Heck The Rat Race; Become A Rolex Certified Watchmaker
The industry leader in mechanical watches has a training program
The watch media is abuzz with news that the Swiss luxury brand everyone loves (and sometimes loves to hate) is opening a new training center.
National Jeweler reports:
The Rolex Watchmaking Training Center (RWTC) is located within the Rolex Service Center on North Harwood Street in Uptown Dallas.
The brand said the school, which is currently under construction, will occupy the fourth floor of the building.
It will accept 15 students for the inaugural class, set to commence in September, and 15 in each class thereafter beginning in March and September annually.
RWTC is a tuition-free school that will offer an 18-month program during which students will receive technical training alongside more conceptual education.
Six months of the program will be spent focusing on the repair and service of Rolex watches. It is the only program in the United States to offer this, according to Rolex.
A Blog To Watch reports:
No pressure, but you’ll want to know that each course culminates with a final exam at Rolex headquarters, in Geneva, Switzerland, and students who graduated as Rolex Certified Watchmakers are eligible for job placement in the Rolex affiliate network.
Ah to be young and carefree, embarking on a lifetime spent with the masterpieces of horology. I envy them.
With this watchmaking certification, the world is your oyster (perpetual), as you could ply the trade in any country on the globe, where quality watches are worn.
