What to expect
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Stop At: Maurice de Mauriac, Toedistrasse 48, Zurich 8002 Switzerland
Your experience starts right at our Atelier in the middle of Zurich.
We, the Dreifuss Family warmly welcome you at our very unique Atelier.
Firstly, we will tell you the interesting history of the Maurice de Mauriac brand adventure, explaining you everything from the beginning.
We give you insights on how we work and how we produce the very own style of watches.
This is followed by us giving you an introduction into the Swiss Watch Industry to learn how it all started.
(15 - 30minutes)
Then the main part of the attraction starts as you will sit down with our well-educated watchmaker, who shows you in detail how a mechanical watch works. Next, it`s YOUR turn to assemble parts of the watch. You will wear an original watchmaker dress and a magnifying watch glass to do so while our watchmaker is overviewing the process. Photos are allowed to be taken throughout the whole time.
In the end, you all receive a gift to remember this exclusive watch workshop.

Unser Einkauf bei Maurice de Mauriac war ein Erlebnis der besonders positiven Art. Die Herzlichkeit gegenüber Kunden und die Begeisterung der Familie Dreifuss für ihre Uhren ist einzigartig (und dies zu Recht). Mit Freude und Stolz trage ich eine Maurice de Mauriac am Handgelenk. Meine Kinder freuen sich ebenso auf den nächsten Besuch bei euch - hoffentlich hat es noch Lindor-Kugeln :-) Danke für alles!I have purchased several watches from Maurice de Maurice. They have run beautifully for many years. Daniel is a genius. Hope to visit his shop again soon.

Don't miss it if you like to look behind the dial. He's a sweetheart, bubbling with enthusiasm.You don't have to be a watch lover to enjoy this "off the beaten track" activity.

You don't have to be a watch lover to enjoy this "off the beaten track" activity. For a behind the scenes look at watch making in Switzerland, including a chance to get your hands deep into the internal mechanism of a watch, do this activity. You also get a chance to socialise with the local business owner and watch maker, who both generously share their local knowledge. This activity was definitely worth it and one of the highlights of my travels in Switzerland.This week I visited Daniel at his atelier with short notice looking for a new NATO strap for my old watch.

This week I visited Daniel at his atelier with short notice looking for a new NATO strap for my old watch. Being a watch passionate, before coming to Daniel I visited certain classical and renowned watchmakers on Banhoffstrasse and I must say that Daniel's watches are not inferior in quality, are dazzlingly beautiful, nonetheless, Daniel is humble and very friendly, fun to listen to, helpful, a real talented self-made man.
