Swatch group have a school in Selangor. Think some other member can help by showing you the right direction. But you plan to take this up as a hobby or a career?

Btw, I never attended this school before, so other than the link, I cannot answer your question. Sorry.

Dear Guys,

Thank for your interesting comments.I am looking for just my hobby not career. But
I think this course will be spent 2 years full-time course which i think it is too long program for me.
Does anyone have other directions of watchmaking teaching program.
Thank you  :Dancing_banana:

There are one on-line course that you can take at your time. I believe it is a 2 part course. And it is not very expensive.

I called the school. It seems that you need to apply at Swatch Malaysia and those choosen will be sponsored through the 2 years program.

If you have an iPhone or iPad, JLC's app does have a mini lesson on watchmaking. This is not really a course, more like a game actually, but no harm having a bit of fun, right?  :P

The app is free too.  ;)

Should be Jaeger-LeCoultre, with no app at the back. The developer should be JLC themselves.
