Workshop News
A page to make visible what is shown, what circulates, and what concretely comes out of the workshop.
This page brings together the clearest highlights of the moment: Art de l’Anglage’s presence in Geneva as part of Time to Watches, several student books now available to consult, and outreach interventions that show the craft at the level of gesture and trained observation.
From 14 to 19 April 2026, Art de l’Anglage will be present in Geneva as part of Time to Watches. The point is not simply to be there: it is to show the gesture live, open useful conversations, and make the level readable beyond the workshop.
This presence naturally extends the workshop’s work: hand and micromotor anglage demonstrations, conversations with professionals, meetings with profiles trained in the workshop, and discussions around subcontracting, training, and the development of an in-house decoration department.
A short sequence to clearly situate Art de l’Anglage’s presence at Time to Watches 2026.
The workshop does not merely talk about the gesture. It trains, supports, and produces results that can now be consulted directly through several graduation books.
Coming from precision micro-mechanics, Aristide completed a full 100-hour anglage training course in the workshop. His book shows solid progress in file anglage, micromotor work, straight graining, satin finishing and polished drops.
Trained over 100 hours, young watchmaker Gwenaël worked on file anglage and micromotor anglage, straight graining, satin finishing and polished drops. His path shows a diligent, precise profile already strongly oriented toward the decorative crafts of movement finishing.
With a background rich in grinding and industrial precision, Pierre turned his technical base into a more artisanal mastery. His book highlights a very strong level in straight graining, hand and micromotor anglage, inward angles, satin finishing and the reading of volumes.
Sébastien arrived with an already solid background in movement decoration. His path in the workshop extends that level of demand with very clean work in file anglage, micromotor finishing, straight graining, satin finishing and the most demanding components.
On 15 November 2025, Alexandra took part in a discovery day on anglage at BBZ CFP Biel-Bienne. The setup was simple: a little theory, a live demonstration, then each student at the bench with a brass part, a file, a cabron, a polishing stick and polishing paste.
What made the difference was not a speech. It was the possibility of seeing the gesture up close: the material responding, the light settling or relaxing, the corrections visible to the whole class each time a part came back under the optical system. In those moments, an interest can become a direction.
