DISCOVER THE HOROPEDIA.ORG ENCYCLOPEDIA AND THE FUTURE MACH AT THE HEART OF THE EPHJ SHOW
For the fourth consecutive year, the Horopedia Foundation will be present at the EPHJ show at Palexpo Geneva. Visitors will be able to discover the horopedia.org encyclopedia, explore its many educational contents via an interactive screen and test, in collaboration with Immensive, the prototype of the interactive display case developed for the future Maison des Arts & de la Culture Horlogère (MACH).
After its notable participation at Watches & Wonders Geneva 2026, the Horopedia Foundation continues its presence at major watchmaking events by taking part in the 2026 edition of the EPHJ show, which will take place from June 16 to 19 at Palexpo Geneva.
Throughout the show, Horopedia will present its two main activities: its online encyclopedia horopedia.org as well as the project of the Maison des Arts & de la Culture Horlogère (MACH), a future museum space in Geneva dedicated to watchmaking culture.
Visitors will have the opportunity to discover the world of horopedia.org thanks to an interactive screen allowing direct navigation within the encyclopedia. They will be able to explore more than 100 educational videos illustrating watchmaking know-how, gestures and techniques, as well as more than 1,000 pages of content devoted to definitions, mechanical principles and technical explanations related to watchmaking.
For those who have not yet had the opportunity to catch a glimpse of the interactive display case prototype presented in the LAB of Watches & Wonders Geneva 2026, it will also be exhibited on the Horopedia booth in collaboration with Immensive. Designed for the MACH, this interactive showcase offers an innovative way to understand watchmaking, combining physical objects, digital content, and touch interactions in an immersive and intuitive experience.
This participation in EPHJ will also be an opportunity to exchange with the Foundation’s team about its missions of transmission, promotion of watchmaking know-how, and future developments of the MACH.
We look forward to welcoming you on our booth (N94) and to introducing you to this new way of exploring the world of watchmaking!

ABOUT HOROPEDIA
The Horopedia Foundation was created in February 2023 and was granted 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 dedicated to watchmaking. The platform was launched in 2022 and quickly received unanimous support within the community.
To this Day, more than 100 multilingual documentary films about 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 learning materials 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 watchmaking 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 living space for exhibition, transmission, and exchange around the art of watchmaking. Located in the heart of the Quartier des Banques, this house of 1,250 m² will span four floors, offering didactic, 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.
