Karl-Friedrich Scheufele, Co-President of Chopard, was honoured with the ‘GQ Lifetime Achievement Award’ for his outstanding contribution to the watch industry at the GQ’s Baselworld Cocktail Party.
Karl-Friedrich Scheufele is known for his love of chronometry and fascination for the history of watchmaking. Born in Pforzheim in 1958, Scheufele was educated in Geneva before joining Chopard, the family company, in 1985. During his tenure as Co-President, he has transformed the company’s men’s watchmaking operation into one of the most respected manufacturers in Switzerland. Today, Chopard produces 80,000 watches a year and has over 2000 employees. Another of Mr. Scheufele’s outstanding achievements includes rebuilding a watch manufacturer in Fleurier, which produces the L.U.C. collection of Haute Horlogerie. The company celebrates its 20th anniversary this year.
