New chair at EPFL to promote use of nanotechnology in Swiss watch industry
Abstract:
The luxury watch manufacturer Patek Philippe is to endow a chair at Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) dedicated to the application of new micro- and nanotechnologies to watchmaking.
The chair will be associated with the Institute of Microengineering (IMT) and based in Neuchâtel. Patek Philippe will fund the position of a professor and his or her research team, and EPFL will provide the infrastructure at IMT.
IMT, set up in 2009 to create a centre of excellence, is now home to several research teams and a network that brings together all the major players in the Swiss microengineering industry.
