COMPANY BIOMÉRIEUX COUNTRY FRANCE


Having served his apprenticeship at Audemars Piguet in the 1970s, the 68-year-old Biver rescued Blancpain, Omega and Hublot before Bernard Arnault promoted him to LVMH watch division president and tasked him with saving TAG Heuer and Zenith. Biver is credited with helping to rescue the Swiss luxury watch industry from the “quartz crisis” of the 1970s and pioneered celebrity endorsements and product placements. He targets new generations of watch consumers and embraces disrupters such as the Apple Watch. TAG Heuer contributed greatly to the Watch & Jewellery business group at LVMH in 2017, making a 12% profit year-on-year profit to €512 million ($629 million).
