing and deconstructing real watch movements while learning about gear trains, winding, setting mechanisms and escapements. No prior experience is required, making the classes accessible to collectors and curious newcomers alike. These sessions provide a rare opportunity to engage with the craft that underpins the fascination with mechanical watches, combining material from three separate HSNY courses into a single immersive experience. Limited places are available, and enrollment is already open, allowing participants to deepen their appreciation for horology and gain practical skills that go beyond simply wearing a timepiece.
