Just 18 months after taking the helm with huge promises, the romance between Vincent Perriard (formerly Concord) and Technomarine is over.? It was just last July when I first wrote about Perriard coming to Technomarine to re-ignite the brand in close efforts with Christian Viros (formerly TAG Heuer).? From the get-go, Perriard came with big promises, nee – a GUARANTEE of a new era for the troubled brand.? You can read some of this big talk in a Dec’09 interview with Perriard by my watch friends at The Watch Lounge.“Expect the unexpected” Perriard said.? I’m just not sure this “unexpected” he had in mind!? I don’t know much and won’t speculate on the ‘why’, but I will say that whatever the circumstances of this departure, this does not reflect well upon Perriard nor Technomarine.Good work by he who is always in the know” (aka Gregory Pons of Business Montres (en francais)) on this scoop!
