Biver, who resuscitated Hublot from the point of bankruptcy and transformed it into one of the most powerful Swiss haute horlogerie manufactures and luxury brands in the world, was undoubtedly a captivating speaker. Indeed, Emmanuel Vrettos, President of the UICH, described Biver’s speech as “truly inspiring”. We don’t doubt it!
