Seven framed drawings by Mark Levy drafted as part of his coursework whilst studying at the Ecole d’horlogerie, part of the technicum of La Chaux de Fonds Switzerland. The course included lessons in technical drawing by Samuel Guye who was the Principal of the Technicum and co-author of “Technique and History of the Swiss Watch". The framed drawings start with simple line exercises to learn how to draw straight and cleanly between points followed by curves. These led to drawings of watch parts and mechanics.
