Are you passionate about watches and thinking about a career change, but worried it might be too late? Think again: watchmaking is one of the finest trades in which to start a second career, whatever your age.

Manufactures and independent workshops greatly value career-changers. The maturity, patience and rigour developed in your previous professional life are precious assets at the bench. Moreover, contrary to popular belief, declining eyesight is not a major obstacle, since watchmakers work constantly under a loupe or magnifying microscope.

The only real challenge of a career change is fitting learning around your current life. This is where a flexible digital course really shows its value, letting you learn at your own pace without leaving your job.

Career-changers usually start with the same two questions — how long it takes and what it costs. Both are answered in how to learn watchmaking online, and the first steps are laid out in watchmaking for beginners.

Turn your passion into your future career. With the Décalibre online course, study watchmaking theory from home and prepare your professional transition with complete peace of mind.
