Fine Watchmaking Foundation

Fine Watchmaking Foundation

The Richemont group, to which the Baume & Mercier brand belongs, is one of the founding members of the Fine Watchmaking Foundation. The Fine Watchmaking Foundation has one main aim: to exert the influence of the culture of technical and precise fine watchmaking around the world through its designs, inventions and know-how.

At the crossroads of art and techniques, fine watchmaking offers our contemporaries "additional soul". Fine watchmaking is culture incarnate with the power to fire the imagination. It is also a wealth of know-how, craftsmen and women and secular arts that is one of its kind. But if it draws its strength from tradition and its roots, it has also since the beginning of time known how to look towards the future, innovating formally as well as technically.

The Fine Watchmaking Foundation created the web site www.hautehorlogerie.org, the portal of fine watchmaking to distribute, reinforce and enhance this fine heritage.
