| Women at the top: ‘We have to be open to ideas’ 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. ‘I have changed a lot in the Swatch Group and I have shown men the importance of fashion and how it can influence watchmaking. ‘It is 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. In Switzerland, we are surrounded by mountains and have to let ourselves be open to ideas.’ 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. ‘It is easier for women to understand what we might want, ’ she says. Another example is Cinette Robert, owner of Dubey & Schaldenbrand. She was taught by Georges Dubey himself, who was prepared to overlook the fact that she was a woman because she was keen to learn. ‘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. She admits it has been hard. So what advice would she give to women wanting to enter male territory? ‘Wait until you have enough experience, as the sector is becoming more competitive. It is easier now than it was in the 1960s when I started … but it is still not easy for a woman.’ |
