Jean-Claude Biver is one of the rare few individuals who indisputably influenced the course of Swiss watchmaking history.<\/a> After reviving Blancpain<\/a> \u2013 everyone remembers the now legendary slogan \u201cThere has not been a Blancpain quartz watch since 1735. And it will never exist\u201d \u2013 he built the marketing of Omega\u2019s<\/a> marketing with the development of new and very successful products and the recruitment of prominent brand ambassadors such as Cindy Crawford and James Bond 007. In 2004, he took over Hublot<\/a> , which he transformed into an international success. His strategy: \u201cGo where the potential customer is\u201d has made Hublot, notably, the first luxury brand to enter in the world of soccer. In 2014, he was appointed President of the LVMH<\/a> Watches Division, and also headed TAG Heuer<\/a> and Zenith<\/a> . In 2023, he decided to launch his own brand with his son Pierre, to pass on his experience, and because “you never retire a passion”.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
