Bruno Meier, CEO of Rolex, was fired today. Rolex refused to comment on a "minor" internal problem.

No journalist or camera is welcomed on Rolex premises for the last 103 years.

Someone told me Rolex is technically a "not for profit" company. Is this true?

Never mind, just checked it out - for profit, privately held. That's what I assumed but an AD said otherwise. Silly girl.

That's interesting. I wonder if we'll ever find out what led to the firing?

If Rolex gives a crap, they obviously have a different business model than Breitling.
