For Those Ready To Build A Legacy
If you are a proactive operational leader who thrives on the boutique floor and seeks to build something truly historic, we invite you to join us in our revival. You will play an essential role in opening a completely new chapter for "Le Couturier de la Montre" as we establish our global foundation in the prestigious city of Geneva.
Universal Genève
Founded in 1894, Universal Genève is an iconic Swiss watchmaking Maison celebrated for its rich heritage and timeless elegance. Known as the “Couturier de la Montre”, the Maison unites technical excellence with refined design, crafting timepieces with the same precision, creativity, and attention to detail as a couture creation.
Today, Universal Genève enters a new chapter. Its revival is shaped by exceptional timepieces and a commitment to offering a client journey that is seamless, personal, and elevated.
At Universal Genève, every experience is crafted with intention. Every gesture, every interaction, every detail is tailored to the individual rather than the catalogue.
This philosophy shapes the Assistant Boutique Director (f/m/x) role, where service is approached with the same care and precision as watchmaking itself.
