The Cultural Council is the cultural voice of the Fondation de la Haute Horlogerie (FHH). It has responsibility for defining the Foundation's scope with respect both to its members and its activities, to then take the message and values of Technical and Precious Fine Watchmaking into the world.

The 16 members of the Cultural Council are independent personalities, acknowledged for their professionalism and expertise. They represent retailers, journalists, specialists and collectors, alongside representatives of the founders.
