It’s a page full of human warmth and commitment that has been abruptly turned. Without warning, a chapter in which the legacy of watchmaking knowledge could be read on every line has closed. The death notice has now appeared in La Tribune de Gen\u00e8ve, on the 13th of November 2023. Pierre Amstutz’s departure comes “barely four days after the resumption of classes in the new premises<\/em>“, exclaimed a grieved St\u00e9phane Cruchaud<\/a>, his deputy.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Carmelo Armeli: “Pierre, no matter how busy he was, always took the time to listen to you”.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The list of watchmakers who have trained in Geneva is replete with prestigious names and world-renowned signatures. All of them, including those less publicized by the media, owe part of their status to this very institution, as well as to those who managed it or taught there. The entire Swiss watchmaking industry, far beyond the borders of Geneva, is in mourning. “Pierre, even if he was very busy, always took the time to listen to you,<\/em>” says Carmelo Armeli<\/a>, the anti-counterfeiting expert who worked with him at Rolex.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>
