About a year ago boon one wrote most legendary watch of an article about Designer alive: "have heard of Rodolphe Cattin?"
Yesteday evening Rodolphe Montres et bijoux SA an urgent media alert sent: "Rodolphe Cattin leaves the Franck Muller group". This made me think, has sold he his soul and again it? Or is there something seriously wrong in Watchland? First Franck wanted to leave after a fight with Sirmakes.Zurück.Nun came Rodolphe sent itself the following message in the world:
"Founder Rodolphe Montres bijoux watch company and the Rodolphe & co-design studio - two entities own the Franck Muller group - Rodolphe Cattin has decided to all its operational activities within the group as of the end of October to beenden.Er remains a minority shareholder in both companies"
Rodolphe Cattin, making his decision the following notes:
"It is with a mixture of grief and relief that the group I leave, we became associated with four years ago, because I no longer feel that it has the group to any desire to develop the brand that bears my name." The same applies brands within the Franck Muller group in fact of any other 'small'.
Certainly, such a result has not proposed the early days of our cooperation with Franck Muller. For the last four years, I poured all my energy into this great adventure and our tight-knit and motivated team was able to achieve some excellent development during the first two years of the partnership, resulting in particular in the watch of the year award won in 2006 for the instinct Chrono model, followed by a second prize in 2008.jedoch, these tokens of recognition did nothing to consolidate the Rodolphe of brand location inside the group.Conditions deteriorated steadily on a global scale, and it's now quite obvious that the Group CEO, Mr of Vartan Sirmakes, decided to devote his energy and his efforts elsewhere. Despite many discussions on this issue is no longer any signs of a will, questions about verbessern.Schlimmer yet, the group is currently trying to support his claims that "small" for the difficulties of Franck Muller Watchland are responsible.Will consider up to each their own conclusions.
This kind of negative comment is just the latest episode in a series of disappointments endure in almost two years now.On the basis of a set strategy, quality and delivery-related issues the Rodolophe benefited from trade mark no longer from an environment its healthy development conducive. just to mention interpersonal conflicts and broken promises, that are harmful to daily interaction and makes it impossible to maintain a relationship of trust.
In the light which in these circumstances, I prefer to withdraw and so leave my partner free, make your own decisions, not decisions, decisions and not decisions to machen.Ich am especially creative designer with little inclination for enterprise policy, plotting and huts.And I strongly regret the attitude and the behaviour of some of my closest collaborators who can see a chance in my departure in the spotlight.
Nevertheless, even at this troubled time, I am very developed with the concept and aesthetic work by teams who supported me up-to-date work is done and it is to our successors to decide whether or not to develop and improve the achievements.
"During the remaining minority shareholders in the two Rodolphe Montres & bijoux and Rodolphe & co company, is my professional path ways with the Franck Muller group at the end of the month Abschied.Ich my creative soul my entrepreneurial spirit, and am really relieved, regain my freedom".
The media alert contain even Rodolphe's direct e-Mail address.
Robert-Jan and I already write two legendary watch designers 2 years ago and we wanted to starten.Ich think with Gerald Genta, that the second profile on Rodolphe… his sollteWas think guys? as we have his direct e-Mail address, maybe we get some straight answers
