On his chosen profession
“I chose this profession with the help of my entourage, my friends. As I explained during the interview on the first day of filming, my professional journey began in the automotive world, in automobile repair. I then changed my vocation and entered the world of watchmaking, as a versatile worker (Galvano and later, CNC operator). I discovered this magnificent dial factory which is Metalem and this is where my adventure really begins. After ten years working as a press setter, I had the opportunity to become manager of the Raw Index Manufacturing department.”
His advice for future generations
“To have enormous patience and a sense of self-sacrifice.”
