The FHH celebrates its twentieth anniversary

The Fondation de la Haute Horlogerie (FHH) celebrated its 20th anniversary at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel in Geneva, followed by an exhibition opening at its headquarters located on the city’s landmark Pont de la Machine. To mark this event, a number of guests and partners attended, including Ilaria Resta (CEO Audemars Piguet, Patrick Pruniaux (Chairman & CEO Girard-Perregaux) and Cyrille Vigneron (Chairman of Culture and Philanthropy at Cartier, representing Richemont).

At the press conference, the FHH announced a new online public training platform called FHH Boutique. It also opened “Watch Makers”, an exhibition dedicated to the art, craft and the timeless value of horology.

This experiential event is curated to offer an immersive, multi-sensory journey into the fascinating world of watchmaking. Educational and hands-on experiences designed to introduce watchmaking and artisanal skills to visitors include movement assembly and decoration, gem-setting, case engraving and marquetry. This has been made possible with the help of 30 partner brands. The exhibition will run until 7 September 2025.

In its 20th anniversary year, the FHH will reaffirm its mission with a renewed focus on inclusion and universal access, taking the story of watchmaking to dynamic new audiences beyond the watch industry with a wave of compelling new initiatives and partnerships designed to draw in the next generation of watchmakers and enthusiasts.
