La Fédération Horlogère

La Fédération Horlogère was a watch industry publication active from 1886 through 1943.

The first edition of La Fédération Horlogère was published on December 20, 1886 by editor Fritz Huguenin of Bienne. It was initially distributed there as well as in La Chaux-de-Fonds and Le Locle and was published weekly. It was printed by the Nouveau Pressverein de Bienne until January 1889.

Ownership and publishing was taken over by the Fédération Horlogère Suisse for the January 5, 1889 issue and printing moved to La Chaux-de-Fonds for the August 4, 1892 issue.

Archives of La Fédération Horlogère from the collection of the Bibliothèque de la Ville, La Chaux-de-Fonds are available in The Watch Library from 1886 through 1943.

In 1948, following the demise of La Fédération Horlogère, a supplement was added to the Journal Suisse de l'Horlogerie for official communication of the Fédération Suisse des Associations de Fabricants d'Horlogerie (FH).
