Do comunicado:
This integration and openness mark an important step in the
Foundation’s desire to support the watchmaking industry as a whole, with all
the stakeholders.
Founded in September 2022, on the initiative of Rolex,
Richemont and Patek Philippe, the Watches and Wonders Geneva Foundation is
pleased to announce the arrival of three new key members, Chanel, Hermès and
LVMH, which are joining the founding members on the WWGF Board.
After two years as Chairman, Jean-Frédéric Dufour, CEO of
Rolex, will pass the torch on 1 July 2024 to his successor, Cyrille Vigneron,
President and CEO of Cartier, for two years, and will become the Treasurer of
WWGF.
Under the stewardship of Cyrille Vigneron as Chairman and
Claude Peny as Vice-Chairman, WWGF's Board will focus on defining the strategic
and development axes of Watches and Wonders Geneva, a major event which
currently brings together the biggest players in the global watchmaking
industry. With 54 exhibiting brands and 49,000 visitors at its last edition in
April 2024, Watches and Wonders Geneva posted a record result.
The Exhibiting Committee, composed of representatives of the
exhibiting brands, will continue to ensure the success of the event.
The integration of these new members will undoubtedly allow
WWGF to make watchmaking shine even more intensely around the world through its
flagship event, Watches and Wonders Geneva.
The next edition of Watches and Wonders Geneva will be held
from 1 to 7 April 2025. Stay tuned for more information.
