FOLIO.YVR ☆ Interview with Raynald Aeschlimann, FOLIO.YVR ☆ Interview with Raynald Aeschlimann, Global OMEGA President & CEO⁠
⁠
On having a passion for one's work: "It's a privilege to work for such an iconic Swiss watchmaker. What I love about OMEGA are the authentic stories behind our brand. ⁠
⁠
For example, we have been the Official Timekeeper of the Olympic Games since 1932. We were the first watch worn on the moon in 1969. We have been the choice of James Bond since 1995. We went to the deepest place on Earth in 2019. These are just a few examples. ⁠
⁠
There is a genuine legacy that customers can believe in with OMEGA, and a genuine quality that backs up that heritage. As a company driven by passion and pioneering spirit, I know that we will continue to create more iconic stories into the future." ⁠

She shows them that they do not have to turn their whole lives upside down and start from scratch, but with her help, they will get an inside line to the absolute best food, luxury fashion, and wellness options in the world. ⁠
