Geneva, 19 August 2024 – For the second consecutive year, the Fondation Haute Horlogerie is teaming up with the Geneva Watch Days, with an expanded presence and diverse programming across the four-day event, from 29 August to 2 September 2024. This takes place within the framework of the officialization of a partnership between the two organisations, with a common goal: the promotion of watchmaking.
Ever since the Fondation Haute Horlogerie refocused its mission on its cultural activities in early 2023, the organisation has been relentlessly increasing its presence and visibility across the international horological calendar, beginning with its initial foray into the 2023 edition of the Geneva Watch Days. For the 2024 edition, the FHH’s involvement has only grown with it becoming an official partner of the now unmissable four-day event, and an expanded programme of FHH-branded activations:

“Always on” activities
In addition to the above daily activities, the Geneva Watch Days will hold a dedicated space in its Cultural Centre for amateurs and experts alike wishing to learn more about the FHH’s activities.
The FHH’s annual cultural exhibition held in its Pont de la Machine headquarters, entitled “Watches and Talents”, which has been extremely well received by over 7’500 locals and tourists since its inauguration in early June, will extend its opening hours such that it will continue to be open to the public until 2 September 2024, coinciding with the end of the fair.
