To enhance the Luxury Brand Management specialization and expose students to the luxury industry, Hotel Institute Montreux has launched a new partnership with Tourbillon Boutique.
Tourbillon is part of the Swatch Group and is a luxury retail chain of jewelry and watch boutiques found in high-end shopping destinations around the world. Their exclusive services include selling the very latest timepieces and jewelry creations produced by renowned, luxury watch brands and members of the Swatch Group. These include Breguet, Harry Winston, Blancpain, Glashütte Original, Jaquet Droz, OMEGA, and Swatch.
Tourbillon Boutique pride themselves on offering only the best bespoke services to their customers and will be an inspiring influence on the HIM students.
“Tourbillon is not just a boutique with a wide range of watches and jewelry. It is a space where we can offer you something new, exciting, and unique! Whether it's a lecture by a gem expert on the finer points of selecting precious stones, an evening of classical or jazz music or a master class in hot enamel painting on a miniature dial - you are always welcome to take part in one of the exciting events that we regularly hold at our Tourbillon boutiques,” a Tourbillon Boutique representative remarked.
As part of the Luxury Brand Management specialization this new collaboration will strengthen students’ educational experience through guest lectures conducted by Tourbillon representatives, who will provide exclusive insights into the world of luxury timepieces, jewelry, brands, and retail.
Our students will not only receive a comprehensive understanding of today’s consumer expectations and demands but will also gain unique insight into Tourbillon’s exclusive services.
Students will also have the opportunity to work on a voluntary basis at exclusive Tourbillon VIP and industry related events, offering them a gateway to network with experts in the luxury industry.
Ulrika Björklund, Academic Director at Hotel Institute Montreux, commented that “Hotel Institute Montreux is very excited to be partnering with Tourbillon Boutiques! The expertise that Tourbillon has in luxury retail and sales will support our Luxury Brand Management specialization program. Our students will not only receive a comprehensive understanding of today’s consumer expectations and demands but will also gain unique insight into Tourbillon’s exclusive services.”
Key partnerships with industry leaders are essential as they ensure that courses remain relevant and reflect the latest industry trends and insights. Hotel Institute Montreux industry partners contribute to the creation of academic programs, come to campus for guest lectures, provide students with internships, and host visits to their premises to provide students additional insights into real-life operations.
