Horopedia – the Wikipedia of horology – debuts

The first universal and multilingual encyclopaedia dedicated exclusively to the world of watchmaking was unveiled on August 30 at 10am CET, symbolically in Geneva, at the Geneva Watch Days 2022 Pavilion. Open to everyone, from big companies and watchmakers to the general public, the neutral, and independent digital platform, named Horopedia, aims to share all the knowledge and highlight horological know-how with its technical and artistic skills. The main tools for Horopedia, in addition to texts, will be visual images and short films, emphasising the human side of watchmaking. Horopedia, which can be consulted simply and for free, like Wikipedia, is organised as a non-profit Swiss foundation. The Horopedia Foundation Board is composed of Philippe Dufour (President), Dr Helmut Crott, André Colard, and Marc André Deschoux as Executive Director.
