The Federation of the Swiss Watch Industry FH (Fédération de l'industrie horlogère suisse) is the Swiss watch industry's leading trade association.
Contents |
It was created in the 1930 as part of the joint efforts to re-organise the Swiss Watch Industry in a way that it could survive the Big Recession and gear itself to sustain any further downturn. It has always been headquartered in Biel/Bienne, Switzerland. Most of the Swiss Watch Companies are members.
It is a private, non-profit trade association, with over 500 members representing more than 90% of all Swiss watch manufacturers (finished products, watch movements, components, etc.).
The Federation's avowed goals are:
Aside from offices in Switzerland, it maintains permanent offices in Hong Kong and Japan.
The Federation of the Swiss Watch Industry FH launched a proposal regarding the "Swiss made" label. The main reason is that some companies that manufacture fine watches do not enjoy the quality of some timepieces that have the "Swiss made" label.
Jean-Daniel Pasche, who is currently the chairman of the Federation of the Swiss Watch Industry FH, said that the reform project looks forward to improve the way fine watches are evaluated.
On the FH website, one can find the listings of all the members, including most of the manufacturers of parts and their respective websites, as well as many other interesting information about the Swiss Watch Industry, including the rules on the label Swiss Made, statistics, etc.
