Fondation De La Haute Horlogerie FHH Adds 12 New Partners
The Fondation de la Haute Horlogerie, whose mission is to be an independent guardian of watchmaking culture and “promote Fine Watchmaking throughout the world,” continues to grow their membership. Founded in 2005 by the Richemont Group, Audemars Piguet, and Girard-Perregaux, the Fondation de la Haute Horlogerie (FHH) has a range of activities among which is organizing the annual watch trade show SIHH that is second in importance for the watch industry only to Baselworld and takes place a couple of months before. Both SIHH and the Foundation have continued to grow in size in recent years, increasing the number of partner brands as well as exhibitors at the show. So, it should perhaps be unsurprising that many of the 12 brands the FHH has just announced as new “partners” are also bringing their booths and money to SIHH from Baselworld.Adding 12 new members to the FHH’s partners brings the total list to 41 brands (see them all above) as of late 2017.

The B.R.M. Birotor Caps Things Off
Up until recently, I had not heard of the independent watch brand B.R.M. and their line up of racing-inspired watches – but I’m glad I stumbled across them. The model we’ll focus on today is another entry into the trend of what I consider to be an industrial style.Of course, you could quite easily argue that it’s simply the automotive racing nature of things informing the style, and it’s not something I’d put up a fight about. That said, I’ve been noticing (especially on the higher end models) that when you get to an open-worked watch, such as this one with plenty of open space, the case takes on a more industrial feel, as if to mimic the machinery in the movement.
