This museum is simply sensational. The architecture, the didactics, the exhibits, the equipment and design, the tour guide ... during the tour, there was always "just one more thing“ added on top. Thanks to Sandra and Urte.

a truly unique experience at the Musée Atelier. it started with a warm, personalized welcome in the family room. our guide was incredibly knowledgeable and passionate, dedicating more than two hours to showing us the museum, telling stories and answering all our questions about AP. the temporary exhibition, on view for the 150th anniversary, offers a memorable visit all together.

Our guide Yana was amazing, she took a lot of time and effort to explain everything in detail to us and made sure there are no questions unanswered in the end. It was a great experience and I would recommend anyone to book a tour through this museum.

A fantastic experience for watch lovers. You have to prebook and they only allow 6 visitors per day. The tour started in the oldest room of the manufacture and took us to the snail shaped museum with glass walls. The guide was very knowledgeable and explained the basics of mechanical watches like the escapement. There was a workbench where you could try your hand at polishing a bezel and picking up tiny screws and screw them into a copper plate.The highlight was the collection of Royal Oak AP watches and the new tourbillon created with Marvel Classics. (already sold out, I am afraid). If you are in the neigbourhood of Le Brassus and like watches, don't hestitate and arrange a visit.

Fantastic private visit of the museum. So much to see, the explanations and anecdotes given from the guide were really interesting. Only available on booking so be prepared and find a spot a few weeks before visiting.

Excellent guided tour, incredible watches and beautiful architecture- and you even get to try your hand at some basic decoration techniques. You need to pre-book online in advance.

As someone who has assembled a personal collection over the years, visiting the AP Museum was both humbling and inspiring. The architecture, the silence, the attention to detail, everything reflects a deep respect for time itself. Seeing iconic pieces in their historical context gave me a new appreciation for the legacy of the Manufacture. A true sanctuary of horology. Faisal

I visited the musee atelier in august of 2020 and had a great time and I had the master class last week. I highly recommend to do it if you are interested in AP and watches in general. The whole team there is very friendly and it was really interesting to work on the actual calibre 4302 of the royal oak which is on my wish list and see how the last steps come together and make the watch move. Willy was a great host and very patient. It was not that easy as a beginner to work on the movement. My screws were flying around the room...:)
