Horopedia 2024
Creator of horopedia.org, the first online video encyclopaedia dedicated to watchmaking, the Horopedia Foundation will be at the very heart of the Geneva Watch Days, from 4 to 7 September 2025. This unmissable event brings together enthusiasts, professionals and curious visitors from all horizons to celebrate watchmaking excellence.
True to its public-interest mission – to preserve and transmit horological know-how through engaging and accessible content (texts and videos) – Horopedia has a major surprise in store this year. After months of work behind the scenes, a groundbreaking and impactful project will mark a decisive milestone for the Foundation. It will open a new chapter for watchmaking on economic, cultural and educational levels, while further strengthening Geneva’s reputation as the capital of time.

The website features nearly 900 pages with detailed definitions of watchmaking terms and historical anecdotes about significant horological inventions.
Horopedia.org meticulously covers all facets of the fascinating horological industry in French, English, and German. It offers detailed definitions of tools and complications, 3D images of movements, and thorough video explanations of component production, their history, and functions in a watch.
