Continuing our tour of the ateliers


 
More men busy working on the Octa line.


          
Benoît


      
Toni      


      
    Damien

      
Frédéric




And in the last Octa room we have :

      
Christophe                                                  Frédérique


      
Emmanuel                                                  Simon



Simon making sure the part is 'just right'.



After Sales Service



      

          Takeshi, who is learning the ropes in after-sales service here in Geneva for 12 months so he that can
          take his skills back to Toyko. The idea is to speed up turn around time for minor servicing in Japan.


      
Christian  . . . It looks like he is working on something Top-Secret ! 

      
José


Moving upstairs now we have :

      

     Loic in charge of I.T., looking dwarfed by his huge;                    Frank looks after the non-watch stores.
     however, unfortunately temporary, office.

      
Chef d'Atelier George, who is in charge of the watchmakers and is the general 'trouble-shooter'.


                  
Irène who looks after Quality Control. Every watch that goes out the door must pass her eagle eyes first.


            
Brigitte is in charge of watch parts. She prepares parts kits to supply each watchmaker as and when needed.



                   The 'Skunk Works' (aka Reseach and Development) with David (left) and Claude (right).
                   They put François-Paul's (new) ideas,drawings and plans into the computer.
                   Strange how all the screens quickly changed when I entered with a camera
