About this experience
Few people know the souls of things, and even fewer can make these souls perceptible and tangible to others. Maurice can. If you also desire to belong to this chosen group, you must come to Maurice. “à Maurice”, from Maurice de Mauriac, is a meeting place for people who want to feel and experience the soul of mechanical watches. You’ll disassemble a Unitas pocket movement – the device that powers a manual watch – and then reassemble it under the watchful eye of a private watchmaker.

Watchmaking FUN
My husband and I had a great experience at Maurice de Mauriac. We learned a lot about hoe watches were made as well as the history of the company. The price for the watching making class is 250 CHD per person, but if you buy a watch that amount is deducted from the price. The discussion and watch making session took about 2 hours. It is a family run company and the owners were there. They made you feel very welcome and treated you like family. It's a small shop, but it's where the watches are actually made. There were no crowds, we took the class privately. The atmosphere was very casual and friendly. This is best suited for teenagers and older. We watched while Jannick took a watch apart and explained the pieces to us. We then put the watch back together (with his help haha). After the "class" we went to lunch and came back and purchased a watch. You can take a class in which you make your own watch, but since we didn't think we would purchase one we didn't do that. But in the end the watches are very special and I decided to get one. Since they needed to put it together, Massimo, one of the owners delivered it to our hotel the next morning because we were leaving to go to St. Moritz. They truly treated us like family.

Timeless Watchmaking Experience
Any visit to Switzerland brings to mind horology. A hands on experience best way to immerse yourself in watchmaking. From the tour of the atelier to to the history and theory of watch assembly to the hands on experience of putting a mechanical mechanism back together into a working watch was quite fulfilling. Masha was quite communicative and helpful - from initial inquiry, selection of watch, and finally matching straps. The class was awesome. To leave with a watch for which I chose the options (face, complications, etc.) but best of all assisted in its final assembly was tremendously rewarding!

Fun visit with my son!
Excellent experience if you like watches or are just curious. My son and I are both engineers and asked many questions. The watchmaker was very knowledgeable and answered them patiently. Great to learn about watches! NOTE: the business has moved to Ramistrasse 5 which is about 15 minutes walk from their original location.
Response from the operator: Hi Eric, thank you so much for your review. It was great having you. Best wishes Massimo

great time!
This was a great experience for my son and I. We really enjoyed it! The watchmaker was engaging, entertaining, and patient with all of my questions. It was really cool to use the monocle / jewelers loop to see the tiny watch components. I highly recommend this tour!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for the positive feedback. We are happy that you enjoyed your TIME with us. All the best from Zurich

Why this scores 67
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
À Maurice Watch Workshop in Zurich: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Zurich.
How much does À Maurice Watch Workshop in Zurich cost?
+
Prices start at $230 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Zurich usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does À Maurice Watch Workshop in Zurich take?
+
Plan for about 1 hour from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Zurich is not rushed.
Is À Maurice Watch Workshop in Zurich worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 67 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 36 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Zurich, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule À Maurice Watch Workshop in Zurich?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is À Maurice Watch Workshop in Zurich suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book À Maurice Watch Workshop in Zurich?
+
Around 13 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Zurich can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Zurich and add a light layer if any part of the 1-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does À Maurice Watch Workshop in Zurich start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Zurich within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Zurich?
+
On Outty we rank every Zurich experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Zurich Food Tour with 10 Local Delicacies, Cheeses & Chocolates, Private, excellent guided tour of Zurich (from CHF 21/pers.), Zürich Historic District Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Zurich?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Zurich?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
