Fondation de la Haute Horlogerie

Five years on, and the Fondation de la Haute Horlogerie is a reality anchored in a more innovative than visionary idea that has won the consensus of the branch and its players.

Fine Watchmaking belongs to the world of luxury, where culture, tradition, creation and innovation are the cornerstones of expertise that nurtures the present and is also the very definition of excellence.

As a Foundation established in Geneva, the Fondation de la Haute Horlogerie is ingrained in the Swiss landscape. But not only. Its vocation is also to conquer the world and explore new territories as they open up to Fine Watchmaking. Similarly, as much as we address affluent individuals, persons of style and taste, we also reach out to the young generations, the only ones who can bring the very special culture of an exceptional product to life.

Through its actions, the Fondation de la Haute Horlogerie pays tribute to a profession which expresses its knowledge and know-how in pieces which must bow to the uncompromising laws of the applied arts, but which make life so much more beautiful.
