November 2000




The Richemont Group chooses Geneva for its headquarters

Richemont's expansion continues. The group plans the construction of its future headquarters in Geneva's Bellevue region. Owner of prestigious brands such as Cartier, Piaget and Vacheron Constantin, the Richemont Group will build an administrative center for 200 employees. About 10500 square meters will be allotted to the new headquarters.
The watch industry's presence in Geneva has been reinforced during the last decade. Patek Philippe built an important production site in the industrial part of Geneva's Plan-les-Ouates, and Rolex Industry invested 60 million Swiss Francs to extend its site in Thônex.
