Founded in 1964, Les Ambassadeurs celebrated last year its 50^th anniversary in Geneva, Lugano, St Moritz and Zurich. By coincidence back in 1964, the Café “Les Ambassadeurs” on Geneva’s Rue du Rhône closed down. This was a famous bistro, which was regarded as one of the most sought-after meeting places among diplomatic circles for 20 years. The founder of Les Ambassadeurs turned out to be a true visionary when he decided to adopt this name which was both nice sounding and meaningful, as well as clearly expressing the corporate philosophy. It was in the building formerly housing the café that the first Boutique – now one of four – opened. Ever since its founding, Les Ambassadeurs has always focused on the wishes of both its national and international clients. Still today, much of the clientele is Swiss and local roots have always been regarded as very important and are still amongst its basic values. For over 50 years Les Ambassadeurs has been the reference in its field, faithfully accompanying and advising a great many watch and jewelry enthusiasts. Whether in relationships with customers or watch brands, solid partnerships have always been the most important factor in the history of Les Ambassadeurs. In 2015 the success story will continue with the opening of a fifth boutique in Lucerne.
