Inside Prestigious Horological Archives

Immersive, expert-led journeys tailored to individual passions, designed exclusively for private parties and featuring a signature Mandarin Oriental welcome and touches.


Mandarin Oriental has partnered with The Luminaire, who create luxury travel experiences that offer a deeper understanding of the world, to design a collection of transformational journeys for a growing number of our hotels.


To many, watches are endlessly fascinating, infinitely collectable and uniquely beautiful. And yet those houses and artisans at the heart of the heritage and innovation in fine horology - in Switzerland - remain elusive and inaccessible. Until now.


This three-day journey through Geneva’s rich horological heritage has been designed for avid admirers and collectors of fine watches. Learn from experts in a private hands-on watchmaking workshop at the Fondation de la Haute Horlogerie, gain exclusive access to MB&F's M.A.D.House, and explore the unmatched collection at the Patek Philippe Museum alongside an expert.


Price from £4,750 per person, for 2 nights, based on 2 people travelling.
