The FHH Partners with The Hour Markers in India

Geneva, 16 February 2024 – As the FHH Academy celebrates its 10th anniversary this year, it also strengthens its ties in the Indian market by partnering with The Hour Markers to reach inquisitive watch enthusiasts and professionals alike across the burgeoning region.

After a decade of shaping horological minds, the FHH Academy proudly celebrates its 10th anniversary in 2024. The organisation’s impressive journey over the years has been marked by several significant achievements, all aimed at spreading and democratising watchmaking education and culture.
 

Since its founding, the FHH Academy has empowered over 35,000 alumni with the only international training programme of its kind, and officially certified over 12,000 of them, via the tireless efforts of its local trainers and distributors across 22 countries. This aspect of the FHH Academy’s organisation around external entities may be lesser known but it is nevertheless crucial to its success on such a wide scale.
 

Today, The Hour Markers, a reputed media enterprise in India, joins the ranks of other FHH Academy distributors, marking an important moment for the FHH Academy’s expansion into India. The Hour Markers is a premier platform dedicated to the world of horology, committed to maintaining the highest standards of integrity and accuracy in all their content. With a team dedicated to fostering a deeper appreciation for the art and science of watchmaking, The Hour Markers will work in accordance with and disseminate the FHH’s educational content through its media channels, and via events hosted across its extensive local networks.
 

Aurélie Streit, Vice-President of the Fondation Haute Horlogerie and founder of the FHH Academy, said: “As part of this significant year in its history, 2024 has seen the FHH Academy host dynamic events across key markets around the globe and launch a series of learning videos which also highlighted FHH Academy content. It seems only natural that we also make sure to partner with the best in the industry, such as The Hour Markers in India, to ensure the FHH and its Academy’s content reach the widest audience possible. India also stands out more than ever as the next frontier for horology, and the FHH wants to be at the centre of this exciting period of expansion in the region.”

Co-founders of The Hour Markers, Karishma Karer and Punit Mehta, added: "The Hour Markers is the largest media house from India, and we are thrilled to now also be representatives of the FHH in this market. This partnership only reinstates our commitment to the watch industry locally, which our parent company has been serving for over seven decades now. The commitment to excellence and passion for horology that we share with the FHH will enable us to bring unparalleled insights, events, and educational content to watch brands, watch retailers, and watch enthusiasts across the nation, covering the entire industry diaspora in the country. Together with FHH, we aim to elevate the appreciation and understanding of fine watchmaking, fostering a deeper connection between the art of horology and the discerning Indian audience."
