Overview
Few people know the souls of things, and even fewer can make these souls perceptible and tangible to others. Maurice can. If you also desire to belong to this chosen group, you must come to Maurice. “à Maurice”, from Maurice de Mauriac, is a meeting place for people who want to feel and experience the soul of mechanical watches.
You’ll disassemble a Unitas pocket movement – the device that powers a manual watch – and then reassemble it under the watchful eye of a private watchmaker.
