CARTIER WATCHMAKING INSTITUTE
In 1993, Cartier opened the doors of the Cartier Watchmaking Institute in Switzerland. This pioneering institution was founded to meet the vital need for in-house training, ensuring the preservation and perpetuation of the watchmaking professions.
For over thirty years, the Institute has shared its mastery with the apprentices and craftspeople of the Cartier Manufactures, providing training in watchmaking and mechanical trades.
MISSIONS
The Institute is dedicated to perpetuating, passing down and developing watchmaking techniques that are specific to the Maison. The Institute also aims to attract new talent and support their development, creating professions to nurture the next generation of watchmakers.
TRAINING PROGRAMS
The Institute offers a variety of training pathways: apprenticeships for the next generation, continued education for adults and tailored support for those seeking a change in career.
LOCATIONS
Each of the four Cartier Horlogerie production sites – Couvet, La Chaux-de-Fonds, Glovelier, and Villars-sur-Glâne – offers a specific selection of apprenticeship opportunities.
