ABOUT HOROPEDIA
The Horopedia Foundation was established in February 2023 and received public interest status. The Foundation’s Board is composed of Philippe Dufour (President), Dr Helmut Crott, André Colard and Marc André Deschoux. The Foundation manages Horopedia.org, the first online video encyclopedia on watchmaking. The platform was launched in 2022 and quickly received unanimous support within the community.
To date, more than 100 multilingual documentary films on Museums, watchmaking schools, horological tools and components, and the mechanical principles behind their operation can be found on Horopedia.org. To strengthen its educational mission, the platform also incorporates visual teaching aids to facilitate a better understanding of the information provided. The site offers nearly 1000 pages with detailed definitions of horological terms and historical anecdotes about significant horological inventions.
Horopedia.org meticulously covers all aspects of the fascinating watchmaking industry in French, English and German. It offers detailed definitions of tools and complications, 3D images of movements, and in-depth video explanations on the production of components, their history and their functions in a watch. A dedicated section of the site lists horological institutions, including schools and Museums in Switzerland and around the world.
