What today’s watch managers can still learn from Voltaire

Voltaire was a universal genius. He was not only a philosopher, but also a clever businessman and made a large fortune, which gave him the freedom to do what he enjoyed.

His greatest challenge, however, was to found, vertically diversify and professionally manage the “MANUFACTURE ROYALE DE MONTRES DE FERNEY” (1770-1778). (This is not directly related to the products and the brand Manufacture Royale !)
