MEET US AT OUR INTERACTIVE BOOTH TO EXPLORE HOROLOGY IN A NEW WAY
From September 2 to 6, 2026, the Horopedia Foundation will be present at the Geneva Watch Days. This new edition will be an opportunity to discover a redesigned booth centered around a more interactive experience, showcasing the horopedia.org encyclopedia while allowing visitors to learn more about the Maison des Arts & de la Culture Horlogère (MACH) project.
After taking part in several major international watchmaking events, the Horopedia Foundation continues its mission of knowledge sharing by joining the new edition of the Geneva Watch Days, which will be held from September 2 to 6, 2026 in Geneva.
This year, the Horopedia booth is evolving to offer an even more interactive experience. Thanks to a dedicated device, visitors will be able to explore the encyclopedia in a fun and intuitive way, discover its recent developments and navigate through more than 100 educational films and 1,000 pages of content dedicated to the professions, techniques, components and mechanical principles of watchmaking.
The Geneva Watch Days will also be an opportunity to meet the Foundation’s team and learn more about the progress of the Maison des Arts & de la Culture Horlogère (MACH) project. This future Geneva museum space led by Horopedia aims to offer a new approach to watchmaking cultural mediation, combining heritage, digital content and immersive experiences.
Whether you are a professional, a student, a collector, an enthusiast or simply curious, we will be happy to exchange with you about our actions in favor of the preservation, transmission and promotion of watchmaking culture and know-how.

ABOUT HOROPEDIA
The Horopedia Foundation was created 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 horology. The platform was launched in 2022 and quickly received unanimous support within the community.
To date, more than 100 multilingual documentary films on Museums, horology schools, watchmaking tools and components, and the mechanical principles behind how they work 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 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 of 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.
More recently, the Foundation unveiled its ambitious project: the Maison des Arts & de la Culture Horlogère (MACH). More than a museum, the MACH will be a vibrant space for exhibition, transmission and exchange around the art of watchmaking. Located at the heart of the Quartier des Banques, this house of 1,250 m² will span four floors, offering educational, thematic, and chronological exhibitions, complemented by a space dedicated to temporary exhibitions. Visitors will also be able to enjoy a shop, an auditorium, and various interactive spaces designed to spark curiosity and encourage discovery. Open and lively, the MACH aims to become the crossroads of watchmaking in Geneva.
