20 Years of FHH: A Conversation with Cyrille Vigneron

Industry

The FHH was founded in 2005 by Audemars Piguet, Girard-Perregaux and the Richemont Group with a shared vision to conserve watchmaking culture. Over two decades, the non-profit organisation has promoted the cultural, technical and artistic values in watchmaking, protecting its heritage and helping to build a sustainable future.

On the occasion of the foundation's 20th anniversary celebration, we were able to sit down with the representatives of the founders' current representatives.

In this in-depth conversation, Cyrille Vigneron, Chairman, Culture & Philanthropy at Cartier, representing Richemont, explores the dual nature of time: both as a human-made convention that enables cooperation and as a field where craftsmanship and creativity continue to evolve.

He reminds us that watchmaking culture is not a fixed tradition but a living force, shaped by history and continuously renewed by those who are passionate about passing it on.

Through this film, we invite you to reflect on our shared responsibility: to preserve this heritage, question its meaning and ensure its transmission to future generations.
