Re: any course in horology?

I have a school friend who runs a small private watch making school. All his course are in French though - although I could act as translator for a short course and provide accommodation. By pm please.

The Korpela & Hofs school in La Chaux de Fonds does courses in English and have one called Introduction to Watchmaking Techniques.
