Take a moment of silence....
 

for the man that revitalized the watch business and has made it the thriving business it is today...love him or hate him..he was a great man...

Biel/Bienne, 28 June 2010 - With deep sadness and regret we inform you that Mr. Nicolas G. Hayek, Chairman and Delegate of the Board of Directors of The Swatch Group Ltd. unexpectedly passed away today due to heart failure during work at his beloved Swatch Group.

RIP...just read about him in the WSJ Magazine a few weeks back..had a vision and acted on it...
deepest condolences...

The community has lost a giant.

Thats sad, Breguet would not be what it is today without Mr. Hayek.

Holy smoke...I was just reading an article about him yesterday and thinking he looked pretty cool wearing two watches on the right hand, one on the left and a cigar to boot!

Legendary...

RIP.

Wow. I also was just reading a great article about how revolutionary he was to the industry. RIP.
