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, which interviewed Jean-Claude Biver, pictured in the image above. Biver is the head of watches for
LVMH, 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>
