As the Fondation Haute Horlogerie (FHH) Academy celebrates its 10th anniversary, it announces a significant partnership with The Hour Markers, enhancing its footprint in the Indian market. This collaboration aims to engage both watch enthusiasts and professionals across this rapidly growing region.
Marking a decade of excellence in horological education, the FHH Academy has been instrumental in democratizing watchmaking culture. Over the years, the academy has empowered more than 35,000 alumni globally through its unique international training program, certifying over 12,000 individuals. The success of the FHH Academy is attributed to its dedicated local trainers and distributors across 22 countries, a lesser-known but vital aspect of its expansive reach.
The Hour Markers, a prominent media enterprise in India, joins the esteemed ranks of FHH Academy distributors. Renowned for its commitment to horology, The Hour Markers upholds high standards of integrity and accuracy in its content. The platform, dedicated to fostering a deeper appreciation for the art and science of watchmaking, will now disseminate FHH’s educational content through its media channels and host events leveraging its extensive local networks.
Aurélie Streit, Vice-President of the Fondation Haute Horlogerie and founder of the FHH Academy, remarked, “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 center of this exciting period of expansion in the region.”
The co-founders of The Hour Markers, Karishma Karer and Punit Mehta, shared their enthusiasm: “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.”
