20 Years of FHH: A Conversation with Ilaria Resta

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.

Ilaria Resta, Chief Executive Officier of Audemars Piguet, shares her vision of how watchmaking culture continues to unite generations through a shared passion.

She underlines the importance of making the world of micromechanics and craftsmanship accessible to everyone – from those discovering it for the first time to seasoned enthusiasts – through education that is engaging, simplified, and inspiring.

For Ilaria, the diversity of backgrounds enriches watchmaking, while its unique blend of tradition, creativity, and innovation continues to resonate with younger generations in search of meaning, emotion, and connection.
