This title is awarded after a competition, marking both personal achievement and peer recognition . It is obviously a more commercial to assert, a pledge of quality and control of the discipline .

Following the success of the first contest at the 2008 edition of the SILMO, the association MOF Lunetiers was created, to officially represent the discipline, in France but also internationally. It was founded by the 14 MOF Lunetiers present at this first show. Every year, she is represented there, it was still the case on the edition of the SILMO 2015.

MOF Lunetier Competition Training

The idea: to also promote the MOF Lunetier national competition and to make known, then to accompany the laureates and future winners.

It is to follow this step that six trainers, MOF Lunetiers they, too, decided to open a school! Since 2011 there is the School of MOF Lunetiers in Morez, which allows any professional optics to improve in the manufacture and customization of mounts.

The courses consist of 3 mandatory courses , supervised by MOF lunetiers trainers who host up to 4 trainees per trainer. A qualitative approach to allow to give all the best chances and to aim the excellence of this MOF Lunetier contest.
