INHORGENTA becomes an official Partner of the Fondation Haute Horlogerie, further expanding their strategic collaboration in 2026

July 8, 2025

INHORGENTA and the Fondation Haute Horlogerie (FHH) are pleased to announce a partnership that will shape the future of watchmaking culture at INHORGENTA. After a successful first collaboration in 2025, the two institutions are formalising their relationship to co-create an even more ambitious and engaging experience for the 2026 edition.

This new partnership marks a significant milestone: it is the first time the Fondation Haute Horlogerie enters into a long-term institutional partnership with a leading international watch and jewellery event. United by a shared vision to promote the cultural and artistic value of fine watchmaking, INHORGENTA and the FHH are setting the stage for a renewed and expanded FHH Cultural Space from 20 to 23 February 2026 at INHORGENTA, Messe München.

“Together, we are shaping a future which will honor the craftsmanship, creativity, and cultural relevance of fine watchmaking,” says Stefanie Maendlein, Exhibition Director INHORGENTA. “The response in 2025 collaboration was extraordinary—and in 2026, we aim to take this experience to the next level.”

The FHH Cultural Space will return with a stronger identity and an expanded format, offering a curated programme of exhibitions, talks, and immersive experiences designed to inspire, educate, and spark dialogue across generations and disciplines.

“This partnership reflects our conviction that fine watchmaking is a living cultural heritage to be shared with the world,” adds Aurélie Streit, Vice President, Fondation Haute Horlogerie. “By joining forces with INHORGENTA, we are reinforcing our mission to showcase the emotional depth, artistic value, and contemporary relevance of Haute Horlogerie, and to bring it closer to new and diverse audiences.”

Further details about the 2026 programme will be revealed in the coming months. But one thing is certain: INHORGENTA and the Fondation Haute Horlogerie will once again bring together the global watchmaking community in Munich, offering a celebration of horological excellence and cultural resonance.

Save the date: INHORGENTA 2026 takes place from 20 to 23 February at Messe München.
