Watch Live - FHH Academy vs Dictionary of Horology Uso e estatísticas

The Federation of the Swiss Watch Industry FH is delighted to publish a new version of the Dictionary of Horology for everyone with an interest in watchmaking, as well as the general public. It follows on from the Illustrated Professional Dictionary of Horology, written by G.-A. Berner and published by the Swiss Chamber of Watchmaking in 1961, the supplement published by the Société du Journal La Suisse Horlogère SA in 1995 and the consolidated version by the FH in 2002, which many experts still refer to as the “Berner Dictionary”. The dictionary has been completely revised to reflect the changes in the world in general, and the watchmaking industry in particular. Accordingly, a panel of experts has reviewed 4,800 terms and 950 illustrations to decide whether they should be retained, amended or removed, alongside the addition of 470 new entries. The experts involved have taken care only to retain and add terms related directly to watchmaking, to make the dictionary a unique work that is entirely dedicated to the sector. The latter often uses specialist terms that are known only to insiders, which is why it is important to make them accessible to anyone with an interest in the subject. Written in French, German and English, the new version contains 6,000 terms and almost 900 illustrations, some of which have been deliberately kept in their original style. © Federation of the Swiss Watch Industry FH 1961-2024 - www.fhs.swiss
