Eigentlich ist er Architekt. Aber jetzt baut er an der Zukunft der Uhrenindustrie. Christoph Grainger-Herr ist seit April 2017 CEO der Schweizer Luxus-Uhrenmanufaktur IWC Schaffhausen und damit sozusagen der Chef-Pilot über die schönsten Fliegeruhren, für die IWC ja berühmt ist. Die Big Pilot zählt zu den absoluten Design-Ikonen der Branche. IWC steht für International Watch Company. 1868 vom amerikanischen Ingenieur Florentine Ariosto Jones gegründet. Er arbeitete als Uhrmacher in Boston und entschied sich dann, in die Schweiz zu gehen und dort qualitativ hochwertige Uhren für den amerikanischen Markt zu produzieren. In der Schweiz gibt es eben die besten Watchmaker. Der Beginn einer weltweiten Erfolgsstory.   Im Rahmen der „Watches & Wonders“, der größten Uhrenmesse der Welt in Genf, hatte ich jetzt die Gelegenheit mit Chris Grainger-Herr zu sprechen. In TOMorrow erklärt er die neuesten Modelle und wichtigsten Trends. Sein Ziel: „Wir möchten die verantwortungsbewussteste, mechanische Uhr herstellen, die in der Welt verfügbar ist“, sagt er. Nachhaltigkeit next Level - was bedeutet: IWC designt jetzt erstmals auch Uhrenarmbänder aus Papier, Paperstraps im Luxus-Segment. Wie das funktioniert, spannend.   Der IWC-Chef spricht auch über spektakuläre neue Store-Konzepte, über VICs – Very Important Clients – und natürlich über die Zusammenarbeit mit Sport-Giganten wie Superbowl-Champion Tom Brady und Formel-1-Rekordweltmeister Lewis Hamilton. Beide sind seit Jahren Markenbotschafter und Freunde des Hauses. Wie es mit den beiden ist, was er an ihnen bewundert. Und was passiert, wenn echte Topgun-Piloten die neusten Fliegeruhren testen – das alles jetzt hier in TOMorrow.     Chris Grainger-Herr erzählt aber auch, wie sich sein Workflow in den letzten Monaten verändert hat und er komplett zum digitalen CEO geworden ist. Warum Videocalls schwierig sind, wenn jeder seine gestellte Pose hat, sobald die Kamera on ist und wieso er Clubhouse spannend findet – der Manager und Mensch hinter der Weltmarke.   Aber jetzt: It‘s time – Big Pilot, jetzt kommt der Chefpilot. Viel Spaß mit dem CEO von IWC Schaffhausen, viel Spaß mit Chris Grainger-Herr.

For Lewis Hamilton the most important thing is finding balance in life. In this episode of Partners In Time, the 7-time Formula 1 World Champion shares how he found balance between his professional and personal lives. He enjoys family time, exploring the mountains and doing winter sports. IWC CEO Chris Grainger-Herr and Hamilton discuss current changes in our rapidly evolving world and the fact that brands and people are starting to think more diversely is indicative of a positive trend in our society. In addition, Hamilton provides some tips on how to focus on yourself and free yourself from outside influences.
