Anita Porchet receives the "Tribute to talent" from the Fondation de la haute horlogerie

The enameller Anita Porchet and the co-president of Chopard, Karl-Friedrich Scheufele, were honored by the Fondation de la haute horlogerie. Two personalities who refuse to give in to the imperatives of financial short-termism.

Slowness is also a quality. This is essentially the message delivered by the Fondation de la haute horlogerie (FHH), which decided to reward the independent enamel artist Anita Porchet and the co-president of Chopard, Karl-Friedrich Scheufele. A “Tribute to talent” and a “Tribute to passion” were awarded Thursday evening at the Cité du Temps in Geneva to two personalities who do not know each other but who have one thing in common: not to give in to short-term economic imperatives by building projects and relationships that last.
