MrWatchMaster Opinion: BHI – Awarding The Next Generation Horologists

We are delighted to be partnering with the British Horological Institute (BHI) to bring you all the best coverage of their forthcoming Awards Day 2017. The BHI is a national membership organisation that represents the views and interests of all of Britain’s horologists.

Students learning their craft at the BHI

They set national standards of horological practice and provide training and education for current and future generations of horologists. Every year, the BHI recognises and rewards the best horological students that have undertaken the large portfolio of courses that are offered through the Institute.

It is most encouraging to note that the 2017 results are at a record high standard and that students have been rewarded in their steadfast exam preparation.” Stella Howard, BHI Chairman

This year’s Awards Day, is by invitation only and will be a unique chance to meet the students and enjoy talks by Stephen Forsey FBHI and Alan, Viscount Midleton FBHI, as well as seeing a professional horological demonstration by Alan Burtoft FBHI. Further to this there will be tours of Upton Hall, and of course the main event, the Awards Ceremony.

Stephen Forsey will deliver a Keynote address about the precision of the tourbillon

I would like to offer congratulations to the successful candidates this year. The overall standard of the results for this year’s examinations shows a marked improvement on previous years, indeed some are exceptional. I should like to wish our students good luck in pursuing higher BHI qualifications and in their future careers.” Jeff O’Dowd, Chief Examiner
