Korpela & Hofs Watchmaking Competence Centre

Korpela & Hofs Watchmaking Competence Centre The K&H Watchmaking Competence Centre, an international and independent watchmaking school. We are committed to excellence in teaching, not just watchmaking.

The Korpela & Hofs Watchmaking Competence Centre has been established to provide watchmaking courses that focuses not only on High End After sales service, but which also encourages technical creativity, design and strong watchmaking fundamentals. KHWCC has a highly structured but liberal environment where independent thought is valued and students are actively encouraged to achieve their full pot

ential. Our goal is to teach skills and principles fundamental to watchmaking and micromechanics. Once the student establishes these foundations, we encourage and guide them to explore their own technical creativity and innovation. In this way, students develop the skill, knowledge and confidence to face the ever-evolving watchmaking industry. As KHWCC is not reliant on corporate donations, we are afforded greater scope and independence to enhance the learning experience. Therefore, KHWCC is able to achieve true autonomy in watchmaking education because it is a fully independent instution operated by highly skilled and experienced watchmakers and teachers.
