The Michelangelo Foundation brings the Homo Faber fellows to London’s artisan festival

Jaeger-LeCoultre and the Michalengelo Foundation come together at London Craft Week 2024. The week-long festival (13th-19th May) celebrates the best of British and international crafts, attracting hundreds of artists, artisans, brands and galleries from around the world.

For the best part of two centuries, Jaeger-LeCoultre has been championing innovation and creativity, producing extraordinary and iconic timepieces which earned the company the moniker of “the watchmaker of watchmakers”. The Michelangelo Foundation is committed to backing contemporary craftspeople worldwide with the aim of promoting a more human, inclusive and sustainable future.

At London Craft Week 20204, the Foundation is presenting the work of the twenty duos of artisans – master and apprentice – who took part in the first edition of the Homo Faber Fellowship, an international education programme supported by Jaeger-LeCoultre. Vincent Satiat, UK & Ireland brand director comments, “Throughout its history, Jaeger-LeCoultre has created unique ties with artisans and the craftmanship communities around the world. We are committed to nurture and develop the talent of tomorrow. The Homo Faber Fellowship programme resonates perfectly with this aim of developing young artisans and perpetuating know-how through generations.”
