At the end of a watchmaking course, the student will assemble a watch from beginning to end including the movement and this watch will carry a special dial or caseback (as seen here). Patrick Conus is a chief watchmaker at Patek Philippe today, the neighbour of Tudor and Rolex in Geneva. He was in charge of training watchmakers at Patek and now works in the special workshop for tourbillon watchmaking.
