Changes in the Executive Management Board
The Executive Group Management Board of Swatch Group will welcome two new members. Mr. Damiano Casafina, CEO of the production company ETA, and Mr. Sylvain Dolla, CEO of the Tissot brand and member of the Group's Extended Group Management Board, were elected to the Executive Group Management Board at the last meeting of the Swatch Group Board of Directors.

In addition, three new members will join the Extended Group Management Board. They are Mr. Roland von Keith, CEO of the German manufacture Glashütte Original, Mr. Stephen De Lucchi, Country Manager of Swatch Group Hong Kong SAR and Swatch Group Macao SAR, and Mr. Alain Villard, CEO of the Swatch brand.
