Audemars Piguet signs a partnership contract with Swiss Learning

June 2009


During this period of economical turbulence and crisis, the tendency is to turn to fundamental values and traditions.

It is on this basis that Audemars Piguet and Swiss Learning joined forces in promoting the Excellence of Switzerland.

Today, just as in business world, education is a domain which is becoming more and more competitive and increasingly geared towards the international market. Swiss Learning, the flagship for Swiss education, highlights the pedagogical, multilingual, and multicultural strengths of our country.

When a student enters the door of a renowned Swiss school, he enters the highly exclusive club of Excellence, one of the values extolled by Audemars Piguet and which has enabled the watch manufacturer in Le Brassus to succeed over the years, by consistently creating innovative timepieces with ever more avant-garde designs and concepts.

In signing this partnership, Mr. Philippe Merk, the CEO of Audemars Piguet, reminded us of the importance of high-level education which trains the future driving force of our society: “we must pursue these exchanges in order to develop the reputation of our country, by highlighting the quality of our education and creating strong international synergies between Switzerland and foreign countries”.

Thanks to this collaboration, conferences have been set up around the world to emphasize the skills, the wealth of dynamic teaching methods that our country offers. A certain number of dates have already been scheduled for Italy, Germany, France and Turkey as well as Brazil, Mexico, China and Japan where Swiss Learning recently opened an office, an information platform for local institutions.

These meetings are also an opportune means of cultivating special and extremely close ties with alumni students.“Alumni students from our schools are the true ambassadors for Switzerland, they are proof of the values, the philosophy and the professionalism of our country” said Mr. Christophe-Xavier Clivaz, Director of Swiss Learning.

In addition to the good sound knowledge acquired during their stay in Switzerland, students naturally make the most of this educational experience to broaden their horizons thanks to the international and multicultural environment in which they are immersed.
