Dictionary Of Horology
On Internet At Last

After several months of development, the FH makes available today an online version of the Illustrated Professional Dictionary of Horology. The application is a practical and simple tool that allows sought-after information to be accessed very quickly. It requires no installation and can be consulted using any web browser. Entering the first letters of a word is all that is needed to find its definition and translations. Hypertext links within articles make it possible to browse from one definition to another in search of horological terms and their numerous illustrations.

Henceforth, net surfers therefore have access to 4,790 watchmaking terms and their definitions, illustrated by around one thousand pictures. The entire dictionary is available in French, English, German and Spanish. This new service is available as of now on the home page of the FH website.
