  • Jean-Claude Biver LVMH Group, President of the Watches Division TAG Heuer, CEO Hublot, Chairman of the Board Jean-Claude Biver I
    Jean-Claude Biver LVMH Group, President of the Watches Division TAG Heuer, CEO Hublot, Chairman of the board Jean-Claude Biver is one of those rare men who have genuinely left their mark on Swiss watchmaking. Born in Luxembourg on September 20th 1949, his family moved to Switzerland when he was ten years old. He attended the Collège de Morges, obtained his maturité at the Lausanne Business School and completed his studies at the University of Lausanne. Having obtained his HEC (University of Lausanne Business School) diploma, he settled in Le Brassus. His time spent in the Joux Valley, the cradle of fine watchmaking, had a decisive impact on his life. He took up residence next to a farm, which in later years became the headquarters of Blancpain. He seized the unique opportunity of a year's "all-rounder" training offered to him by Audemars Piguet in 1975, after which he concentrated on sales and marketing. During that year, he was immersed in all aspects of the business, which enabled him to acquire a deep knowledge of the watchmaking art. This is how he developed his passion for watchmaking and watchmakers. In 1980, he left Audemars Piguet to join Omega as gold products manager. In this position, he learnt the rules and constraints inherent in working for a big international brand. In 1982, feeling nostalgic for the watchmaking culture of the Joux Valley, he and his friend Jacques Piguet bought the Blancpain name which had been dormant since 1961. Using the slogan "Since 1735 there has never been a quartz Blancpain, and there never will be", he quickly revived the company and increased the turnover to 50 million Swiss francs.

  • An Audience with Philippe Pascal – Head of Watches and Jewellery at LVMH
    Industry | 73 Patrician An audience with Philippe Pascal – head of watches and jewellery at LVMH Nicholas Foulkes 1 It seems that one of the key criteria when commissioning an architect to design your luxury HQ is to infuse the project with a palpable sense of awe. Much as the medieval indigent would feel on spying the impregnable walls of a ruler’s castle; or how a pilgrim is awed into silence at the end of his journey; so, it would seem, the luxury bosses want visitors to feel when entering their lairs. Cartier is one example – a steel and glass fortress practically covering an entire city block. LVMH on the Avenue Montaigne is another. As if the building was not humbling enough, I was here to meet the man responsible for the group’s entire jewellery and wristwatch portfolio – TAG Heuer was bought by LVMH in 1999 and has quickly established itself as the world’s leading sports TAG and Zenith included.
