H. Moser & Cie is well-recognised for its meticulous detailing. Now, as it expands with boutique openings in different parts of the world, we spoke to Nicholas Hofmann, International Sales Director, H. Moser & Cie, about how the brand is staying true to its ethos while evolving. Hofmann joined the brand in 2010 as Regional Sales Director (Asia) and took over his current position in 2016.
WatchTime India: How has the year been so far for Moser?
Nicholas Hofmann: The year has been positive. In terms of business overall, we’re still very much in a growing situation. We just need to be cautious; the markets have slowed down. So, back to the basics of what makes good businesses succeed, and this just requires us to be more focused, more present, more in the market.
