Watches and Wonders Geneva Foundation welcomes 3 new members
Chanel, Hermès, and LVMH join the Watches and Wonders Geneva Foundation Board as founding members, marking an important step in the Foundation’s desire to support the watchmaking industry as a whole, with all the stakeholders. After two years as Chairman, Jean-Frédéric Dufour, CEO of Rolex, passed the torch on July 1, 2024, to his successor, Cyrille Vigneron – President and CEO of Cartier – for two years, and is now 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 that 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, with the next edition slated to be held from April 1 to 7, 2025.
