Series | Japanese Watchmakers in Switzerland Vol. 2 – Yosuke Sekiguchi | GALLERY

An overall view of Christophe Claret's workshop. It was built by renovating an old house in Le Locle, Switzerland.
This is Mr. Sekiguchi's etablis (watchmaking workbench).
This is his seventh year at Christophe Claret.
He is largely responsible for assembling complex mechanisms.
Please look closely at the area around the 1 o'clock position. The transparent plate-like component is made of sapphire crystal, a delicate material. Assembly is extremely challenging.
