Under the leadership of Jean-Claude Biver, President of the LVMH Group Watch Division, and Chnatal Gaemperle, Director of Human Resources and Synergies and a member of LVMH Group executive committee, The LVMH School of Watchmaking has launched an original training concept combining:
  • Learning with input from two manufacturers with different products, cultures, size and DNA.
  • Access and exposure to other watch brands and disciplines within the Group, thanks to masterclasses organised within the Institut des Métiers d’Excellence.
  • Teaching and certification within the official learning structure of CIFOM, a recognised training institution based in the nearby city of Le Locle.
Working in the TAG Heuer Manufacture workshops in La Chau-de-Fonds, this year’s 12 watchmaking apprentices will benefit from an expanded programme featuring additional training courses coordinated by their two training partners: the watchmaking heritage and traditional crafts of Zenith; and the innovative, avant grade spirit of TAG Heuer.
