Training
Training plays a vital role in conveying and maintaining knowledge. The Fondation de
la Haute Horlogerie considers training as more than a service proposed; it is a value it
upholds. The Foundation has a mission to unlock the mysteries of time measurement for
horology’s many admirers, but also to arm sales staff with the understanding that is essential to their job. Through its professional training, the Fondation de la Haute Horlogerie
responds to the needs of sales teams at watchmakers and retailers worldwide.
Training means developing new skills, together.
