Apple is known for high-end products and kit that people can’t wait to get their hands on!  The world is always waiting for the... Apple Hires Tag Heuer Exec, iWatch Rumours Increase

Apple is known for high-end products and kit that people can’t wait to get their hands on!  The world is always waiting for the next amazing creation by Apple.  Right now, its the iWatch.  What makes its arrival even more exciting, is the fact that Patrick Prunjaux, the sales director of TAG Heuer, has recently been nabbed by Apple.

The iWatch is already centred around incomplete here say and rumours, but it is expected to make its awesome appearance in October; in time for holidays and early Christmas shopping!  But with the poaching of Prunjaux from such a luxury watchmaking company, people are foaming at the mouth in anticipation.  But Apple still refuses to comment!

The 'iWatch' is so anticipated, it has caused many fans to mock-up images like this one.

The ‘iWatch’ is so anticipated, it has caused many fans to mock-up images like this one.

The head of LVMH’s luxury-watch division, Jean-Claude Biver stated: “Our sales director left yesterday because he took a contract from Apple to launch the iWatch”  LVMH includes Swiss brands, TAG Heuer and Hublot.

Apple seems to have a knack for stealing highly sought out executives, especially in the last few months.  Chief Executive Angela Ahrendts, previously from Burberry, became head of retail and online sales in May; Paul Deneve, former head of Yves Saint Laurent, was also hired last year in order to work on special projects.

So what does all this mean for the iWatch?  Big things we hope!  More than just a sports watch, the stealing of such a luxury watchmaking giant should make the iWatch an incredible piece of kit!  We just hope that its as good as the rumours all foretell!  We will have to wait and see!

As always, if you would like to leave a sensible comment, then please do so in the comments section below.
