E‑TukTuk Through Genève’s Watchmaking Heart — Ride, Meet a Master, Make a Timepiece

E‑TukTuk Through Genève’s Watchmaking Heart — Ride, Meet a Master, Make a Timepiece.
Welo Swiss stitches a short, intense arc through Geneva’s clockwork culture: a quiet eTukTuk ride across the city that ends inside the workshop of master watchmaker Cédric Johner, where participants learn and practice traditional watchmaking by hand. It’s part city tour, part craft intensive — a concentrated encounter with the techniques and passion that sustain Geneva’s watchmaking tradition.

A short eTukTuk circuit through Genève
The outing begins with a 1.5-hour eTukTuk tour of Geneva, framing the city’s watchmaking sites and setting the context for the hands-on session that follows.
Meet watchmaker Cédric Johner
The tour culminates in a personal encounter with Cédric Johner in his workshop — an opportunity to observe a working master and learn about his creations, craft, and methods.
Hands-on watchmaking: build your own piece
Participants spend 1.5 hours in a workshop setting practicing traditional techniques and assembling elements of a timepiece by hand under the watchmaker’s guidance.
What the day feels like
What the half-day feels like
The experience is paced as two distinct halves: a guided eTukTuk ride through Geneva that orients you to the city’s watchmaking story, followed by an intimate, tactile workshop where you work directly with components and techniques under a master’s supervision. Together the two parts form a compact immersion into the craft and culture of Geneva watchmaking.
