Does anyone have any more info about this competition? The message addresses "students" but are those students currently enrolled in watchmaking school, or students like me who are enrolled in grade school?
Since I can't post links on the forum, here is word for word what the page says:
"April 19 and 20, 2012
(3rd edition)
Dear students:
Patek Philippe proudly announces the forthcoming 3rd edition of its annual "Craftsmanship and Precision" competition.
Demonstrate your skills and your motivation to be selected by your school as one of the three students who are eligible to participate in the competition.
The reward is an unforgettable hands-on experience in our family-owned manufacture as well as the chance to win an internship position at one of Patek Philippe's services centers abroad.
We eagerly look forward to meeting and welcoming the promising, talented individuals who will help shape the future of watchmaking.
For further information, contact your supervising instructor."

I fix watches on my spare time, from simple ones with time only functions to complications like quarter repeaters and this would be an amazing opportunity to visit Patek's manufacture, so any info about it would be lovely! It states that you should contact your supervising instructor, but I doubt anyone in my school would know about this. Please give me good news and tell me it's for students enrolled in grade school! haha
Regards,
Gary
