Women at the top: “We have to be open to details”

Arlette-Elsa Emch brought a new business plan to the largest watch company in the world: the Swatch Group. Ms Emch has been so successful that she is perhaps the most powerful woman in the Swiss watch industry.

“It was important to bring a woman`s feeling to watches, as 60 per cent of watch buyers are women. You have to listen and see what is happening.

Another high-powered woman is the energetic Caroline Gruosi-Scheufele, co-president of family-owned Chopard. She changed Chopard from a watch company into an international luxury jewellery and watch brand.

“When I started work, we made just watches, but today we are well-known for our jewellery. When I first had the idea of making jewellery in 1976, my brother and father thought I was crazy, but they trusted me, “ she says. Today, Chopard`s jewellery   sales equal watch sales in value terms. Another example is Cinette Robert, owner of Dubey & Schaldenbrand.

In the 1960s in Switzerland, women were not so well accepted in the workplace. They were given only small jobs, but this didn`t disturb me. I found my way.”

Her way was to turn to banking in Zurich and, in 1995, she bought Dubey & Schaldenbrand, complete with ten watchmakers, and today employs 100 people.

More than half of the people who buy watches are men. False.

Chopard earns as much money from jewelry as from watches. True.

Cinette Robert has owned her company for more than ten years. True.

Chopard has always made both jewellery and watches. False.

More than a 1000 people work with Dubey & Schaldenbrand. False.
