Swiss watchmaking experts Initium are happy to announce the launch of their very first watch assembling kit, now enabling their clients and followers to experience creating their own mechanical Swiss watch at home. After over a year and a half of development, the Jura-based company is proud to offer this new didactic approach to watchmaking, bringing them one step closer to their worldwide community.
Initium has been rooted in the historic cradle of watchmaking since its creation. Dedicated to sharing the history and legacy of Swiss watchmaking since 2015, Initium has been offering unique trainings and bespoke experiences in creating mechanical Swiss watches, from a simple introduction to assembling a complete watch over a day.
In 2021, the company is taking this heritage one step further, and is happy to launch its watch assembling kits, available as of November 2021 in over 100 countries. Including all the necessary instructions and materials for a one-of-a-kind independent initiation to watchmaking, the kits “Kairos” turn homes into true workshops.
The watch’s components – the case, movement, hands, dial and straps – can be selected among a wide range of options online, before the kit is directly shipped from Switzerland to the owner’s home in a high-end vegan leather satchel which encompasses the complete watchmaking tools.
The Initium kit “Kairos” pushes the limits of watchmaking further, by offering a sustainable and bespoke experience, regardless of any location worldwide. Much more than a simple toolkit, it showcases a didactic method including video tutorials and instructions from a Master watchmaker in French and English. A forum is accessible anywhere in the world, 24/7, offering a platform to share inquiries and exchange about watchmaking.
Transforming any desk or dining table into a watchmaker’s bench, the satchel embodies components which can be kept for a lifetime, transforming a unique experience into an unforgettable memory and a tailor-made watch.
The kits are available at our Geneva, Le Noirmont and Gebertingen workshops for testing upon request. Get in touch with our team to book your next appointment, or join our community of investors, as one of our “Initiators”.
