Published: 21 February 2011

As of January 2011, Franck Juhel is the new Mission Delegate for the Fondation de la Haute Horlogerie (FHH) in Spain.

Franck Juhel, a 29 year-old French national, married with two children, is the current director of Jaeger-LeCoultre for the Spanish market. He is a graduate in Business Management of the elite École des Dirigeants & Créateurs d’entreprise (EDC) in Paris, and has impressive international experience in the luxury goods industry, having held a number of positions of responsibility in some of the sector's major companies.

The Fondation de la Haute Horlogerie was created in Geneva in 2005 and it has three main objectives: to promote Fine Watchmaking at an international level, to train Fine Watch professionals and affirm its role as a think tank for the Fine Watch industry.

In 2009, the Fondation de la Haute Horlogerie and the Federation of the Swiss Watch Industry joined forces to launch an international anti-counterfeiting campaign entitled “Fake Watches are for Fake People”.

Franck Juhel's mission in Spain is to co-ordinate the activities of the Foundation for its partner brands and its HH Ambassadors retailers, so that Fine Watchmaking values can be conveyed to Spanish consumers.
