Program

The uniqueness of the SEW Prague accompanying program is mainly in bringing a chance to listen to the lectures of many experienced and well-informed professionals from the watch industry. This makes this event one of its kind in the Czech Republic. From local watch industry experts, watch manufacturers, to representatives of particular Czech and foreign brands. You can look forward to meeting Swiss, German, Slovak, American representatives and many more. The debate which presents one of the highlights of the Saturday’s program has once again a controversial topic: What is better, an original clockwork or a caliber from ETA or other mass producers? The cherry on the top of Saturday’s run of lectures is the presentation of Les Ateliérs Louis Moinet brand. The company founder, Jean-Marie Schaller will obtain the award for the contribution and development of the world’s watch industry.
We hope you will enjoy the SEW 2019 lectures listed below as much as our fine watch exhibition.
