Strategic Alliances for Industry Growth and Education
The JCK and Luxury shows' commitment to the watch industry is further solidified through strategic partnerships aimed at fostering growth and providing invaluable educational resources. The inclusion of the Fondation Haute Horlogerie (FHH) as a key partner brings a wealth of expertise in watchmaking culture and artistry.
