“You do not only learn a gesture. You learn to read a component, name a gap and hold a level.”Alexandra Schmitz

Role of the Journal

A reading centre to reach the right content quickly.

The Journal gathers different types of content and separates them clearly: definitions, workshop view, news and media.

It is here to open the right door at the right moment, rather than to search through a vague page where everything would have the same status.

Understand Put precise words, useful criteria and solid reference points in place at the bench.

Find your way Go to the right entry depending on the need: learn, hear a point of view, follow or retrieve.

Theoretical foundations

To lay the groundwork before judging a component, a gesture or a finishing criterion.

What is anglage? Read the history of watchmaking anglage From execution needs to today’s standards.
Understand why brilliance attracts us What brilliance activates in the eye and why it captures attention so quickly.
Learn to read an anglage beyond sparkle See how well a component holds up, not only how it shines.

Alexandra’s perspective

A practitioner’s voice on the gesture, the tool, correction and the level that can truly be defended.
