e recently interviewed a broad selection of managers, active in a variety of segments, to help us identify the major trends within the watch industry.

Our Q&A with Adrian Bosshard – Rado.

Europa Star: What are your strategic priorities for 2023?

Adrian Bosshard: As a “master of materials” with extensive experience in the production of high-tech ceramic watches, our top priority is to continue to talk about the many advantages of high-tech ceramic, and to make customers feel the Rado difference, through 360° communication. The second and equally important focus this year is on staff training, to ensure a first-class customer experience at every touchpoint.

The emergence of the secondary market represents a major new development. Are you taking any steps to build a presence in preowned?

The secondary market is not a concern for Rado. Our timepieces keep their beauty and radiance for a lifetime. In many cases they hold happy memories and strong emotions, and they serve as reminders of important moments in life. We’re keeping our focus on innovation, and producing new watches.
