Question 8592 — cultural heritage

Summary

An application relating to the know-how of the cross-Channel watchmaking arc between France and England could constitute an extension of know-how in watchmaking mechanics and artistic mechanics, an application submitted jointly by Switzerland and France and included on the representative list of the intangible cultural heritage of Humanity in 2020. The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland having ratified the convention for the safeguarding of intangible cultural heritage on March 7, 2024 and now being a state party to the convention, such a candidate project is possible. Its realization, however, presupposes that the know-how of watchmaking mechanics appears on an inventory of intangible cultural heritage maintained and updated by this State, and that it makes the choice, in agreement with the community of practitioners carrying this know-how, of submit an application to join the element inscribed by Switzerland and France. Such a move would also require the approval of these States.
