This year, thanks to Jean-Claude Biver, the President of LVMH watches division and Chantal Gaemperle, LVMH Director of human resources, the school has welcomed 12 young people who are working and learning side by side with experts and professionals from Tag Heuer workshops and factory. They will also be lucky enough to discover all LVMH famous watch Houses and will be part of the "Institut des Métiers de l’Excellence" (Institute of business excellence).
