Groupe Chaumont is launched: a new platform serving the Swiss watch industry <\/p>\n
\u00a0 \u201cThe fine watchmaking market demands components of the highest quality and precision. In this context, Groupe Chaumont aims to be an industrial partner capable of bringing together, under a single Swiss banner, the finest expertise- from cases to movements, from cutting tools to the development of complications. Our goal is to create an industrial group in which companies of excellence- deeply rooted in the Swiss Made tradition and led by talented entrepreneurs- share their experience, expertise, and resources. \u201cTogether, we will build the leading platform dedicated to components for fine watchmaking,\u201d said CEO Umberto Macchi di Cellere. The entrepreneurs of the four companies involved will reinvest in Groupe Chaumont\u2019s capital, becoming shareholders while continuing to lead their respective companies: \u201cWe are proud to be the first founding companies of this initiative. We firmly believe in the project and in the power of collaboration: the ability to pool our expertise and experience, while continuing to guarantee our customers the highest levels of quality, reliability, and innovation, represents an extraordinary opportunity for growth. We look forward to welcoming new partners to Groupe Chaumont to further expand the range of products and services we offer,\u201d they commented. \n Copyright \u00a9 2026 FashionNetwork.com All rights reserved.\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Vam Investments, a private equity firm specialising in buyout transactions and consolidation platforms, announces the creation of Groupe…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":94883,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[4],"tags":[43249,28782,2515,1736,35234,46359,41,17,47338],"class_list":["post-94882","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-switzerland","tag-beauty","tag-bulgari","tag-fashion","tag-luxury","tag-network","tag-professionals","tag-swiss","tag-switzerland","tag-tods"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@ch\/116840958421306327","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/94882","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=94882"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/94882\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/94883"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=94882"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=94882"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=94882"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
