Serhat Saat and Istanbul Bilgi University Partnership: “Anatomy of a Watch” Workshop – Innovative Contributions to Academia and Industry

Serhat Saat and Istanbul Bilgi University jointly organized the “Anatomy of a Watch: Principles of Mechanism Functioning” workshop, which made a significant impact in both academic and professional circles. The event took place in Kazandibi on Thursday, March 6, from 09:00 to 12:00. With the participation of many students and relevant course attendees, this workshop offered a valuable opportunity for participants to gain in-depth knowledge about the workings of watch mechanisms and to design their own creations. The workshop was led by Serhat Saat’s master watchmaker and was further enriched by the contributions of expert instructors Rana İmam Esirger, Suat Batuhan Esirger, and Department Head Özlem Er through

interactive presentations and hands-on sessions.During the workshop, participants thoroughly learned about the basic structure of Japanese watch mechanisms, the differences between Swiss and Japanese watch systems, and effective solutions to common issues in mechanical watches. Students actively engaged in identifying watch components and performing repair tasks, thereby reinforcing their theoretical knowledge with practical experience. These hands-on sessions ensured that the topics were conveyed in a clear, step-by-step manner. In addition, interactive discussions and group work helped participants develop creative thinking skills and gain diverse perspectives.

As a demonstration of our commitment and support for the academic community, this event marks the beginning of Serhat Saat’s ongoing collaboration with academia. We aim not only to contribute to the professional development of students but also to foster the sharing of knowledge and the emergence of innovative ideas within academic circles. At Serhat Saat, we are dedicated to standing by the academic world and sharing our expertise, experience, and technological solutions through projects like this. This workshop provided participants with profound insights through interactive educational sessions, practical exercises, and comprehensive discussions, leaving a lasting and sustainable impact in the academic arena. Looking forward, we plan to further strengthen our collaboration with academia through similar initiatives, reinforcing our vision of being at the forefront of innovative approaches in both academic and professional fields.
