Title: Apple poaches TAG Heuer sales director, presumably to help launch mythical iWatch Post by: HCK on July 05, 2014, 09:00:26 am Apple poaches TAG Heuer sales director, presumably to help launch mythical iWatch
<article> <section class="page"> <p> Apple has poached a top executive from renowned Swiss watch manufacturer TAG Heuer, adding further support to rumors that an iWatch announcement is coming this year.</p><p> The news comes by way of CNBC (http://www.cnbc.com/id/101812950), which interviewed Jean-Claude Biver, pictured in the image above. Biver is the head of watches for LVMH (http://www.lvmh.com/the-group/lvmh-companies-and-brands/watches-jewelry/tag-heuer), which owns TAG Heuer, Hublot and Zenith, among other European luxury brands. He said an unnamed TAG Heurer sales director left for Apple as recently as last week.</p><p> “He took a contract with Apple to launch the iWatch,” Biver told CNBC. “If the job is great, you should be happy for him. And this is a great job. If he would have gone to my direct competitors, I would have felt a little bit betrayed. But if he goes to Apple, I think it’s a great experience for him.”</p><p class="jumpTag"><a href="/article/2449836/apple-poaches-tag-heuer-sales-director-presumably-to-help-launch-mythical-iwatch.html#jump">To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here[/url]</p></section></article> Source: Apple poaches TAG Heuer sales director, presumably to help launch mythical iWatch (http://www.macworld.com/article/2449836/apple-poaches-tag-heuer-sales-director-presumably-to-help-launch-mythical-iwatch.html#tk.rss_all) |
