Edouard Meylan was born in 1976 in the Vallée de Joux, Switzerland. He was involved in the watchmaking world from a young age through his family, who had been in this field for generations. With a Masters in Engineering from the EPFL in Lausanne, Switzerland, and an MBA from Wharton, Philadelphia, USA, Edouard Meylan has a 360° perspective of the watchmaking business. His experience includes regional leadership roles for high-end independent watch brands in Asia and Europe, management consulting across various industries and founding a luxury brand, prior to joining H. Moser & Cie.
In April 2013, Edouard Meylan became CEO at H. Moser & Cie. Since starting as CEO, Edouard has brought a refreshing dynamism to H. Moser & Cie., which is now clearly positioned as an innovative, key player on the new watchmaking scene. Under the leadership of Edouard Meylan and his team, H. Moser creations have benefited from an energetic, modern approach and an air of bold distinction, while still staying true to the brand DNA of the Manufacture.
In a unique position linking traditional watchmaking with unexpected designs, product development and brand communications, Edouard Meylan is known for taking a clear and decisive stance in the watch industry. Breaking with convention, H. Moser & Cie. has caused in 2016 a stir with the launch of the Swiss Alp Watch, insisting on the need to focus on traditional watchmaking amid the debate on smart watches. The company has also become known for its Concept Series of watches with no visible logo or index, providing a contrast to increasingly elaborate watchmaking often seen today and proving that true luxury is unmistakeable.
