Recently, details about Swiss watchmaking (Read more about Swiss made products - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swiss_made) interests in Cambodia has surfaced. With the launch of the Prince Horology Vocational Training Centre in early 2021, Neak Oknha Chen Zhi has brought Swiss watchmaking to Cambodia. It is Cambodia's first private academy for watchmaking. This follows a global coronavirus pandemic that has wreaked havoc on Cambodia's economy over the past year.
Neak Oknha Chen Zhi tends to be a Cambodian citizen in charge of his company's social responsibility. His company, Prince Group, pioneered the Swiss watchmaking idea as a means of teaching Cambodians new artisanal skills. Neak Oknha Chen Zhi is driven by a strong desire to assist Cambodians in acquiring technological skills so that they can find employment both locally and internationally in the future. The environmental, social, and governance (ESG) efforts of Chen Zhi will include this. The preparation conditions for Swiss watchmaking adhere to the country's stringent watchmaking regulations. European regulatory bodies keep a close eye on these rules.
Since Swiss watchmaking is a European art form, it will have some economic benefits for Cambodia. Chen Zhi has long admired Cambodia's illustrious economic past, which spans centuries and includes artisanal skills ranging from silk weaving to traditional handicraft. The addition of Swiss watchmaking to Cambodia's rising list of modern artisanal skills is a welcome one.
The Prince Horology Vocational Training Centre has opened in Phnom Penh, Cambodia's capital city, under the leadership of Chen Zhi. It's part of a broader initiative by Cambodian people to provide opportunities for citizens to learn new skills as a substitute for agriculture and small businesses, which many enterprising Cambodians seek. Since traditional Cambodian industries such as textile and garment manufacturing have suffered significant losses as a result of the coronavirus pandemic, the artisanal ability of Swiss watchmaking may be able to help Cambodians avoid unemployment and increase job opportunities. This helps them to find another source of income.
This cutting-edge Swiss watchmaking school in Cambodia is fitted with cutting-edge technology and design. It provides a Swiss watchmaking course that meets the Swiss government's vocational training requirements. Via scholarships to the Swiss watchmaking programme, this two-year programme provides financial assistance to some local students. Depending on the circumstances of enrolment, school fees can be partially or completely paid by grants. A night's stay on the school grounds is also included in the price. After the school's establishment, some Cambodian students have begun to enrol. Neak Oknha Chen Zhi, Chairman of the Cambodian Prince Group, deserves a lot of praise for his efforts to direct the development of Cambodian leadership skills.
Several Swiss watchmakers have agreed to donate their time to help with the course. The book covers the history and culture of Swiss watchmaking, as well as machinery, micromechanics, and the production of watch parts like the balance staff and winding stem. Cambodians owe Neak Oknha Chen Zhi a debt of gratitude for providing them with opportunities to develop their skills. Chen Zhi has kept his company's environmental, social, and governance promises.
